Midi Bistro Restaurant

Food was ok, service was great, probably wont visit again probably.

Went for dinner for our first night in Toronto and we were not disappointed.

We had a goats cheese salad. It's done differently to what you'd get in France, but was really really good. The vinaigrette was somehow really light and tasty.

We had the steak and chicken main courses, which were also very good, followed by an amazing Tarte Tatin for desert.

You can get some wine by 0.5 l , which is really great for 2 people.

We were recommended a red wine which we loved.

Great restaurant for French cuisine. Wasn't very busy at all on a weeknight. They have pretty good pasta and steak, and have many options for mussels. The atmosphere & decor almost remind me of an 1800s escape room.

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!

Good food at the cozy cute restaurant. Good atmosphere, friendly and great service!! Chose Summerisious menu. It was delicious. Perfect size

A mediocre French bistro, very quiet especially on a Saturday evening, escargot was tasty and creamy, frites were very crispy and served hot, but the lamb shank was a reheat with part of the meat totally over-cooked and dry. Prix fixe menu was very extensive, good selection of sauces for the mussels in the regular menu.

Winterlicious 2023 is back for another season and Midi Bistro is one of those places you can count on to have a great meal anytime.

Dinner costs $45 now but is still a good deal and your money well spent mainly because of their superb food, service and ambience.

Went out with two of my friends and so we get to try different dishes:

Appetizers:
Sautéed Escargots with Portobello Mushroom - this is a rich and delectable appetizer. It's cooked in cognac and basil cream sauce and you can soak up the creamy goodness with the complimentary bread they provided you. And let me tell you they tasted silky and divine!

Pate de Campagne with Toast & Gherkins - the pate is more on the coarse and rustic type and portion is generous. Comes with a side salad and baguette.

Spicy Crab Cakes - crab cakes are really tasty and spicy. The touch of heat adds a flavourful twist to the classic crab cake. But I wish they would have given more instead of only 2 crab cakes. This is my fave out of all the 3 apps and 10/10 would order this again.

Main Dish:
Braised Lamb Shank - find it a tad dry and a bit overcooked, this is my least fave dish. There's also a pronounced gamey flavour with the lamb shanks.

8 oz Striploin Steak - perfectly cooked juicy steak paired well with the mushroom brandy sauce.

Seafood Risotto - packed with different types of seafood, they give you a huge portion of this dish and it's so flavourful in every bite.

Dessert:
Creme Brûlée - crisp shell that shattered under your spoon exposing rich and smooth layer of custard beneath with just a hint of vanilla, this is a joy to eat.

Strawberry Cheesecake - this is the star of the show. Silky smooth and creamy classic cheesecake with delightful strawberry topping tastes as amazing as it looks.

Overall we had a great dining experience and special mention to our server, Sindhu who's very nice and friendly. And even though the place was packed, she
still manages to maintain a calm composure, smiling and welcoming people in the restaurant. Truly worthy of a praise!
