DOWNTOWN. Owned by the Oliver Bonacini group (which also owns the much lauded Canoe and Auberge du Pommier), Biff's is a charming French bistro serving a traditional menu. Steak frites, duck confit, bouillabaisse and mussels Provençale are standouts, but there are additional options like braised rabbit, arctic char with celeriac and cabbage remoulade, and grilled quail.

Description:
DOWNTOWN. Brasaii's contemporary gray and white decor takes its cue from the 1920s-era black and white photographic prints that line the walls. When combined with fantastic traditional French cuisine, the effect is a stylish dining experience that just may make you forget you're in Toronto. Starters include all the traditional favorites: escargots in garlic butter, onion soup, steak tartare, and mussels. Featured main dishes run the gamut from steak frites to salade Nicoise with seared tuna. Daily specials are reliably good as well, and desserts are sublime – try chocolate ginger truffle tart with caramelized mangos. |
