Details & Description
This culinary jewel perched inconspicuously in a residential neighbourhood on the lip of the Toronto cityscape is remarkable for lots of reasons, not the least of which is the impeccable service and French fusion delectables on the menu. Much-fussed-over menu staples at this longtime Yorkville standard include the squeaky buffalo mozzarella, tangy ravioli and homemade coconut cream pie. Everything, from the most sweetly simple to the most ambitious dish, is truly spectacular. Complimentary amuse-bouches deliver you from taste to taste. Get a seat by the window. more...

I have longed to go to Scaramouche for years, and we were not disappointed. We needed gluten-free menu choices and wer assited by our server. The beef was cooked perfectly, vegetables crisp and lovely. We could not have any of the desserts on the menu so the server offered us fresh berries and a selection of sorbets...wondergul.

This was our third visit here in the last decade and a half. I do not understand why still all the hype for this place. Over 13 years ago, we had our first meal here, we absolutely loved it. Second meal was not as memorable. However, we decided to give it another chance for our anniversary. Now we find that portion size is miniscule and the flavours not so enticing. Is there a new chef running the kitchen? Our waiter was clueless. I specifically asked for decaffeinated tea with my dessert, as it was quite late in the evening. As I was pouring the hot water into the pot, my husband took a look at the cute box the teabag came from...luckily, he noticed that the waiter served me a caffeine-infused regular tea bag. I notified the clueless waiter and he took it away. I did not want another one. I was hoping that he would remove the cost of the $6.00 cup of tea (yes, that's right) from our bill. No, he did not, he still charged me for it and he was quite snooty when confronted with this oversight. He simply laughed and did not offer to remove it. Poor customer relations on his part. We let it go, why quibble over $6 when one is paying over $200 for a meal?! Moron. Patrons around our table were also complaining about the small portions and whispering that they were still hungry after their entrees. High prices that cover up a so-so meal and snooty waitstaff does not a great restaurant make. Perhaps, eliminating the bread server, the water pourer, the cutlery remover and extraneous staff would cut your overhead costs a bit. Thereby enabling your restaurant to serve slightly larger, tastier portions. We will not be returning to this pretentious place again. Don't waste your money, there are other fine dining establishments to enjoy in this city.

Always an excellent experience. Even though we did not get our requested table, nor our favorite waiter (Andrew) we still had an enjoyable time. Unfortunately, this particular Saturday was very busy and extremely noisy, for a long weekend! There was an unpleasant odor in the entire restaurant, somewhat musty...smelled like they may have had a flood.

The food, the atmostphere, the view: definitely a place to be seen and to go to pamper oneself. Perfect for a romantic evening for 2.

The stand out on Scaramouche’s dessert menu is the famous Coconut Cream Pie. The pastry holds smooth coconut custard, which is then topped with white chocolate shavings and dark chocolate sauce. If coconut isn’t you’re thing, there are lots of other options, like the Valrhona Chocolate Tart and the daily selection of house made ice creams.

Best Toronto restaurants to celebrate women chefs

Chef Carolyn Reid has been at Scaramouche for over 20 years. She transforms simple ingredients into captivating, memorable meals. Just look at what went into this one dish: Pacific White Sturgeon ($45) - Lightly smoked and roasted. Herb spaetzle, roasted beets, pickled apple, black trumpet mushrooms and spinach. Horseradish white wine sauce, red wine jus and gremolata. If you’ve never been, go now; and if it’s been awhile, it’s time to go back.
