Le Swan

If you can cram yourself into one of the narrow booths at this restaurant right next to Trinity Bellwoods, you can stuff yourself with the "French diner" food on their menu like salad Nicoise, tuna melts and corn dogs.

Bicyclette

Quiches, tartines, sandwiches, soups, salades Nicoise and croque monsieurs are subtly sold out of this Harbord Village spot, so don't pass it by the next time you're in the area.

Maison Selby

If you've ever wondered what's in this old house near Sherbourne Station, it's actually a fancy French restaurant serving iconic dishes like coq au vin, boeuf bourguignon and steak frites plus a "French onion burger."

Sorrel

Escape to this French Mediterranean restaurant in Rosedale for that's been quietly impressive for years, with lots of pasta and fresh fish joining dishes like steak tartare and duck confit on the menu.
