Pros: good wine selection, one great fish course, delicious dessert. Cons: sat next to entrance and froze, half the courses were forgettable, indifferent service, upto 45 minutes between courses, prices have gone up since our last visit, reached out to restaurant to discuss experience and no response after 2 emails. Verdict: Would not recommend. read more

Easily one of the most beautiful and special meals I have ever had, Edulis easily lived up to every positive review I've read. The dishes were carefully crafted, the flavours were simple and yet stunning, and the service was beyond anything I've ever experienced. I could go through and list everything I ate (we ordered the seven course menu), but you won't have the same menu when you go. Some of the plates are smaller than others, but there are some larger protein dishes mixed in. Each dish was exceptional. The bread and butter are the things dreams are made of. I kept trying to remind myself not to fill up on bread, but our server refilled our bread after we finished the first basket and it was so warm and crunchy and the butter had these beautiful hints of, like, i dunno, caramel? maybe ... I can't even. By far my favourite course was our starting course - something I can only describe as a ceviche salad with limequat. Apparently my spellcheck doesn't think limequat is a word, but wikipedia says otherwise. Anyways, it was magical. I would like to especially thank our server, and while I don't know her name, I think if she were to come across my review she may remember us and see this particular shout out. You went out of your way to ensure we were well taken care of, especially my best friend, and I couldn't be more thankful for your hospitality. read more

HOW DOES EDULIS NOT HAVE AT LEAST A 4.5 STAR RATING ON YELP?!?!? One of life's great mysteries. Seriously, I've been here several times and it's easily in my top five favourite restaurants ever. read more

The litmus test for whether a restaurant is "really good" or not is the question "Could I make this at home if I tried". If that is truly the case, then Edulis is a really good restaurant. Everything was expertly prepared, delicately presented and beautifully sized. Staff were wonderfully attentive and pleasant beyond belief. The problem is, the food wasn't that spectacular. It's that plain and simple. I wish I could state it some other way. Sure, we LIKED it, but we didn't LOVE it. Perhaps some of that was due to the human idiocy that was seated at the table beside us. A woman who seemed to want the whole world to know that she changes her iPhone case according to the season. We loved the IDEA of carte blanche. Unfortunately, in practice this translated to "let's feed you an orgy of meat". Perhaps we picked an off night? read more

Chef did a great job with plating and the ambience is awesome. Food was well made but expect portion to be small. Every dish that it came out gives you a little surprise because of the beautiful plating and the use of colour. Feels like eating a piece of Art. The poached Goose Liver was the best I ever tried. Highly recommended to try this place if you are willing to spent the money. read more

I booked this restaurant far in advance to take my girlfriend for her birthday and we will definitely be coming back. The Menu: The menu is a pre-fix menu and the dishes are not listed on the printed menu on the tables. Our host told us the dishes are frequently changed and there is a completely new menu approximately every 3 weeks, with some dishes changing every few days (so it makes sense they don't print new menus out all the time). However this also means you need to be comfortable with not knowing what you're about to pay for. There are two options you can order, a 5 course and 7 course for $65 & $85. We were told that the amount of food is roughly the same as the portions will be adjusted down for the 7 course meal, although you will try two extra dishes, so ordering the 7 course meal solely for the purpose of getting more food may not be a feasible option. To start they brought out stuffed olives, house-made bread and butter.. The bread was very good (similar to a whole wheat calabrese bread) and a large amount is given too which is nice, you can easily have a few pieces each with some to spare. The seven courses we tried are briefly below: 1. Sashimi 2. Shredded snow crab 3. White asparagus and morrel mushroom 4. Georgian Bay lake trout with radishes and almonds 5. John Dory with muscat grapes and leeks 6. Chicken stuffed with foi gras, crawfish on a push pastry, and mushroom 7. Dessert came in two parts, one is a Cake with a rum syrum and creme, the other is a rhubarb frozen yogurt made with goats milk. Overall I was really happy with the menu. While the dishes are small they are very flavourful and rich, and as a result you dont find yourself wanting more. By the end of the meal I was definitely full. In addition to the above we tried their in house made sodas. We tried the apricot and elderflower which I would highly recommend. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is casual, and the restaurant looks like a small cottage inside and out. I think it is very well suited for a date night, as it does have a romantic vibe to it. Service: The service is good, not bad by any means but also not anything special. It was about what you expect from a higher end restaurant but nothing over the top. No complaints here. Parking: There is a parking garage just around the corner (about a 3 minute walk), with underground parking for about $4 which is nice and convenient. Overall I definitely will be going back to try the menu in other seasons as the menu tends to reflect what can be locally sourced and what ingredients are fresh and in season. I'm looking forward to coming back. read more

I'm agreeing with reviewer Brandon M. on this one, Edulis should have at least a 4.5 star rating; our meal last night was nothing less than a 7 out of 5 stars! I'll admit I was a bit nervous with some of the mixed ratings on here about portion size, but my fiance and I each had the 5 course carte blanche menu and were more than stuffed by the end. There are no neon lights here people, no free refills on pop, or crayons on the table... this is not East Side Mario's, the food will not fall off the side of your plate. In fact, the food is a smidgeon of art work; I felt so bad destroying its perfect placement each time a course came out. But then again, the flavours were incredible, so I didn't feel bad for long! Like another reviewer on here, I can't possibly describe the intricacy of the courses and do them justice. There were NS Bay scallops (a big maritime hug goes out to the waitress who pronounced "scallop" like she was from Digby!), Fluke, Ham (not just regular ham, but super ham) and then duck breast and duck sausage, which was honestly the best dish of the whole crew. It's the mix of flavours that get you, you"ll be tasting things for the first time with every bite. So well done. Dessert was a lemon tart with kiwi berries, and I'm telling you, this lemon tart was delicious!! Lemon tarts usually bore me with their tarty, dry filling, but this one rocked my world for a little bit. The lemon curd was soft and pillow-y and the shortbread crust was perfectly cooked. I would have asked for seconds, but I had to remind myself we were at a restaurant and not my grandmother's house. This is a cozy, intimate place with a heavily euro-feel. In a way I felt like I was in a small town in Europe, the service was speedy, attentive and proper. The atmosphere was boisterous but not overbearing... get yourself some reservations at this place, choose a wine and then sit back and let the chef surprise you dish after dish. What could be easier!? :) read more

Food, service and atmosphere where all outstanding! I went here with my boyfriend last night and had the 7 course tasting menu. Although we were tempted to add the additional white trifle risotto course, it was an extra $85/plate and you had to order 2 portions because that was how the ride was cooked. When we arrived at the restaurant the table beside us had just received the risotto plate and there was an over generous amount of truffle and the smell was exquisite. I spoke to our lovely waitress about the extra cavier and truffle dishes and she mentioned that they are on the menu at cost to make them more accessible to patrons. With that said, I will definitely be going back to indulge in these delicacies! The 7 course meal that we did have was mainly seafood and vegetables which is the restaurant's specialty. Every dish was very unique but had a similar light, crisp, fresh taste, that got richer as the meal went on. My favourite of the evening would be the mackerel which had a side of greens in a vinigrette dressing. My second favourite would have to be the first dessert course (since I have such a big sweet tooth). It was a spice cake with a citrus sorbet and pestacio cream. This course had a great balance between light, rich and citrus. The last course was the rum bubba cake which was almost like an angela food cake doused in a rum syrup and served with a Chantilly cream. They also pour extra rum syrup at your table when the dish is served which I wasn't a fan of because the rum was too strong for me but my boyfriend still enjoyed it! Overall amazing. Definitely in my top 5 of restaurants in the city and will definitely go back. read more

First time going into a restaurant that has no menu, the only options are "5 or 7 courses". They also wrote "put your belly on us" so I trust them without asking any questions. There's no disappointment from appetizer to dessert, everything was very tasty. Servers were very knowledgeable and attentive. The atmosphere was very cozy. They change their dishes every month and I can't wait to go back when its truffle season!! read more

I came here for their Sunday brunch (with half price bottles of wine), and had an overall excellent experience. The food was generally very good, the ingredients were high quality, and the flavours were all unique and delicious. My friend and I both agreed that their fish dishes were significantly more delicious than their meat dishes, and their vegetable dishes were okay, bordering on good. Their wine list was great, and our waitress was able to make two excellent recommendations. I would highly recommend ordering their scallops as an extra; they were fantastic! As well, we ordered three cheeses with our dessert, another modification that I think elevated the meal. We paid $250 for 2 people with two bottles of wine, and extras including cheese and scallops. We left feeling very full and spent 3 full hours at the restaurant. In my opinion, the price was quite fair. I'd recommend it, and I will be going back for dinner to see how it compares. read more

Edulis - Spanish Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

To be fair, I think my rating would be a solid 3.5... Not quite a 4, but better than a 3. My guest and I decided to try out this place because of all the hype. I went because they had Hay chicken!!! It's chicken people, cooked in Hay... unfortunately they didn't get any of their special chickens in SO we decided to try the 7 course tasting menu. Yes, it's 7 courses but I'm Asian and we are used to 12. You do leave full but not uncomfortably so. Highlights for me: - (Free-kinda) Artisan bread, nice and crusty - Lamb - perfectly done - Dessert - the cheesecake with this crazy hazelnut pastry, winner. Lowlights for me: - Clear soup - really? Clear soup? - Seared pickerel... Maybe it's the fish... Did nothing for me. - Octopus... Maybe if I liked Octopus more, I would enjoy it more. It was fresh but I didn't find it flavourful. Octopus should melt in your mouth, not kinda smooshy and slimy. All in all, it's a nice experience. The place is quaint. Blink and you'll miss it. The wait staff are really nice. If you've never been, go check it out. It's always nice to be surprised at every dish that comes... Just let them know your allergies before the food starts coming out! And it's all seasonal and local, which probably means you should go in the spring and summer, where in Toronto, there's more choice for artisan places like this. Go leeks! read more

There is no secret that our dining experience in Toronto left so much to be desired. If someone asked me if I wanted a blank check I would probably say 'yes' at first but after our experience at Edulis, I now say that carte blanche can also be carte blah! We really wanted to like this place and they really tried hard but I think this was a case where Dr. J and my taste buds are not ready for this type of culinary freedom! read more

We went for the Sunday lunch, $40 pp. One menu, six courses. Other than dessert, you share each dish. I like this concept and brings back a little euro feel. Bottle of wine is half price on Sunday, which is a steal. Since the menu changes, no need to go into details. Let just say I had high expectations going in. The meal was good but didn't wow me. The ingredients were fresh, but a couple dishes came out a bit burnt. The service was just ok. There was a gap in service between regulars and new guests. I should have given this place a 4* but they really didn't provide a comfortable dining experience. The place was cold! Half my body down was cold. They had heaters all around but that didn't work. As such, the food also got cold quicker. At $40, the meal is good value. The service needs some work. They should definitely fix the heating issue for winter. read more

They often say a prophet is never honoured in his own hometown. This may certainly be the case for Edulis. Located at 169 Niagara St. South of Wellington (416.703.4222/ edulisrestaurant.com). Chef Michael Caballo is an old hat in the neighborhood and maybe the reason for opening his new venture at what was the old Niagara Street Café. The new owners have modestly whitewashed the Café, a cozy venue that Anton Potvin, the most companionable restaurateur in the city, made into a wine lovers' destination, welcoming collectors wanting to show off their cellars. Nemeth is now the maitre d', an ebullient welcomer, while Caballo is in the kitchen. This is a place for the adventurous. If you are expecting the ordinary, stay away. There is really nothing you will recognize on the menu, including the names. From rabbit butifarra sausage and porcini on toast ($13) to baba au rhum ($10). The servers don't make it any easier to understand probably because of the unusualness of the cooking method. Everything is generally earthy and lesser cooked - no everyone's cuppa. I would definitely recommend reading all the reviews to see if this place is for you, before making a reservation and coming out $110 (dine for two including wine and tax) lighter in your wallet. read more

This restaurant is the real deal. The dishes were thoughtful and perfectly sized. The drinks were perfectly paired and appropriately priced. The service was impeccable but not overly attentive. It was a real pleasure to eat here. Each of the dishes was fancy but not too fluffy. The ingredients were hearty, but not overly seasoned to allow the flavours to shine on their own. You can really feel the chef's heart and soul in the entire experience. Nothing is 'for show', it's very honest. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a special night. read more

This place is amazing and definitely special. The service, they were able to describe each dish with such words that make you to eat. Interestingly, the five course and seven course are approximately the same amount of food, but just offers more variety. This place is primarily seafood, we got three varieties of fish that were delicious. Then the main course was such three ways, it was so well thought out. And cause this is the place to get truffle and we were sold that white truffle is so much better than black truffle, we splurge on the risotto with white truffle. Wow. The aroma of this truffle was spectacular, just wanted to whiff the smell. The taste, not as distinct as the smell but tastes good too. Then to end it off, cake with rum. And this want a splash, it was like doused it rum. But also interestingly, didn't have a huge rum flavor, was it diluted? Doesn't matter cause it still tested good! The space is not small, but not big. You can see the different people, some are regulars. Definitely worth the try! read more

Came here several weeks back and LOVED it! I had been meaning to write a review, but got all caught up with life. My wife and I had the 5 course Carte Blanche tasting menu, where the chef picks 5 courses (mostly off the menus) to create our meal. Like others have said, the 5 course tasting is $50 and the 7 course is $70. If you're not super hungry, 5 courses should be sufficient, but the food was so good I could have easily done 7. Honestly, every dish was fantastic. I can't recall all the deets since it was several weeks back, but I really would just leave it to the chef to pick what he wants to cook and you will not be disappointed! I can't quite remember all the dishes, but there wasn't one that made me pause. I wasn't blown away by the dessert - a rum cake - but it's cuz I'm seriously biased towards chocolate! Drinks were also excellent. I also had a couple glasses of red and my wife had some house-made Wild Ginger soda. All the drinks were very tasty! Service was excellent. It's casual and homey. Tobey, one of the owners, runs the resto and was super friendly. Somehow our table was skipped for one of the courses, so they gave us a replacement course and then also cooked us the course we originally missed, which was served to us by Michael, the chef, with his personal apologies. We felt really well taken care of in light of the blunder! read more

We had a wonderful evening at Edulis. The service was impeccable. Our waiter, Tobey, answered all of our questions, helped us with wine recommendations, and ensured that all dietary needs were met. He and the entire staff were very friendly and accommodating. I never even had to ask to have my water glass refilled! The atmosphere was comfortable and cozy. But the highlight of our evening was, of course, the food. We enjoyed the 7 course tasting menu with an additional cheese course. I follow a pescatarian diet, and the chef made amazing substitutions for all meat courses. Typically, when I give my dietary restrictions for a tasting menu, I am given some sort of pasta or light vegetable to replace the meat portions. Although delicious, they normally do not have much substance, and I do not always leave feeling satisfied. However, Edulis replaced meat with fish and hearty vegetables! I truly do appreciate this. Our favorite courses were the lobster dish, the poached salmon dish, and the ahi/meat course. The bread was amazing and there was also an excellent cheese menu to choose from. Edulis is definitely worth the price. I highly recommend this restaurant to others looking for a nice evening out! read more

Edulis is, in my opinion, the best restaurant of its kind in Toronto. Over the past 5 years I've enjoyed many Sunday lunches and dinners at Edulis, and every single time they seem to out do themselves. From the moment you walk in, you instantly feel like you've arrived somewhere very special. Sunday lunch is wonderful and served family style with half price bottles of wine - which is a lovely bonus. You're served warm homemade milk buns along side your lunch. It's the perfect way to enjoy a Sunday afternoon. Every Sunday lunch is different so you never tire of coming back as each time you are surprised with local, seasonal ingredients. Dinner is spectacular. We always do the 7 course menu followed by a cheese course. The chef's are truly artists. Everything is expertly prepared but unlike some other restaurants that offer tasting menu's, the experience is not one that is sterile or impersonal, the staff are warm, knowledgable and not at all pretentious which makes you feel very at ease. Often times I will ask specific questions about different ingredients and they always take the time to explain everything to me in detail. I can't say enough wonderful things about Edulis, Toronto is very lucky to have this restaurant in our city. read more

Cozy and friendly restaurant. The servers were extremely accommodating, considering my friend got stuck in traffic and we were an hr late for our reservation. We ordered the 7 course carte blanche and the food was delicious. We just wished there was a little more of it than one bite per dish. The courses came out slowly and the meal lasted a good 3 hours. Considering it took about 2 minutes to eat each dish, we felt the meal was a little dragged out, although we really weren't complaining as we hadn't caught up for a long time so we used the time to do so. Overall delicious meal, but when after considering for cost vs enjoyment, I probably wouldn't return any time soon. read more

Dinner last night at Edulis with a friend was cozy and a great spot to catch up over good food. We both chose the 5-course carte blanche menu over the 7-course; we were told both menus had about the same amount of food in terms of quantity. I was worried whether it would be enough, but the five-course was just the right amount of food. The fresh house-made bread was served with their amuse bouche of anchovy stuffed olives. I could have ate that whole basket of bread! Next courses were fish, one served raw and the other was grilled John Dory. Both were fresh and wonderfully prepared. This was followed by suckling pig and duck. These dishes were great for a cold winter evening; they had a rustic, simple presentation yet both very tender and succulent. Dessert was soma chocolate (served like a pudding) served with meringue. Not too sweet and a nice end to our meal. The pace of the meal was served perfectly and the progression of food from each course was well chosen. We both enjoyed our small feast but just didn't find it outstanding. Maybe it was just all the hype that I expected more. Nonetheless, the food was delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed every course. I had two glasses of wine with my five courses and was full after our 3 hour meal. The small restaurant had a welcoming, warm ambiance and we had attentive service. The five-course carte blanche menu is definitely a great deal for the price for the quality of food and an enjoyable quiet evening. read more

One of the most creative and inspiring dinner experiences we have had in the past year.

I Love this restaurant. This review is just me totaly fangirling this place. Edulis has everything that I look for in a dining establishment: top-notch ingredients, unpretentious preparation, and intimate atmosphere. The focus here is definitely the food and the diner. It's nice to be able to go to dinner and not feel inadequate because I'm not wearing a skin tight dress. The noise level is perfect for a social meal; it's a warm buzzing of friendly conversations without heavy bass beats banging my eardrums. Everything about Edulis is perfection because it is so effortless on the part of the guest yet everything that comes out of the kitchen is so ridiculously mindblowing. Before visiting the restaurant, I called and asked if we could do a special prix fixe menu because I wanted truffles on everything (they have a small and large carte blanche on their menu). I told them that we could do around $100 per person and the chef said it was doable. We arrived at the restaurant not knowing what to expect at all. I have tried a couple of prix fixe menus over $100 before and my expectations were never surpassed -- once I even found myself eating a hamburger afterwards. Since I told them I wanted truffle errthang, I really thought we'd get dainty little dishes with sprinkles of truffle soot. Man, was I wrong (in a good way)!! I can't recall all the dishes individually because it's been a while since the meal so please forgive me for the lack of gastronomic details (again...this is nothing more than a personal fangirl post). The first several dishes arrived and all had substantial shavings of truffle. The truffles really worked well with the other ingredient rather than upstaging them (which is what I usually find with truffle oil) but still maintaining its star status in every plate. I thought the chef is going to give us a lot of truffles in a few courses ... but the plates kept coming (yehh =D)! By the end of the meal, I was stuffed but I still couldn't stop eating because everything was sooooo good. All the flavours were hearty and relatable. I was glad that I was't paying for foams and painstaking garnishes. . such a cathartic experience when you can eat something rare to your palate and be able to relate to it and genuinely enjoying the flavours as supposed to eating something expensive and reacting like "I don't know if I really like this but there's nothing to dislike. Everyone else seem like love this stuff so I guess this is good food". Even writing this review and revisiting these memories invoke the euphoric feelings my taste buds had that night. It's amazing how a really exceptional restaurant can create the feeling of happiness and let that feeling relive again every time the diner recounts that meal. That is what that meal at Edulis did for me and I can't wait to go back again!!! read more

....The flavours were discernible by the menu descriptions, and nothing came off as pretentious or over-reaching. Hearing that the Carte Blache (their 5 or 7 course tasting menus) was comprised primarily of menu items, we decided that we would prefer to choose our dishes to ensure that we got our must-have dishes (hello, foie gras, I'm talking about you). This is what we had: Bread Basket Simple and delicious with a fluffy rich white bun and a heartier whole grain selection. Mixed Wild Mushrooms with Spanish Fried Egg and Brioche Toast The flavours here were flawless. The mushrooms were cooked and seasoned perfectly, a celebration of earthy deep flavours. Cut by a bright parsley garlic olive oil, the egg and brioche brought a rich, decadent element that did not overpower the mushrooms. I had only wished that the egg had been cooked a little less (the yolk did not run as I'd hope), and the brioche had been toasted or seared well enough that it maintained some of its integrity rather than becoming an indiscernible disk of soggy carbs at the bottom of the bowl. My other criticism was that the dish was served luke warm. Unfortunately, this was actually true for every dish we had at Edulis. Fresh Istrian White Truffle with Soft Eggs and Onion Puree Probably the best truffle dish I have ever tasted. The onion puree had a sweet, slightly smokey flavour, with a pleasant mild acidic note. The eggs had a really comforting texture, gingerly speckled with fresh herbs to cut the richness. And thank you, Edulis, for doing truffle right. A delicate shaving of white truffles adorned the eggs so that the umami-rich flavour was distinguished, but not overwhelming. Poached Foie Gras "Facon Michel Guerard" Du Puy Lentils, Smoked Apple Puree For someone who ordinarily is not a huge fan of De Puy Lentils, this was a stellar dish, and worth holding out on the Carte Blanche for (or ordering it in addition to the tasting). The foie itself was generously portioned and incredibly buttery, contrasted with the supple pop of the lentils beneath. I appreciated the sweet and acidic note of the apple, and the salty crunch of the chicken skin. Way to make a girl love lentils. Glazed Beef Cheek with Black Trumpets, Parsley Root Puree, Sunchokes, Herbs The beef cheek was meltingly tender, and its deep rich flavour was complemented beautifully with the trumpet mushrooms. Both of these elements worked well with the nutty, sweet sunchokes and lustrously smooth puree. Kale and Duck Leg Meat Ball with Stewed Potatoes and Hazelnuts This was probably our least favourite dish, but by no means and failure. The meat ball lacked the moisture and the sumptuous mouthfeel I would expect from anything made of duck legs. The stewed potatoes and hazelnuts, however, were a dream. The potatoes were tender and beautifully seasoned, while the hazelnuts lent a contrasting crunch and nutty aroma. This would make for a beautiful holiday side. Vin Santo Roasted Pear, Walnut Toffee Cream, Salted Caramel Sitting before us looking like a Bon Appetit magazine cover, this was a light, yet indulgent and elegant dessert. The pear had slightly caramelized exterior, that when plunged into the caramel and cream below yielded a perfect bite of sweet, salty and richness. As someone who has poached many-a-pears, I found the roasting technique easier to eat (with a bit of care, you could cut it easily with a spoon), but a little bit more grainy in texture. Regardless, I literally ate everything in the bowl except the stem. Spiced Apple Sorbet Another light and refreshing end to a meat-heavy meal. The sorbet had all of those memory-evoking holiday spices, and without the weight an ice cream, I could actually appreciate the bright acidic apple flavour. A rendition of this may make an appearance in my freezer sometime soon. So, for 5 savoury dishes, 2 sweet, 3 cocktails, 1 glass of wine, sparkling water and a cappuccino, the bill came to $250, a bit more than we normally spend, but the quality was testimony to its worth. I will definitely come for a return visit, and when I do, I'll plan for an all-nighter, tuck into a 7-course Carte Blanch, and try to spend some time chatting it up with Tobey. Congratulations Edulis on your recent success and accolades. There is definitely good reason why you've been voted number one! read more

No nonsense fine dining at its best. Edulis does not try to impress with fancy decor or colours and shiny objects. Rather it puts all of its efforts and focus on what matters, the food. Each dish is meticulously crafted to bring out and compliment the natural flavours and textures of the seasonal ingredients. Delicious, simple and memorable. My wife and I went all out and got the 7 course with white truffle for our anniversary. The element of surprise, not knowing the menu made the dining experience a lot of fun and special. We were there for 4 hours, but they flew by, like nothing, The only dish that was slightly below fantasticx was the aged duck breast, which was a little cold and chewy. Yet everything had a delicious earthen flavour, all lead by some delicious root, be it an onion, leek or garlic, sometimes pulses, and greens. One of the standout dishes was the soup with foie gras and an old hen broth... I had no idea those menopausal birds had such delicious bones... (kudos to the knowledgeable and friendly waitstaff) Can't wait to go again! (Albeit, not anytime soon, without selling an arm/leg)... read more

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight... EDULIS You are my one true love. You never let me down. Sundays are our special time together. You surprise me with your amazingly sourced product, each succulent course a beautiful surprise. You tease me with your vegetables, mesmerize with your confit and sous vide and lead me into temptation with dessert. I wish I had three friends to share Frédéric Delair inspired pressed duck....maybe one day. You always leave me wanting more, and sadly you are at times elusive to see and play hard to get, especially on Sundays. read more

Went for brunch on a Sunday. I would say 50% of the dishes were excellent! The main entree however was somewhat disappointing.

Came here in the dead heat of summer after a 3 week reservation with my other half. I've had this place marked for some time, specifically coming for their truffle menu. We were lucky to experience truffles in the summer months, as they were flown in from Australia. We ordered the extended 7 courses, which felt like a marathon to get through. Normally I'm up for the experience, but 4 hours was a little long... and after a bottle of wine and some cocktails, I was ready to Zzzz. I do want to mention that we received a cocktail on the house, which was was nice gesture. Food was well executed, and very seafood-centric. Ingredients were high quality and presented thoughtfully. Not sure why the largest plate (Whole hen served on hay) was served at the end though, I was pretty full by that point. Expect some smoke coming from your wallet - but if you can fork over a handful of Benjamin's, everything is worth trying once! read more

What a great find in Toronto! A colleague and I had the seven course tasting menu and other than one of the dishes had sweetbreads (I just can't go there) everything was incredibly flavorful and delivered with attentive service. To my surprise, one of the courses was a very wintery type dish that was made with Duck, which I normally hate, and I couldn't get enough of it! Parking can be a pain, but we parked only a block down from the restaurant. I admit I was skeptical of a 7 course meal selected by the chef with no ability to "pick and choose", but given the read more

Food 5 star Service 4 star Drinks were below average and the cocktails can be better. it wasn't really traditional, but all the ingredients where fabulous the flavor really good, beautiful execution for each dish, food was great we ate a 8 course meal and it was pretty good Dessert was some kind of cake with rum just poor in it. it was delicious best dessert I had. read more

We had a phenomenal dining experience at Edulis. We got the 7 course tasting menu and were very impressed with 6 out of the 7 courses. The food was very unique and the ideas the chef came up with were really interesting. We really enjoyed the attention to detail - really delicious experience. The ambiance is very cute as well. And the service was excellent. We went on a Sunday night and the restaurant was quite empty so it didn't feel crowded or rushed and we got a lot of attention from the servers. And the food was well spaced out. read more

It is still one of my favourite restaurants. Reservations are hard to come by- they work on a 30 day cycle, so go online thinking 30 days in advance. The tasting menu is phenomenal. The emphasis is on seafood and I find that their meat dishes are my least favourite, however I'm a seafood lover. It is a quaint place, quite intimate, and sometimes you may be close to your neighbours which doesn't always let you have the privacy you may want. I have returned there twice and will come back for more in the future. This time, I splurged on some of the extras and again I have no regrets. It can be a pricey night but definitely worth it. read more

Amazing food and incredible service. Our server was fantastic, made great wine pairing recommendations for us which were much appreciated. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, perfect for the double date we were on with friends. 10/10 great experience! read more

Edulis is amazing. The food is European in nature and the flavours are explosive yet comforting in nature. The savouries are a revelation. Desserts are good but aren't at the level of the previous courses. Seafood is spectacular. The last main is always a responsibly sourced meat, sometimes dry aged veal or duck or Berkshire pork, served with seasonal vegetable that is absurdly flavourful. Service is wonderful and personable. Really a can't miss place and a totally singular experience. Well deserved top 5 restaurant in Canada read more

I came here with a few friends, scouting out the "best of Toronto" for friends visiting. After hearing good things from the ether, and a warning from a good friend whom I trust, I was curious to see what the "Real deal" is. My friend said they did not order any of the "pre-order" items that seem to be the house special dishes, so we ordered the chicken and 10-week aged ribeye. The roasted and raw beet appetizer with goat cheese was executed well enough and generally good. The special hay chicken ($70 for 2) was nice and tender, but completely bland and without any sort of textural contrast. The ribeye ($90) was grilled, though quite rare throughout and completely lacking in the delicious crusting that forms through either a proper sear or grill, the beef flavor was a bit grassy but otherwise, was lacking in any 'enhancement', either form some nice Maillard chemistry on the surface or some nice salt and pepper or rosemary. Bland again. The accompanying au gratin potatoes were fine. When everyone at the table is trying to push the remaining portions to everyone else, you know there's a problem. Of the two desserts we had, the vin sante poached pear was good, while the chocolate pudding with noxious oil was an epic failure (how do you @#$ up chocolate?) Call me crazy, but if the gimmick of the house is to have expensive pre-reserved entrees, they better be pretty darned amazing. These were not. The food might have been passable at half the price and the inclusion of salt and pepper grinders on the table. read more

Based on all the amazing reviews I've read, we must have experienced an off night. The room and ambience are very nice and there is a great wine list. Unfortunately those are the only positive comments I have. I took friends there for dinner as these people are adventurous foodies and I've heard such great things but unfortunately, no one enjoyed their dinner. It was one disappointing course after another. There was one course that was good but it was far from outstanding. Extremely overpriced for what we got. Our server was rude. I was embarrassed to have suggested the place honestly. Everyone said they would never go back. There are so many incredible restaurants in this city, I felt ripped off and hungry after 7 courses. I've never done a review on yelp but this experience was so disappointing that I felt compelled to write this. read more

This is by far the best food experience in Toronto. The food and service are amazing. Treat yourself with the 7 course tasting and you won't be disappointed. read more

I came here with high expectations after reading a number of reviews. We eat out frequently and I was really hoping that this might be added to our list of favourites. Unfortunately it was a let-down. The space itself is cozy and the service was great. However the tasting menu had a few dishes that we did not enjoy. One dish in particular was terrible - smoked mackerel with kale. Too much bitterness and fishiness in one dish. I must give credit to the service staff though - the kitchen was nice enough to give us an extra course without us saying a word (they could tell we didn't enjoy it). I appreciated the thought that went into the tuna starter but the flavours didn't quite work together - beets, apples, bitter greens and tuna didn't mix well. The sausage and sweetbreads were ok but nothing special, same with the bouillon. The goose, our last dish, was good but a little too late and not enough to make up for the rest. The dessert was really nice - the ice cream and cake were great but nothing spectacular. I feel like the restaurant's staff and owners really care about the place. I just think that the food wasn't our thing. read more

Total rip off. This restaurant was all hype and in the end we walked out knowing we would never get that time or money back. First mistake was doing the truffle tasting menu. For $150 a head I could have spent my money better at another restaurant. Let me preface by saying I love eating out and have no problem spending money on good food. I love truffles. This was not a truffle meal to love. Truffles were only in 3 of the 7 courses and none of the courses were delicious. I kept trying to find amazing flavor but after each bite came back bland and boring. From the first course I knew we had over paid but since we were already along for the ride I wanted my moneys worth! That did not happen. Secondly, it took forever! Our reservation was at 7:30 and we didn't make it out until 10:45. And we did not loiter around, we wanted to get out of there! The service was slow and the meal dragged along in an uncomfortable way. My suggestion; don't eat here. read more
