La Palette - Toronto, Ontario

Just WOW WOW WOW!!! Amazing staff, incredible food, lovely list of wine! Unpretentious setting yet food is worthy of the best french restaurants. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!

Certainly! Here's a refined version of your review: --- My boyfriend and I celebrated our 2-year anniversary at this restaurant, and the food was excellent. We tried the chef's special pork, served medium rare, though I can't recall the French name. It was a solid 4.5/5 for me—slightly heavy on the salt, ... but the pork itself was outstanding and didn't need much seasoning. The salmon belly appetizer was decent, but the highlight was the horse steak. Despite the 6oz portion being too small for my liking, the meat was exceptional. It had a unique nutty and aromatic flavor, possibly from the chef's seasonings or the natural taste of horse meat itself. It's a must-try! The ambience of the place was 100% and we had a pleasant server. Read more

Came here twice and overall nothing but good things to say. The food is always top notch. Duck confit is amazing, has such a nice crisp on the skin.

Really great date spot with a romantic atmosphere and not that loud. I thoroughly enjoyed the steak frites, the horse was tender, cooked perfectly and was topped with a delicious ramp butter. Rare is the way to go. The waiter was responsive and knew the menu well. I usually don't ... like fries with my food, but these were amazing and perfectly crispy. The duck confit with couscous was well executed for what it is but I don't think it's my personal preference as the meat is more stringy than a steak. The steak tartare is well seasoned and mixed; its pickle flavour would go better with rye bread or something more interesting than plain white, for the price. We went for drinks after and the bartender was lively and attentive. Read more

This is a cute spot to have some unique food you usually can’t find in Toronto. We got the horse steak frites which was cooked perfectly rare and came with a delicious ramp butter. The frites also had a great crunch to it. I did find it a little weird ... that the mayo for the frites came on a wonton spoon. The duck confit had a crispy skin which was really good, but the couscous it came with I felt like didn’t match the dish that well since it had a seaweed-esque taste to it. Service was very friendly and took the time to describe the specials and the horse meat. We also came back for the bar later that night for some drinks and the beef tartare and the bartender was awesome and attentive. Read more
