My mother and I drive out of our way to go to this charming restaurant. Having lived in Paris, France myself for a couple of years, it is a pleasure to find excellent onion soup and authentic French crepes that are made to order. When my mother and I were searching for a place to eat in Bronte one night, I didn't want to go into this restaurant because I do not like typical crepes....the heavy, creamy sauce kind....but these are light, cooked on both sides (hence the extra wait that you do not have in fast food restaurants) and filled with the most awesome salad you have ever tasted! The service is warm and genuine, and the food is "have to go back" as opposed to "maybe some day I will be back". The bloody Caesar's are excellent. (on the hot spicy side) This restaurant is one of my top three in Toronto.
The food was fantastic. Authentic french fare. Never had a french onion soup that came close to this. The dessert crepes had a beautiful presentation and tasted even better than they looked with home made whipped cream. Service was typical french service, they love to talk to you, everything is made fresh, and they even tell you on the menu that it will take a little longer. Well worth it.
Was attracted by the quaint French atmosphere, however everything else was a disappointment. Service was slow and when our orders were taken, the waiter was impatient and unnecessarily brusque with my father, who is hard-of-hearing. Everything on the menu is made with Swiss cheese, which I don't care for, and when I asked if I could substitute mozzarella, I was told rather abruptly, absolutely not, Swiss cheese only. I therefore ordered the Caesar salad. It was prettily presented when it finally came, but was virtually inedible as it was heavily salted and dressed with very dry, poor quality parmesan cheese, and the croutons were of a very poor, obviously pre-prepared quality. My father ordered coffee, and was given a cup of hot water and a package of instant crystals, which I have never, ever experienced even in the most basic diner. When the bill came it was excessive at $32.00 and the tip had already been added. Will never go back there.

Hello there, it's almost been 10 years, you should give us another try. Lot's of great changes have happened, we now have 5 different cheeses available and yes we also still have swiss. All of our produce or locally sourced and organic, our coffee is of high quality coffee beans ground finely and served in a french press. Hope to see you soon! Mikael
Authentic French bistro. Food is made & served by owners. Decor is a little tacky, but that's part of character. Awesome food. French onion soup is the best we've ever had. Spilt a crepe between us. Love it!
A wonderful, quaint little restaurant with superb food. The French onion soup is excellent, and the dinner crepes are to die for. If you have a party of two you probably want to split an entree so you can leave room for the desert crepes. If you are in a hurry this is not the place for you as everything is made to order. The owners do all the cooking and serving, and go out of their way to make you comfortable. One of a kind in Oakville, you should really give it a try!
