I’ve been here 3 times and always loved it! Menu changes but never was I disappointed! I love here for a wide range of great oysters and all sorts of dessert and seafood done the French way ;)

Yunus Tasliel

This little guy (a.k.a. the Sipping Chocolate ) could is the best hot chocolate I tried in Toronto. It is completely melted 65% Peruvian dark chocolate with no added milk !

C Rey

Upscale French inspired cuisine with excellent seafood offerings. Seafood tower is plenty to share and worth it! Wonderful outdoor seating and service. Ask for guidance on menu and wine pairings .

Steve Johnston

This place was exquisite! The decor, the service, the atmosphere, and best of all: the menu! For brunch , get some pastries , try some fusion eggs benny , like the Banh Mi benny!

Hans Nelson

First time trying poutine , after years of working in Canada. Amazing! The service, vibe, and food at Cluny are all amazing! I would definitely recommend this place for a great night out.

Kyo Song

Fantastic modern French fare! Enjoyed the Moroccan chickpea and sweet potato tagine was a highlight. Their bakery section is also great if you want a snack (try their crepes ). A bit pricey

Mariana L

Salmon tartare , deconstructed salmon ravioli is wonderful. They make an excellent steak . Duck poutine a little heavy. King and queen kale salad may not sound exciting , but loved.

Rosaline

Must try the passionfruit soufflé if you dine in. Share with a date. Or get the Greek yogurt sorbet to go (@ the boulangerie) and walk around. A pretty resto- prob the go-to spot in the Distillery .

Joe Manuguid

The oyster special is a great deal ... The bread selection is amazing but surprisingly I found the foie gras a bit over done (rubbery) so explicitly remind them to not over cook the foie gras

Mary Gonsalves

The seafood lunch and the Frenchy burger are absolutely incredible. The bread that they give you is amazing as well and I love how the butter was unsalted. And the dining atmosphere is beautiful.

Nacho Yague

I started with "Lime and chili marinated black king fish " and it was delicious. As a main course, I ordered "lamb two ways" . very tasty and fulfilling although it looks like is a tiny portion.

Rob L

What a great place! Could it be that Toronto is finally getting a few decent places to eat outside of chinese food ??? Bravo Cluny but certainly not cheap ... Enjoy it folks!

Jesse P.

Surprised at the great options for vegetarians ! Try the sesame crusted asparagus sticks, the two-kale salad , and definitely the sweet potato couscous . It was spectacular!

Joanna Sable

Simply to die for Lake Ontario fish and crispy perfect frites . Ask for the home made tarragon mayo . It is so good.

Shilan

We liked the braised beef but it was too oily. We loved the madame duck , it was yummy! Drinks here are too pricey , especially the Mojito was really disappointing because 3/4 of the glass was only ice!

Anton

This place's got quite nice interior. As for the food, it suffers from typical modern French cuisine problem - boring simple food, and smallest portions in the world. The bread they serve is great.

H K

The Frenchy (burger ) and steak and frites were really good. Also, get the pastry plate if you like French pastries !!

Julia Lanc

The atmosphere here will make you feel like you are somewhere in Europe. If you are a fan of Beef Tartare , try their Table Side Beef Tartare .

Sebastian Keegan

The burger is great but beware--it's huge. Probably around a pound. You may want to take it easy with the appetizers . The baked sauvagine was outstanding. Steak tartare was nice.

Denise

Beautifully prepared and delicious French cuisine . Portions are perfectly sized and will leave you wanting to come back again and again.

Sarah Giesbrecht

Everything I had was delicious, but I would have to say the highlights were the asparagus frites and the passion fruit soufflé .

Ada Ubrezi

The best avocado / crab toast ever in nicely set up French atmosphere with attentive staff !

Mark Kwong

French onion soup is amazing, the lobster bisque has actual good amount of lobsters in it and it's FRESH.

Karla Donjuan

Breakfast drinks! My favorite! The veggie tartine kept me full the whole day!

Penelope Meyreles

The mocktails are delicious! The salmon and the greens salads very good!

MJ Cha

Great brunch food ! Loved eggs benedict . Fries were slso good.

Jason

I had the wagyu hache. The swagyu was a bit chewy but juicy.

Miguel Florendo

Beautiful space, delicious hearty food and gorgeous bearded waiters :)

C S

French food for people that have never had French food . Beautiful space, subpar tourist trap food. They deep fried asparagus when it's in season ????????‍♂️

Baharinaaa

Perfect brunch in distillery district!

HanBi K

I love their pastries .. So delicious!

Sabah Haddara

Gorgeous decor and great staff . Our food was alright, but maybe that was because we were some of the last patrons to order that night...

Emilie Wong

fantastic seafood bisque with puff pastry !

Thomas

The macarons are to die for!

Alissa Underland

Blueberry desert is amAzing

Markus Doerr

Really lovely brunch spot , delicious coffee .

Kage -DGH

Food is always great, the cocktails are hit or miss(so stick to wine )

FoodloverYYZ

Bakery is very outstanding.

Shilan

French cuisine , atmosphere, decoration, patio

Joanna Sable

Huge, stunning...put foie gras on any and everything.

HanBi K

Inside looks gorgeous! Definitely good for a date!!

markham guy

Oh my god been here twice, beautiful building but the food it aweful, so sad....

Rosita

Try the baked apple stuffed with smoked cheddar mousse

Franz Vitulli

Seafood stew 's dominant flavour was saffron . Our mains arrived across 10 mins (we were 4). Asked for a spoon, asked for the wifi password, they were never brought to me. Utterly disappointing.

Marvin

'Just admiring the desserts ; move along.'

Laura CT

Skip the bread experience and request pastries from the front to be brought to your table

Erin

try the lamb kofte

Scooter Thompson

The grilled cheese was the only edible savory hot food. Quiche was too salty and beef pie was minced .

HanBi K

Hm.. Honestly french cuisine is not my favourite. Food was ok.. Salad was good but the main dishes were boring.
