🇨🇦 PARQUET ｜ A Cozy Little Orange French Bistro 🍊

Tucked away on a charming street corner, this petite French restaurant stands out with its vibrant orange signage 🧡. The menu is fixed and relatively small, making it a dream for indecisive eaters—no endless scrolling here! Perfect for those who want a fuss-free dining experience with a touch of Parisian flair. 🍊 Parquet 📍 97 Harbord St, Toronto, ON M5S 1G4 Appetizer Sourdough + Chicken Liver Mousse — A massive portion, so be cautious if dining solo or in a small group! 😳 The mousse is velvety and slightly sweet, pairing beautifully with the tangy sourdough. But let’s be real… halfway through, the richness hits hard. We tapped out after 50%. 🥖✨ Small Plate Beef Tartare — Served with garlic aioli and pickled red onions, this dish is refreshing and zesty! 🌿 However, the beef alone had a faint gamey note—definitely needs those accompaniments to shine. Mains Mushroom Pasta — Al dente perfection! � Every bite bursts with earthy mushroom goodness. A solid choice for fungi lovers! 🍄💫 Duck Confit — Crispy skin, tender meat… but wait—it tasted oddly like Chinese cured meat?! 🤯 The fermented cabbage side was intensely sour (in a good way, though), cutting through the richness. Yet, the combo somehow teleported us to a Hunan eatery instead of a French bistro. 🦆🥬 Drink Sacré Bleuet! — The star of the night! 💙 A stunning, deliciously crafted cocktail that’s as photogenic as it is tasty. The only must-order item here! 🍸🌟 Verdict: The ambiance and decor? Impeccable. 🖤 The food? A middling 3/5—probably wouldn’t return or enthusiastically recommend it. Sorry, Parquet, but Toronto has stronger contenders. 😅 #TorontoFoodie #TorontoEats #FrenchCuisineToronto #TorontoDTDining #TorontoDateSpot #PARQUET #TorontoRestaurants #FoodieAdventures
