    We came to La Plume at The Well for late-night drinks and a few bites. The ambiance is really nice and makes it a good spot for a casual evening out. The food was decent -- we tried the burrata, which was enjoyable. The drinks were fine as well, though nothing especially memorable. Service was the main downside, as it felt slow throughout the visit. Overall, it's a nice-looking place for drinks and light bites, but the experience could be better with more attentive service.

    I visited with friends on a weekend evening. We each got the 2 course prix fixe menu so we got to sample a variety of apps and mains. We got the French onion soup, burrata, beef tartare and tempura shrimp calamari/ green beans/ zucchini . All the apps were delicious, in particular the French onion soups (although it was quite salty as well). The tempura was very lightl and flaky as well. For the main, I got the rotisserie chicken while my friends got the steak and fries. The chicken was very juicy and the portion size was HUGE. The steak also melts a bit in the mouth. I definitely recommend both. The service was very on top of things, and it was a relaxing atmosphere as well. There was supposed to be a 'hidden" speakeasy (which wasn't that hidden at all as the door was wide open when I passed by it) but we didn't have the time to see it unfortunately. From the outside, it looked pretty spacious and quiet.

    Their prix fixe menu ($55 for two courses; regular prices listed below) is also very reasonably priced, and it let me order both dishes I had my eye on. It turned into a very beef-forward evening. I started with the beef tartare ($22), made traditionally with chopped beef mixed with Dijon mustard, shallots, capers, and parsley. Instead of mixing the egg yolk in, it's thickened into a silky spread and placed on the side so you can control how much richness you want. My favourite bites were the ones where I could smear a bit of yolk and top everything with a garlic crisp. I loved the carb selection of bread and root vegetable chips so you can switch up textures as you go. A side of pickles helps cleanse the palate and makes the dish feel less heavy. The flat iron steak frites ($42) was well executed for a table of twelve. The steak arrived cooked to a perfect medium-rare and was surprisingly tender for such a lean but flavourful cut. You choose a sauce (béarnaise, shallot jus, or herbed butter), and I went with the jus - rich and savoury without overpowering the meat. It doubled as the perfect dip for the fries. La Plume's thin fries remind me of the golden arches, but with a stronger potato flavour and far less salt. They're delicious. So much so that we started the meal with an order of their truffle fries ($12) to share. In my books, there's no such thing as too many fries.

    I attended an event at the Speakeasy bar and it was amazing. The Speakeasy Cocktail Bar is located on the second floor and you need to pass through a bathroom door to find it. The bar and sitting area are elegant and beautiful. The cocktails are creative and beautifully served. Appetizers and snacks served at the event were delicious and nicely presented. The staff are friendly and helpful.

    What a fun place, we didn't go to the restaurant but went to the speakeasy Bonne Nuit on a Saturday night! It was my first time there with my three friends, and it's on the second floor hidden past the bathrooms. It's such a wow factor when you walk in from the high ceiling and beautiful decor. We just happened to walk up to ask if they had a table for four at around 11pm, and they did! The waiter was super helpful and attentive, and the cocktails were very good. The music was great by the live DJ, we had such a fun time. Definitely a great vibe for conversation and we will definitely be back. Perfect to spend time with friends or a nice date night.

    We checked out Le Plum at the well in Toronto for brunch. It's a French inspired restaurant with beautiful decor and a warm cosy atmosphere the attention to detail in both the design and the menu made for a great experience. We started with the breakfast bruschetta topped with labneh, heirloom, tomato, avocado, cucumber, olives, and basil on sourdough bread. It was fresh and flavorful, and surprisingly filling. The Labneh added a nice tank that tied everything together. I had the Laplume breakfast which came with two Sunnyside eggs, bacon, lamb merguez roasted mushrooms, potatoes, and sourdough bread everything was well seasoned and cooked perfectly especially the bacon which cooked perfectly and with savoury. My wife ordered the eggs. Benedict served on toasted croissant with spinach and hollandaise sauce accompanied by a house salad. She swapped the poached eggs for fried ones and it was delicious. The hollandaise sauce was rich and balanced, we finished off with the banofee waffles, which featured banana jam, banana caramel chocolate, Chantilly and maple syrup. It was rich and decadent definitely a sweet and way to end the meal. overall la plume offers a refined, yet brunch experience with thoughtful French touches. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to try something a little different in a beautiful setting The waiting staff was phenomenal.

    Located at The Well, La Plume is an Oliver Bonacini restaurant with a very French Bistro feel. They serve lunch, brunch and dinner and also have a happy hour menu. The restaurant is two levels and is accessible via an elevator. We came for brunch. What was ordered: - flat iron steak with frites with 2 eggs - crepe - puff pastry chicken pot pie The eggs with the steak came sunny side up, we were not asked if we wanted them differently but I am assuming they can accommodate if asked? The frites were amazing. Think McDonalds but with better seasoning. The pot pie comes with a small side salad and had hearty pieces of chicken and vegetables (carrots, peas and potatoes). Service was attentive and food came quickly. We would consider coming again if in the area.

    Cute outdoor area in the city of Toronto! Great aesthetic and felt trendy, but classic. The food was good and drinks were better.

    La Plume, located at The Well, offers a delightful taste of Southern French-inspired cuisine in an elegantly decorated setting that transports you straight to France. I thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes we ordered for Saturday brunch, and highly recommend this restaurant, especially for fans of French cuisine. The Bar menu is quite extensive, and the cocktails I ordered were delicious, though the Qu'est-ce que c'est was a tad bit strong. Brunch is offered every Saturday and Sunday from 11 AM to 2:30 PM, and Happy Hour with 50% off beverages, and oysters from 2 PM to 5 PM. Generally, they offer Happy Hour drinks prices Monday from 4-5pm & Tuesday to Sunday from 2-5pm. The staff here were friendly, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. They also have a patio for those who prefers to dine outdoors. La Plume is a great spot to enjoy the beautiful French ambiance, while savouring delicious dishes.

    Pretty solid French spot. Very nice ambience. Food wise I would say it's a solid 4/5 only because I find it slightly overpriced, but that's the aesthetic premium you have to pay for! We tried the beef tartare, scallop tartare, French onion soup and the duck pasta. The duck pasta was the only thing that didn't really slap for me- the sauce needed something extra and by the end my bf said it tasted like Campbell's soup. Not my favourite French place in Toronto but it's up there.

    My family and I with our extended family finally made it to The Well! So we were debating what to eat. We originally planned to go to another restaurant. After looking over the menu at La Plume, we were definitely swayed to come here. So we walked in, and their maitre d' was very helpful and pleasant to work with. She is very accommodating and also gave us a table more suited for our party of 7, she also helped us check our baggage (baby stroller) at the front. Big check mark right there. My family and I decided on a few dishes and I ordered the breakfast. Food came out not long after and this looked amazing. The merguez sausage was flavourful and got a good amount of spice. Very tasty brunch dish. The ambiance and environment is like a Parisian bistro with the decor. We really enjoyed our time here.

I think having caviar at the top would have made it even better though.

However the taste is excellent. Foie gras instead of pate is a very nice touch. Le Campignon consists of a Mueller (finely chopped mushroom mixture) was also excellent.

We opted for the lunch prix fixe menu, which offers any two courses for $35.

I started with the mushroom soup, which was super delicious and gluten-free. For my main, I ordered the crispy salmon, which I found to be just okay. The salmon had a bit of a fishy smell when it arrived at the table, which was slightly off-putting, and it was also a tiny bit dry. That said, the dish was otherwise good.

So it goes without saying that my expectations were extremely high for the place. We arrived just before our reservation time and were quickly shown to a comfy table near the entrance. It was a good spot for taking in the admittedly impressive ambiance. Obviously we both had to order the Birdbath Martini ("Quill Gin, House Vermouth Blend, House Orange Bitters, Lemon Oil, Olives and Pickled Onions"). And yeah, it's incredible. The tableside preparation was certainly an impressive sight, and the taste of the drink was superb. Definitely one of the best martinis in the city. For my main, I went with the Bay Street ("shaved prime rib, tobacco onion, horseradish aioli, grilled baguette, frites") and after an unusually long wait, the plate arrived to the table. I can't say I was super impressed. The meat is tender and flavorful, yes, but the bread is so plentiful and so crusty that it pretty much negated the sandwich's positive attributes. I ultimately wound up leaving most of the bread and eating the scant prime rib. The fries were quite tasty, at least. Far more problematic was the service. Our waiter was absent for much of our meal. Our water glasses were empty for most of our time in the restaurant, and he never showed up to ask us if we wanted another drink, which we certainly did. We each probably would've ordered a couple more cocktails had the guy not vanished. So yeah, the martini was indeed excellent. Everything else? Not so much.

Paneer with makhni was also included playing heavily on the delicious Indian flavors that were so full of umami taste, I could not believe this dish did not have meat. The chicken was one of my favorites with a smoked butter sauce. I could not believe white meat could be this tender and moist and absorb flavor so well.

It's like a baby Aloette. Small location in a fancy looking eatery. The tuna tartare and steak tartare were delicious. The tuna one had like a tomatoe/ strawberry relish mix which made it incredibly refreshing with a little kick. It was a very light dish. The steak version was really well seasoned and so good with the toasted bread - still light but a bit more on the savoury side. I had the angolotti pasta with snap peas and peas. It was a bit heavy and creamy with the ricotta filling, but delicious. Really enjoyed the green sauce. My partner had the truffle burger which was quite literally a burger on a plate - no sides. It was really heavy with the cheese and oils. I couldn't really enjoy it but he seemed to like it. Meat was definitely juicy! We ordered a side of truffle fries which I think lacked truffle flavour, but were delicious anyway. It came with a light aoli and they were similar to frites. Soo good! 100% would recommend it. For dessert, we had the strawberry pavlova and lemon meringue pie. The pavlova was too sweet and the pie was quite sour. So funnily enough, mixing the two was perfect. Service was very friendly and I feel like I'd love popping by for a quite bite of appetizers if I were ever in the area again. This definitely makes me want to try the larger Aloette location now!

    We visited Aloette Bay on a Friday night and made a reservation in advance. The restaurant has a…read moremodern, casual atmosphere and is relatively small, so reservations are recommended. One thing that seemed off to us was the reservation policy. When booking through OpenTable, a credit card is required, and there is a $25 per person charge for no-shows, cancellations within 48 hours, or even guest count reductions made within that time frame, which felt a bit strict for a casual dining restaurant. The restaurant officially closes at 9 p.m., but they accept reservations until around 8:15 p.m., continue taking orders after that, and allow guests to stay and finish their food and drinks at a relaxed pace. The menu is simple and approachable, with appetizers, shareables, mains, cocktails, and a selection of red, white, and sparkling wines. The food was good, the service was friendly, and everything was enjoyable, but nothing felt particularly extraordinary. One thing worth mentioning is that the restaurant's popular cheese-topped bread, which was previously complimentary at the original Aloette location, is now offered as a menu item at the Bay location for an additional charge.
