Warm wood lends the intimate front room a more relaxed mood than the grandeur of the main salon. It’s an apt setting for chef-patron Didier Leroy’s classically conceived, meticulously presented French food. Many dishes are admirably simple. Salad hollandaise offers a generous slab of balik salmon topped with Canadian sturgeon caviar set beside one delicately sliced fingerling potato. Tender roasted Cornish hen wrapped in flavourful prosciutto works beautifully with soft red rice and a subtly tangy sauce diable. Desserts are among Toronto’s best: quivering chocolate gelée in strawberry consommé garnished with halved cherries, their “stones” carved from peach. There are as many Ontario bargains as French gems on the wine list. Prix fixe $58.
