🇨🇦 Toronto Duck Lovers: Don't Miss This Duck & Truffle Risotto!

❗️Note: This is the Cabbagetown L'avenue—not the one at The Well! 📍 L'avenue on the parliament 583 Parliament St, Toronto A charming, old-school French bistro that's been flying under the radar for 3 years—a true neighborhood gem. 💎 🍽️ Why It's Special: This European-style restaurant blends French, Italian, and Greek flavors. The menu has everything: pizza, pasta, steak, seafood... but I came for the duck & truffle risotto and left obsessed with so much more. 🌟 Must-Try Dishes: 🐌 Les Escargots 6 plump snails served with buttery, golden brioche. Pro tip: Squeeze lemon over it! The snails and bread are so tender, you won't know what's melting in your mouth. 🍝 Spicy Angel Hair Pasta with Tiger Prawns Ultra-thin noodles (almost like Asian vermicelli) with jumbo, bouncy shrimp. Not for al dente lovers, but the spicy kick is addictive. 🦆 Duck & Black Truffle Risotto The STAR of the show! Tender duck leg (between confit and braised), crispy skin, and generous truffle shavings. Every bite is rich, earthy, and unforgettable. 🍊 Orange Grand Marnier Soufflé Made to order—wait 30 mins for this cloud-like dessert. Not too sweet, with a bright citrus tang that steals the show. Why You'll Love It: ✅ Cozy, unpretentious vibe—like dining in Paris 🥖 ✅ Duck risotto = life-changing 🦆✨ ✅ Perfect for date nights or solo indulgence 💕 #TorontoFrenchBistro #DuckLovers #TruffleHeaven #CabbagetownEats #FoodieHiddenGems #NoPretentiousDining
