An Uncut Gem
It's a small bistro restaurant not far from AGO. Nothing posh or fancy, but extremely nice and friendly service and great food with more than reasonable prices.
Home-Made Pork and Chicken Liver Pâté with Gherkins was good, but another appetizer - Sautéed Escargots with Portobello mushroom in Cognac & Basil cream sauce - is simply fantastic! It's much better than standard butter & garlic recipe for escargots, that I cannot compare to any other even much more expensive restaurants in GTA.
With steamed mussels we made a mistake - we selected "Marinière" white wine sauce. The dinner size is 2 lbs of mussels, but the sauce was far from perfect. Top Sirloin steak was done perfectly medium rare as we ordered it. I mentioned that I don't eat fries and got fresh salad instead.
Crème Brûlée was above average, but Cinnamon Ice Cream was fabulous and it was a great addition to crème brulee. Americano was bold. And the service was absolutely amazing.
If you want to have a delicious feast for a very budget price, Midi Bistro is just for you!

It's a nice little restaurant on Baldwin Street. It's not a fancy place, but it has a great value.
Good and quick service.
Spicy PEI mussels can be cooked in no spicy way as per customer's request, and the dish is very good.
The grilled salmon is a simple dish that requires a lot of mastery to overcome all the competition. The chef at Cafe Le Gaffe does that. The balsamic vinegar glaze really add interesting notes to the taste. Although, veggies on the side were exactly the same as for the steak. But you cannot anticipate different side dishes at such price range, thus, I'm OK with that.
The steak was good as well as deserts - we had a Creme Brulee and a lemon cheesecake with refreshingly sour raspberry jam.
I would highly recommend this place, especially for their grilled salmon and mussels
