    Shrimp and bacon pasta

    Going to this place just happened by chance and I must say I didn't regret the decision. The food was really good and we enjoyed each bit of it. Good service and their patio vibes are worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood.

    Rosemary Duck (only half of it was plated here at home-- generous portions!)
    Signe L.

    This was my third time visiting, and it was horrible. There was absolutely no rosemary in the duck and the red wine that was there before was missing. The duck was completely unseasoned with only three tiny slices of mushroom, and instead of a sauce it was sitting in its own rendered fat, which got all over the roast vegetables as well. It was completely inedible. There was a bonus hair in the food - - short brown, fine and wavy. My hair is long and blonde. The rendered duck fat got all over the vegetables, so they were completely inedible, as was the shrimp with white wine reduction, which actually had cream in it even though I wrote on my note "dairy free", so I could not eat that at all. The description of the shrimp also said white wine reduction with vegetables. It did not mention cream sauce, so please get your descriptions right because your customers count on it. The utter lack of flavour and seasoning is inexcusable with all these great base ingredients that they have. I won't try this again. Uber is refusing to refund me for the allergy containing dish that was improperly described by the restaurant. I can't have those mistakes being made and hair in your food is just disgusting -- wear a hairnet. It's very unfortunate, because my journey with them started out so well, but after three orders, the food has become totally inedible. Pure rendered fat is not a glaze or a sauce.

    A classic neighborhood brunch spot, I would say its a good spot to grab all your classics you need, but not worth the commute if you are far away. Everything was good, and tasty, but can be forgettable. The portion is generous and you will surely be full with a nice side salad, fruit and serving of potatoes as a side on most dishes

    The service in this place is great, I had the Bree which I didn't like, but that's my take on it. It came with a salad that had French dressing on it. A dressing I have not seen or even heard of since my early teens and it tastes the same as I remembered. The Bree was coated and it just was not for me. The gumbo however was absolutely delicious plus I ordered lasagna for home. I suggest you give good place a try and I'd like your take on the Bree.

    Smoked chicken spaghetti (2 for 1). A lot more filling than you'd think.
    Andrew L.

    Tasty, filling and better than it looks. The smoked chicken spaghetti dishes we ordered were advertised as (2 for 1) but when we first saw them our initial reaction was that each dish would only be enough for a single meal. Our mistake. There was a lot of pasta, chicken, bacon, mushrooms and pesto cream sauce packed into each of takeout containers. The pictures aren't particularly appealing but thats merely because the ingredients are all very neutral in colour. Some fresh herbs may help add another layer of flavour and would certainly add some colour to the dish. We thoroughly enjoyed our food and would order from The Cheri Bistro again. Support your local restaurants. Four stars.

    Prosciutto & Butternut Squash Risotto

    Came here once before with my parents and again with a great friend of mine from UofT. Very rich in flavour for both dishes that I had. I was full in the end and got only ice cream as dessert. However, coming here on a Monday, there is 3 course special where you get to decide your own appetiser, entree (excluding dishes with lobster or a filet) and dessert from the menu for only $39. I chose that and it definitely paid off. Will be coming back many times in the future for different occasions.

    Fish and chips
    Megan G.

    We were here for lunch on a Saturday, and were seated very quickly. The decor inside was really nice and looked newly renovated. They also have a patio outside, and there are gender-neutral washrooms. I got the fish and chips, which was delicious! It came with some coleslaw and fruits. The batter on the fish was light and crispy (But not oily). Personally, this is one of the best fish and chips I've had in Toronto. The fruits were really fresh as well. We'd definitely come back again when we're in the area. It's a great place to grab some food - the food is quite affordable, and the service is great.

Pierina guided us via phone and even came outside of the restaurant and waved as we approached. That was awesome Customer service as well as kindness. Ambiance was chill inside. Especially liked the artwork and table with their name on it. I had the Nutella latte, Nutella and strawberry waffle, and a side of sausage. Didn't like the sausage at all (tasted a bit gamey) but that's probably because ein the states there are nitrates, etc that make it taste better. No biggie! She switched it out for bacon, and that was fine and appreciated. My sister had the breakfast tacos that looked delicious and she really enjoyed. All in all this was a great pick and I would return when im Canada ever again and I'm in the area. Keep up the great work, Pierina. Her welcoming attitude attentiveness and knowledge of the menu was stellar and warrants recognition. Thank you!!!

I ordered a latte and grabbed two goodies for the road, a raspberry croissant and a ginger molasses cookie. The staff working were welcoming and friendly and my items were ready rather quickly. Once I got back to my hotel, I settled in to enjoy and get some work done. My latte was smooth and creamy and just what I needed to get my day started. My raspberry croissant was beautiful and packed full of flavor. The filling wasn't too sweet and there was just the right amount inside. I saved my cookie for a snack while I traveled home later that day. I love how it had chunks of sugared ginger on top. The cookie had the perfect amount ​of chew to it and the ginger on top added an extra burst of ginger. It was lovely. I'm so glad I found this cafe on Yelp and I highly suggest you pay them a visit. I'm still dreaming of all the pastries I didn't get to try.

Neither did the eggs. It's like they figured out how to get the look and texture but gave up there. I couldn't eat them. And the bacon was also awful. It smelled like a bag of dog treats. I've had phenomenal vegan bacon at many places but whatever this was, was not good at all. Overall, it was very expensive and very disappointing.
