I first came during Summerlicious 2024 and they weren't serving their regular menu, so I HAD to return to experience their tried & true dishes. We've dined indoors and in their outdoor covered patio - overall a romantic traditional space and I particularly liked that the patio was secluded with greenery, white glass framed windows, and had the sounds of the trickling small water fountain. We ordered some appies: -Escargot Tartan (interesting to try, texture and taste similar to a denser mushroom) -Stracciatella & Caviar (rich and creamy balanced with the salty bursts of caviar) -Pain au lait (the brioche was nice and fluffy) Mains: -Nova Scotia lobster linguine bisque (initially didn't look like there were a lot of lobster meat, but in between the pasta were some generous chunks) -Ribeye (I thought the potato tart component stood out with the textures!!) Then dessert: -Seasonal mille feuille (great, no notes) Overall - I felt like I was transported to a French upscale inn and would love to come back. Next time, we were recommended their foie gras, scallops & frog legs, and Sole Meunière (fish dish meant for 2 people where the server carves it in front of you - I did notice the fish appeared pretty small. Maybe an option if you wanted a lighter main) read more

That farmhouse setting is still what gives Auberge its charm. Standing at the entrance, the busy roads and office towers seem to disappear, replaced by a calm, almost country-like atmosphere. The dining room feels cozy yet elegant, and while the tables are a little closer together than expected for such a refined space, it somehow adds warmth rather than distraction. Comfort arrives immediately with the amuse-bouche - gougères filled with molten cheese and topped with a touch of ham. They're incredibly satisfying, yet surprisingly light despite the rich filling. If that's not enough indulgence, order the pain au lait ($16). Served piping hot, the soft buttery bread releases an intoxicating aroma that becomes even better slathered with cultured butter. It's the kind of bread that makes you accidentally eat far more than intended. After such a rich start, I expected the boeuf consommé ($30) to continue in the same comforting direction. Instead, the broth carried an unexpected acidity, perhaps from the smoked celeriac, that gave it a lighter feel. Alongside the raw squash and generous barley, the soup ended up feeling fresher than cozy. Thankfully, the short rib and caramelized onion raviolo was excellent: plump, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavour. The rib eye in the boeuf ($90) was the standout of the evening. Cooked to a beautiful medium rare, it was tender while still maintaining a lovely crust. Interestingly, the steak was cut thick and compact, almost resembling a tenderloin, yet still delivered the marbled richness that makes rib eye so satisfying. Every accompaniment worked well with it, from the sourdough crumble and pomme espuma to the pickled shallot gel, crunchy broccolini, and silky red wine jus. It's one of the better mains I've had at Auberge in years. At this point, I was stuffed (we may have had a second helping of pain au lait) so I sampled desserts from the rest of the table. The macarons ($25) are ideal for sharing, with six per order. The caramel flavour was denser than expected, though my fellow diners assured me the pistachio version was far superior. Auberge's cheese plate ($14 per oz) remains a popular option. Diners can choose from a selection of hard, soft, and blue cheeses, priced by weight. My husband selected a Beemster-style cheese that paired beautifully with honey, berry compote, and crostini. Simple, but very satisfying. Surprisingly, the restaurant was fairly quiet on our Friday night visit aside from a birthday celebration happening in the private dining room. The calmer atmosphere likely helped service shine. Something about Auberge feels more relaxed now. The dining room is brighter, tables are grouped closer together in the centre, and the overall vibe feels livelier and less stuffy than before. Our waiter joked comfortably with guests while still delivering polished service. At one point, a server even cut garlic bread into bite-sized pieces for a child at a neighbouring table without being asked. Small gestures like that say a lot. read more

Auberge has been on my list for a while and finally made a visit during Winterlicous. It was really challenging to get a table on short notice for Saturday dinner. It seems like they are booked out but we gave them a call and they were able to squeeze us in for 5:15pm reservation on Saturday. Underground parking available and they validate it even if you come a bit earlier than your reservation. I love the charming little house exterior and warm country charm interiors. I ordered their salade de lyonnaise, lamb sirloin and chocolate torte. All were good. Though my friend couldn't have any alcohol and the lamb had a red wine sauce, instead they gave her some kind of reduction or au jus sauce with her lamb and it was absolutely delicious, way better than the actual sauce that came with our lamb and beef mains. We ended up using some of her sauce for our dishes too. I also tried the leek soup and pork terrine appetizers, which was also good though I especially liked the salad with the egg on top. The desserts are probably the highlight of my meal. I love the chocolate torte I had at the end and also tasted the apple tarte which was also great. I think for the Winterlicious menu, the quality of desserts are certainly better than other spots I've had. We also enjoyed the drinks, I had a lychee mocktail and my table had some wine and spanish coffee and decaf cappuccino which was also good. The staff was very attentive though my friend, while she told the staff she doesn't have a shrimp allergy she just didn't want shrimp in her soup. Somehow it was served with it but they did later corrected it, which is all good just a minor hiccup. Probably better to just have us eat it for her than bother with the changes. read more

Auberge du Pommier stands as a beacon of authenticity in Toronto's fine dining landscape, a sanctuary where classical French gastronomy flourishes with refined restraint. This intimate establishment presents a culinary narrative grounded in tradition--duck, foie gras, and pristine tartare executed with technical precision that speaks to the kitchen's genuine respect for ingredient and technique. The dining environment envelops guests in understated elegance; the restaurant's urbane sophistication is enhanced by thoughtful service that balances attentiveness with discretion. The wine program merits particular commendation, offering a curated selection spanning from reliable house selections to exceptional vintage discoveries. While the execution remains commendable, there remains room for seasonal flexibility in the menu composition. The kitchen would benefit from occasional adjustments that honor the demands of summer's lighter palate, ensuring that even masterfully prepared offerings remain seasonally appropriate. Minor inconsistencies in protein preparation suggest an opportunity for enhanced vigilance at the pass. Yet these measured observations pale against the restaurant's considerable strengths: a commitment to classical French technique, impeccable service, and an atmosphere of genuine hospitality. Auberge du Pommier represents the disciplined pursuit of culinary excellence--a destination for those seeking authentic French dining executed with conviction and grace. read more

Had dinner here on their beautiful patio. Service was friendly and attentive throughout the evening. The food was beautifully presented, with rich flavours and thoughtful details in every dish. Given the price point, it's not an everyday spot, but if you're looking for something special or taking advantage of Summerlicious, it's a great time to go. read more

If you want to feel like you're in France without leaving the city, head to Auberge for a meal. We went to try their Summerlicious menu, because honestly, it's the only way we could swing a three-course meal here (yeah, it's a little pricey). Overall, we were happy with what we had, though we were left wanting just a bit more. We started with the soup and chicken liver parfait one each for the two of us. Honestly, the parfait wasn't for me. It just didn't suit my palate (or my nose). But the mains didn't disappoint. Both the cod and the steak were solid, but the real stars of the meal were the cocktail and dessert. The gin, hibiscus, and elderflower cocktail was incredibly refreshing. Like a breath of fresh air on a summer day. The desserts were excellent too. My favourite was the lemon tart: perfectly balanced and beautifully done, with a touch of raspberry inside. Their outdoor patio is gorgeous, and the service is exactly what you'd expect from a fine dining spot. read more

We went for summerlicious lunch and right off the bat we we informed that parking is not covered for lunch (only dinner) which is so stupid for an uptown place. Another $21 x 2 (people in my party) Overall the meal was so-so. Taste was good (with the exception of the cod). But portion sizes was very small and not great value. The cod tasted like frozen fish and was very fishy so that was a disappointment for sure. Service was average in the sense we had to search for our server many times. TBH every time we have come here the experience is so-so and this is no exception and add parking costs for lunch and I have to take my 3 star to 2 star. read more

Auberge du Pommier represents best-in-class service, atmosphere, and above all, food quality and presentation. For a party of 19 people, we had a post-elopement private dining experience that was reasonably priced, in a gorgeous private Sophie room, and was easily accessible for my mobility-challenges guests that needed convenient access (without stairs) to and from the bathroom. I'm especially impressed by how well Michael (our lead wait staff) handled our constant stream of requests. The night went off without issues in a large part due to his proactive efforts, checking in with guests, and making sure everyone (myself and my wife included) had a splendid and memorable time (which we did!). I'd come here again, and I urge anyone who has the opportunity to book this place to do so without hesitation. They've been courteous, respectful, and an incredibly important part of my celebration. Parking can be annoying if you have a tall car - the underground parking lot (validation is free on weekends after 5:30pm!) has a height restriction of 1.7m so tall trucks cannot park in here. The Sophie room (where we had our private dining) had an incredibly intimate vibe to it; even without a "view", it was still an extraordinary dining experience. read more

Been wanting to try Auberge for a while as it is a staple in the city. We got a beautiful little corner table and service was excellent. However, I was surprised to see that the menu was just a typical French restaurant menu that was not even adjusted to the summer- especially a summer being so hot, who would order lamb, duck or fois gras? Anyway, the salad was humongous and quite delicious. Had the fish but was sort of disappointed. Heavy, and was overcooked. At the end of the night, the server gave us special treats, which is always sweet. The patio looked amazing and if I were to ever trek up here again, I'd want to sit there. A nice spot for a business lunch or dinner I think. read more

This was a truly disappointing experience and the only restaurant where we had to send a dish back. I had high expectations for this place--it's a well-known, long-established French restaurant that I had even recommended to my friends before visiting. The ambiance is elegant and refined, and my friend mentioned that many people choose this venue for weddings and birthday celebrations. The service was impeccable, with attention to detail--one notable touch was how the server personally placed the napkin on our laps upon seating. Soupe aux Champignons et Oignons (Mushroom and Onion Soup) A completely uninspired dish--just a bowl of soup with no additional ingredients. The flavor and preparation were so monotonous that it was hard to believe a restaurant of this caliber would serve something that tasted like canned soup from the supermarket. The roasted mushroom oil only added to the greasiness of the already heavy cream-based soup, rather than enhancing the flavor. Salade Frisée (Frisée Salad) The vinaigrette was overwhelming--my friend described it as having an intense white vinegar taste, making it unbearably sour. We ended up returning it and replacing it with beef tartare, which, though also quite acidic, was at least enjoyable for my friend. Terrine de Canard (Duck Terrine) A classic preparation of cherry sherry jelly layered over a smooth, mousse-like duck terrine. The terrine itself was rich and velvety, but the jelly added little to the dish--it was the charred aroma of the toasted bread that stood out the most. While technically well-executed, the dish wasn't particularly exciting. Bœuf Bourguignon (Burgundy Red Wine Braised Beef) This was the dish I was most looking forward to, yet the result tasted almost identical to the version I make at home. The beef was tender, infused with a robust wine flavor, and the ingredients were well-defined with an enticing color. However, the sauce had been strained out for the sake of presentation, which was a real letdown. The only standout twist was the addition of mustard seeds. Farfalle (Bowtie Pasta) A surprisingly enjoyable pasta dish--the natural sweetness of pumpkin purée paired beautifully with the nutty aroma. It ended up being more popular at our table than the beef. Marmite Dieppoise (Dieppe-Style Seafood Stew) A dish that was rich in flavor but not overly heavy, with plenty of umami depth. Leeks played a key role in enhancing the taste, giving the dish a well-balanced, layered quality. This is the kind of dish that has a high floor--it was well-executed, but not particularly memorable. Apple Tarte Tatin The caramelized apple tart had a distinct hawthorn-like flavor, with just the right level of sweetness--any more would have been overpowering. Interestingly, the nutmeg ice cream stole the show. At first, I mistook it for ginger-flavored ice cream, but it had a unique and intriguing taste that stood out more than the tart itself. Tarte au Citron (Lemon Tart) A standard, by-the-book presentation--nothing remarkable. Torte au Chocolat (Chocolate Cake) A complete disappointment--the texture was far too dry, crumbling into powdery bits with every cut. Not recommended. Overall Impression The menu lacked standout dishes and felt uninspired, failing to convey any real craftsmanship or passion from the chef. While the service was excellent--the staff not only replaced our overly acidic salad for free but also removed it from the bill--I was highly dissatisfied with the food itself. From a culinary perspective, I'd attribute at least 80% of the negative experience to the chef. However, if you're simply looking for an elegant French restaurant to check off your list or have a date night, this place does offer a refined and upscale setting. Just don't expect the food to be the highlight. read more

Auberge du Pommier - French Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We came here on a weekday evening earlier this month to celebrate a friend's birthday. The place looked pretty fancy from the entrance. Since it was just three of us girls and we don't eat a lot, we went with 3 appetizers, 2 mains, and 2 desserts. They first served us some crispy potatoes and honestly, they were amazing, super crunchy outside with a creamy sauce inside. For appetizers, we had the Huîtres, which were alright. The Foie Gras Vol-au-Vent surprised me though. I'm usually not a fan of foie gras because of the strong taste, but this one was really smooth and went nicely with the chanterelle mushrooms. My favorite starter was definitely the Tartare de Bœuf. The crunchy brioche with the beef and a touch of shiso leaf made it so refreshing. For mains, we tried the Gnocchis Parisienne. The sauce was nice with a pine nut flavor, but I'm not really into gnocchi, so it felt just okay to me. Even my friend who usually loves gnocchi thought this one wasn't as special as the starters. The other main, the 5oz Striploin, was much better, tender and almost melt-in-your-mouth. Desserts were a highlight. They surprised us with an extra little cake and even gave my friend a pretty birthday card, which was such a sweet touch. We ordered the soft cheese with honey, light but tasty. The apple-shaped cake was super photogenic, and inside it had apple compote so it wasn't overly sweet. Overall, the staff were friendly and explained each dish, the vibe was classy but still chill enough to hang out and chat, and prices were more reasonable than other French spots. Definitely a nice place to celebrate or treat yourself to something a bit fancy. read more

Came here for summerlicious lunch. We choose the patio. Nice romantic place inside. Food is Ok, I find the bread starter expensive for $12. We thought it's free while waiting for the mains. (Maybe it's free if not summerlicious). Staff friendly and nice. Parking is not Free. read more

My husband and I are disappointed with the portions. The beef consommé was a rip-off. What a shame to serve such a small portion. There was so little of it that it couldn't even have been served as an appetizer!!! It felt like a joke. The dishes we ordered were quite good, however, the portions of vegetables that came with them were ridiculously insufficient. Second rip-off! I don't understand what the owner of this restaurant has in mind... Doesn't he understand that instead of attracting customers, this kind of action will drive them away?? Is it even necessary to specify that we will not be coming back, despite the pleasant terrace and the flavor of some of the dishes. read more

My friends and I came in for their Summerlicious lunch menu. Service was excellent since it is fine dining. We did have to wait to order for a while, but once we ordered everything came out perfectly timed. My favourite was the appetizer. The perfect summer soup dish.

Great service, great ambiance, great food! My fiancée and I are big lovers of French cuisine. Unfortunately there aren't many options in the York Region area, so imagine how ecstatic we were to try Auberge du Pommier in North York! This restaurant offers both a tasting and an a-la-carte menu. While the former sounded delicious, my fiancée and I opted for the a-la-carte so we could try more flavours between the two of us - the value! We got the oysters (Huîtres), the pan-fried scallops (Noix de Saint-Jacques Poêlées) and the fois gras (Foie Gras Poêlé) for our appetizers, sea bream (Daurade) and duck (Canard) for mains, and a crème brûlée and soufflé for dessert. Each dish was beautiful to look at, which made us want to dive in immediately even more. Our favourites of the night definitely were the scallops and the sea bream, both of which were full of natural sweetness by themselves. The accompanying ingredients helped elevate the seafood, which were perfectly cooked. I personally loved the crispy skin on the sea bream, which was smokey and fragrant, but not burnt. Close seconds include the savoury duck against a sweet, fruity orange sauce and the melt-in-your mouth soufflé special. Actually, I take that back - all dishes were absolutely stunning. They're bit on the expensive side, but worth every dollar honestly. I can't not talk about the impeccable service at Auberge, which was by far one of the most attentive and friendly experiences we've had at the restaurants. We were celebrating a special occasion that night, and our waiter brought out a cute card + complimentary chocolate sweets to commemorate the moment. It was definitely an unexpected but appreciated gesture. I can't wait to come back and try the tasting menu the next time! read more

We stopped by for lunch and was delightfully surprised to find that they haven't just maintained their high service standards, they've exceeded them. Outside of Michelin-starred establishments, it is rare to find such a genuine, personalized level of care. The service felt authentic and spontaneous, never robotic. We experienced an extremely minor glitch with our bread order, and the team rectified it immediately (literally within two seconds). Their service recovery was so seamless it actually turned into a delightful surprise. Throughout our meal, several other small acts of kindness further elevated the experience. Even on a busy weekday, the restaurant was humming with a great atmosphere. At the next table, a guest asked her companion where the restroom was. A server overheard and, without missing a beat, she stepped in to escort the patron. That is the definition of intuitive service. Our server, Chad, and the entire team were simply amazing.For the food, as always, the meal was delicious. Of note: They validate underground parking for dinner, though it isn't standard practice for lunch. read more

During the Thanksgiving long weekend, the weather was nice and I really wanted to treat myself. Therefore, I booked lunch at the Auberge du Pommier restaurant that afternoon. This is my third visit to the Auberge du Pommier restaurant. The first time was Winterlicious and the second time was Mother's Day brunch. Since the weather was nice that day, I decided to sit outside. Their outdoor patio is designed in a way to make you feel like in the French countryside. My two previous visits are having their tasting menu. Therefore, I decided to order from their À LA CARTE lunch menu and this is where things shine. Bread and Butter: The bread is great but not the highlight. It is the butter that impressed me. If I recall correctly, the server told me their butter is sourced from a local farm and I was able to taste the differences. Plus, the butter temperature is well-controlled and smooth. Just by looking at the butter, you can tell Auberge du Pommier is very attentive to details. Pâté en Croûte: The taste of this dish is so authentic, that it makes me feel like dining in Paris. In simple terms, the Pâté en Croûte chicken flavor is further enhanced by the whipped mustard. Then the pickles make the chicken taste less heavy (if I described this correctly). This is a perfect traditional French appetizer that I truly love. Crêpe: I was expecting a classic French breakfast-style crepe with the duck egg in the middle and ham / cheese on the side. Instead, the crepe is folded and the poached duck egg is placed on the top with arugula surrounding it. The crepe is still very tasty and the poached duck egg is cooked perfectly. Crème Brûlée: The perfect classic French dessert for ending this wonderful meal. The Auberge du Pommier restaurant chef has mastered the Crème Brûlée. The top layer is well caramelized and crisp. The inner creamy vanilla egg custard is not too sweet and silky smooth. Comparable to the Crème Brûlée I had in Paris. Overall, the food is excellent, the outdoor patio atmosphere is relaxing, and the service is phenomenal (better than many Toronto five-star hotels). This is the perfect place to treat yourself and your family. I will definitely order from the À LA CARTE in my future visit. read more

Visited Auberge du Pommier for a Summerlicious lunch (three courses at $55 -- really good deal!). This place has rustic decor and a cozy ambiance. We were seated promptly, and the place filled quickly and remained bustling throughout our visit till we headed out around 1pm. Unfortunately, the service was slightly overbearing, with staff persistently asking us to order drinks. even after we declined alcohol we were asked about juice three times. Guess they need to maximize profits somewhere? I chose beef tartare, steelhead trout, and panna cotta. The food was served at an adequate pace. The tartare was fresh, well-seasoned, and offered a delightful contrast in textures, with hazelnuts and bread crisps providing a satisfying crunch. The trout was cooked to perfection. Its generous portion paired excellently with mushrooms and a lemony sauce. The panna cotta was tasty, though the spoons provided were a bit comically big for the serving cup's unique design, making it challenging to scoop the delicate dessert. I would visit again, but I do prefer the regular dining experience over the Summerlicious one. If this had not been Summerlicious, I would have given 3 stars. read more

Finally got to try the tasting menu at this restaurant. The main seating area is below grade almost in the cellar of the house. The wiring of the house was causing one of the lights to flicker, we were promptly moved when requested. We got the tasting menu with a wine pairing. The tasting menu was a 7 course meal and I was stuffed by the end of it. I like how the menu items revolved around seasonal produce. One of my favourite dishes of the meal was the Risotto at Oignon Vert as it was a unique and still very tasty! The wines also paired very well with the food, I love tasting the effects of the wine on the food and vice versa. read more

I went here during winterlicious and had some expectations since the place had been there for a while with some recognition. Things that we ordered were these: Starter - Pain au Lait, Salade Lyonnaise, Terrine de Canard Main - Beouf Dessert - Baba au Rhum, Tarte au citron The starters were okay, but given the price, they were underwhelming. The bread was fresh and well-cooked, and the salad was decent, but we could have had better. The most problematic dish was our main. The beouf was very tiny portioned and the sides were at best mediocre. Not to mention we had a plastic in between the layer of potato but that wasn't the worst part. All the components of the dish were bland and the sides were cold. It was just not it I would just go to keg for a better steak and side. Dessert was fine. You can't go wrong with tarte au Citron. The only person who held it up during our course was the pastry chef. I can't tell that the dish's quality would be the same for a la carte. However, I believe winterlicious is a showcase of their restaurant and I can't tell they don't want us back. For the overall ambiance was alright if I phrase it nicely I would say it's classic but not the best I have seen. read more

Summerlicious menu is disappointing. Lacks flavour and service started out good but ended up terrible. Would not go back, Steak was not seared and lacked flavour in the sauce, and they served it with what seemed to be frozen waffle fries?? Cocktails were okay, not for $18 worth. Salmon tartar lacked flavour and salt. Would not go back even for regular menu based on this experience. read more

The food was okay. The fish was a little overcooked. The dessert was underwhelming. The ambiance was nice, but the AC was really cold where we were sitting. The table next to us also brought up that it was really cold. The server acknowledged both of our tables but it continued to be cold. read more

Auberge du Pommier is always offering good quality french cuisine, this time it didn't disappointed us. The quality is as good as before and service is excellent too.

The only thing is that there is construction on the site which kinda blocked the door. read more

A true gastronomic experience awaits at this long-standing French restaurant, opened since 1987. One of my favourite establishments in the city. The restaurant achieves the holy trinity for me which is unparalleled service, elevated cuisine and a charming atmosphere. Generally, patrons come here for a special occasion. While dining, there were several birthdays and a wedding dinner taking place. Everything was sublime, from the lavish cocktails, to the artfully presented dessert. The coquilles st Jacques was decadent, the chicken special was indeed a special experience (in the best way possible), the dessert was another highlight of the experience. Come here for a memorable time. read more

My first visit to Auberge du Pommier was roughly 8 years ago for Summerlicious. All I remember from that experience was how amazing the food was and that the filet mignon changed my perception of how steak should be prepared. Fast forward a few years and I finally got an opportunity to visit again, this time for my birthday! Free parking is available in the evenings in the neighbouring office underground carpark. The wait staff will help validate the parking ticket as you leave. For appetizers we ordered the Buratta app to share. Complimentary smoked fish (I believe mackeral?) was provided just before the Buratta app arrived. The buratta came with seasonal spices and nutty flavours that paired really well with the creamy buratta. All the textures played together well and was light enough to still have appetite and room for the entree. For drinks, we had a glass of champagne and the Bijoux Bijoux cocktail that were both great and classy. We both ordered the boeuf entree which was a bacon wrapped beef tenderloin served in a beef jus and sides of parsley carrots and truffle croquettes. The beef was so tender and as amazing as I remembered years ago. The richness of the jus and smokiness of the bacon were just phenomenal and urged me to just want to pick it up and chomp down. The carrots were nice but nothing extraordinary, however the truffle croquettes were so crispy and umami with the amount of truffle flavour seaping through. The entree as a whole was unforgettable. Even though we were stuffed, to wrap up the occasion we also ordered a creme brulee and a cappuccino. The cappuccino was pretty standard but don't expect barista grade microfoam. The creme brulee was served with mixed berries and did the classic dessert great justice. The wait staff were also kind enough to make sure the plating said happy birthday with a candle on it! Overall, the restaurant lived up to my first impressions and wowed me with the food once again. The meal was definitely on the much pricier side, so if the budget allows, I'd highly recommend Auberge du Pommier for a special occassion or a fancy date night! read more

We came as a party of 4 for the "Summerlicious" dinner menu. This was our second time at Auberge, having attended last winter. We were graciously served by Chad, who did a phenomenal job making us feel welcomed and appreciated. His recommendations and pairings were outstanding, and I cannot thank him enough for creating a fantastic atmosphere. I started with the Jambon & Fromage, a very interesting and flavourful combination, especially with the walnut butter, a nice little starter. The main course was the Boeuf, which I recommend. Tender, flavourful, beautifully presented. The accompaniments were well thought out, and the potato terrine (pave) was delicious. For dessert we had the lemon buttermilk cake with blueberries and buttermilk ice cream. Members of our party had other options which they also enjoyed immensely. Overall the food was well presented, well explained and downright delicious. Thank you for the fantastic evening, and we will certainly be coming back! read more

Auberge du Pommier - Boeuf - French Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Overall experience was 10/10 from the service to the food, it truly was spectacular. Our server, Andrew, was super nice and knowledgeable. He knew the menu well and was able to provide us with suggestions. We very much appreciated his recommendations and they were all top notch. I started with the foie gras which I was a bit afraid would be heavy, but to my surprise it was well balanced. It came paired with a honey roasted pear. Every bite of it was perfect. For entree, I went with the fish. I heard sablefish was similar to black cod, so I wanted to try it. Although it wasn't anything like black cod, I was still very happy with the dish. The fish was buttery and cooked perfectly. I wasn't crazy about the fennel that the sablefish rested on though, but I think that's personal preference. I am not a fan of fennel! The portion sizes were just right. I half expected to leave with room in my tummy for McDonald's afterwards but I left with a very full and happy belly. I ordered the cheese plate for dessert. It came with a selection of 3 cheeses. I was very surprised that I was given a menu with 7 different cheeses to choose from. I looked to our server Andrew for his expertise and he helped me choose based on my preference for salty and stinky lol At the end of our meal, I requested to see the cheese menu again so that I could take a picture and remember my new favourite cheese, the tête de moines. Instead, Andrew went and got the cheese out and gave me an informative demonstration! He even gifted me a piece of cheese to take home since I loved it so much. I really felt like our experience was elevated by the service and this meal I got to share with my sister was 100% worth it in my opinion. Thank you everyone at Auberge du Pommier for taking such great care of us! read more

Serene, romantic setting. I see why it's a popular restaurant to exchange vows. We came here for winterlicious 2020 as I've been wanting to try a fancy French restaurant for a while. The portions were excellent and I left stuffed. Table Bread was a delicious ciabatta. I had to stop myself from continually accepting more. Starter: the celeriac soup was traditional, creamy fare. My partner had the goat cheese spring mix. Both were standard. Main: halibut with sweet potatoe and carrot in a butter sauce. Again, standard fair. My partner had the sirloin and liked it. Mashed potatoes were super creamy. Dessert : chocolate cake. Undersweetened which i appreciate. We also had the cheesecake tart which was the best part of the meal because it was smooth almost like mousse and not dense cream cheese. Drinks: I had the non alcoholic fig and sage sparkling which was delicious 5/5. My partners berry sparkler was too sweet. Overall food is 3/5 because it's really nothing special but the service was excellent so I gave an extra star. read more

I had a work event here and was just blown away at how charming this restaurant is. The exterior and interior of this restaurant would remind you of a fancy countryside inn in France. The food was top notch! I was incredibly delighted by the truffle potatoes. The old fashioned French style service was icing on the cake! I would highly recommend this restaurant for a romantic night out. read more

An extra special place for an extra special occasion. Venison dish was my favourite, followed by their mini brownies and beef tartare was delicious! Other items pictured: Pâté en Croûte (the one that looks like a slice of bread with meat on the inside) Veal with mushroom mousse and paper-thin delicious chip Complimentary rainbow trout sashimi on a rice chip, an introductory palate cleanser Other highlights: - LINDA. She is the best and my favourite staff, and she knows! She's so fun and friendly, like Awkwafina (Linda self proclaimed "the Asian Ellen" - but not the controversy/before the controversy). To my surprise, she was just featured on their Instagram page and I found out she's one of the newest members of the Auberge du Pommier team! They are incredibly lucky to have her! -Andrew. Great server! -the sparkling water. I don't like bubble water normally, but there's was very lightly bubbly and both my boyfriend and I kept asking for more! -Dogs. They have accents all over the restaurants of different breeds of dogs in their decorations and I was a big fan If you've read this far, you can probably tell I'm not a regular at this $$$$ restaurant. My boyfriend Matt surprised me with reservations for our "one month" anniversary (we've been dating for much longer). I had mentioned this to one of the staff, and she must've thought I meant one month "wedding" anniversary. The restaurant was extremely kind and gifted us complimentary desserts of spiced madeleine's with bite sized mouth watering brownies with a delicious milk chocolate that was melted and spelled out "Happy Marriage Anniversary" in French, haha. Matt and I will surely return after we get married, haha. Thanks team at Auberge to Pommier! You made this such a wonderful and memorable night for us! Will see you again when I'm a Mrs's ;) read more

Been wanting to check out this restaurant for awhile now after hearing the great reviews from friends. Came here during Winterlicious and was amazed by both the food and service. For appetizer I ordered the Saumon which contained dill-cured salmon, textures of beet, buttermilk, and pumpernickel. Flavours all worked well together and was a great bite to start the meal off. For entree I got the Boeuf dish. The beef was seasoned well but was a bit more overcooked than I like. The leeks and mash potatoes tasted good and complimented the beef well. For dessert I got the Cheesecake Tart. The tart shell was too hard and made it difficult to eat. Flavours were good and had a good cheesecake taste. Overall was very satisfied with the food and service. A must place to visit for Winterlicious or Summerlicious. read more

Went for summerlicious so let's get straight to the point: 1. Appetizer: I got the chilled soup and my friend got the foie gras pressed chicken with Riesling jelly. The shrimp on the top is one of the best bite of shrimp I have EVER had in my life. It was a little charred outside but it is cold, amazing flavor combo. The Riesling jelly is very very nice, but I heard the presses chicken foie gras is very cheesy, so if u don't like milky creamy flavor, don't get it 2. Entree: I got the steak and my friend got the fish. The portion at this place is just:---- I would just say that they r just way too fine dining, u won't feel full, not even near full. I enjoyed my steak dish but the portion is just pathetic, I know I'm paying less for this fine dining during summerlicious but this is just sad 3. Dessert: I got the chocolate tart and my friend got the blueberry cake. THEY R BOTH SO FUCKIN GOOD. I teared up after I ate the blueberry cake, the blueberry sauce, the soft af chiffon cake and the crisp, it is just DREAMY. I would def come back just for the dessert!!!! Service: I would say it is pretty good, it is kinda hard to get hold of our waiter tho. read more

Winterlicious dinner included a 3-course meal for $53. We were all pleased with our choices of appetizer, main course and dessert. The restaurant has several separate rooms. That keeps the noise level down. The atmosphere and decor are very nice. Service was excellent including attentive staff who checked in periodically to make sure all our needs were met. Some fine dining establishments make the guests feel guilty for not ordering alcohol. This isn't one of them. The parking signage leaves something to be desired. The above ground parking is free but who knows which spots are for the restaurant and which are for the neighbouring office building. The underground parking isn't free or validated but again there needs to be better signage explaining that before parking. It's the coat check room that prevents me from giving 5 stars. What a nightmare! The staff give out a numbered disc for every coat checked. At the end of the evening, I watched in disbelief as the young staff member, climbed up and down a step stool examining each coat's number searching for one to match the numbered disc given. That leads me to believe the coats weren't put in numerical order. It took too long for each coat to be found. One person's hat was lost and another's scarf was misplaced (later found on the floor of the tiny coat check room). For some reason, they wouldn't let us point to or describe our coats to speed up the process. read more

Came here for their Winterlicious lunch menu, which is something I've been wanting to try for a few years now. The location is by York mills station, and the exterior environment is definitely a contrast to the warm interior. I really like the sloping roof of the restaurant. For starters, we tried the salmon and the duck terrine. Salmon was essentially nice smoked salmon, which we both enjoyed more than the duck (quite dry and not as flavorful as gamey meats usually are). Our mains were the trout (I really liked the creamy lemony polenta bed) and the beef (cut and cook was perfect, but definitely needed some more seasoning Or sauce). Dessert was an olive oil cake and a blood orange panna cotta (creamy yet fresh) and both came with interesting housemade ice creams. Overall, the food had some great dishes and some to be desired. This may be my high expectations, as I had heard only the best about Auberge and walked out a little disappointed. But the plating and service were always excellent. For the price of Winterlicious, definitely worth trying, but this is not one I would return to next year. read more
