🇨🇦 Toronto's Hidden French Food Heaven 🇫🇷 Côte de Boeuf
I’ve been eyeing this tiny French bistro forever—rave reviews everywhere, but no reservations + 1hr+ queues had me hesitant. Finally tried it last week (even in the rain on their patio-that-feels-like-the-sidewalk 😅), and… WORTH. EVERY. SECOND. 🍽 THE STARS OF THE SHOW 🥩 Beef Tartare – THE LEGEND. Buttery toasted baguette (CRUNCH!) + perfectly seasoned beef Pickles, onions, PEPPER BOMB (my soulmate dish 💖) 🐌 Escargot – Garlic butter heaven (snails = meh, but dip that bread like your life depends on it). 🥩 Dry-Aged Prime Ribeye (Medium) – Crusty outside, juicy inside, though slightly chewy. Veggies & potatoes? Chef’s kiss. 🥔 Pressed Potato Pavé – Crispy bacon + creamy layers + herby sauce = steak’s soulmate. ⚠️ REAL TALK ✔ Food = 10/10 (that tartare haunts my dreams) ✔ Vibes = Cozy chaos (Ossington’s "are we dining or in a crowd scene?" energy) ❌ Queue system = Savage (no list, just elbow your way in) 📍 Côte de Boeuf 130 Ossington Ave, Toronto, ON M6J 2Z5 #TorontoFrenchFood #NoReservationsJustPray #BeefTartareWorship
