Toronto Dining | π«π· Batifole
This charming French bistro is nestled in an... *interesting* location - right in East Chinatown. π 744 Gerrard St E π΄ The Story: - Operating for 21 years - Owner Pascal hails from Avignon, France - Started as head chef here π©βπ³ β worked elsewhere β returned to buy the restaurant - Now runs it as his own π Summer Bonus: Small but cute patio seating Our Experience: π₯ Pan-Seared Scallops with Chayote Just okay - nothing memorable π₯ Duck Confit (Main) - Duck leg + potatoes + pear - Sauce overpowered everything (too salty! ) - Noticeably missing veggies π§ Hanger Steak (Main) - Served with bone marrow & potato mille-feuille - Decent flavor combo (best dish of the night ) πΉ Final Verdict: Not mind-blowing for the price. Okay if you're nearby , but not worth a special trip. #Toronto #FrenchBistro #TorontoEats
