This is one for lovers of classic bistros: the loud, jovial room is dominated on one side by a bar that’s lined two deep with Annexites glugging Les Jamelles. Service is swift, and the food—reverential recreations of the canon—won’t surprise an old-school francophile. It’s all good: the escargots with mushrooms come well buttered and garlicky, and the antipasto platter for two (or four is more like it) is freighted with grilled squid, zucchini and peppers, off-the-shelf cheeses and a decent salami. The sweetbreads with madeira and porcinis are nicely done; fish could use a defter touch. An affordable wine list focuses on French bottlings (and not always the LCBO usuals), with mostly worthwhile detours into the New World; desserts are good if numbingly predictable (crème brûlée and company). The upstairs patio is gorgeous. Mains $21–$28.
