Marron Bistro — Restaurant in Toronto

I'll start off by saying I am extremely critical when it comes to food; especially in premium restaurants which charge a premium for good food....I expect only the best. When we first arrived the service staff were incredibly friendly and warm. I was able to bring my own bottle of Kosher Mevushal (pasteurized) wine for a moderate corking fee and offered a decanter for aeration. The appetizers were incredible. We had the spring rolls, something I typically am not crazy about, but these were clearly an exception. I ordered their 28 day aged chef's cut of prime rib and was also able to try the 6oz filet, which was incredible. Initially my steak, ordered medium, came back well done, and without me even having to ask, it was immediately noted by the waiter upon my initial cut and was taken back without hesitation. A new one was brought to me which was cooked perfectly and was extremely tasty. They use cast iron skillets to cook their steaks and clearly have knowledge of what a steak is supposed to taste like. One critique of the wait staff I would say is that they seemed to make errors regarding the menu items, but that is because the chef changes up the menu every day (another plus for me at least). Small things like (pecan vs chocolate cream for desert, and sous vide egg on the steak vs no egg). Regardless, for the inconvenience my table was offered complimentary strawberry cocktails and a complimentary desert. The deserts were fantastic as well.

Location: 9/10 Ambiance: 8.5/10 Service: 10/10 Food: 10/10 Value for what you get 10/10.

Price range: Mid to high.

I would definitely recommend to a friend and am looking forward to going back.

FINALLY, a kosher restaurant in Toronto which meets and possibly beats the levels of some of the "finest" kosher New York restaurants.

Thank you Marron Bistro, keep them...

Last night I sat down for what I think may have been one of the best meals I have ever had. Drinks!!! We had a variety these amazing fizzy cocktails, made on site. They were fruit based, completely organic, fizzy, and seriously delicious. On the table, we got these heavenly crisdpy sweet potato chips served with homemade salsa and guacamole. We got a beautifully presented charcuterie platter that I didn't try but our entire table was raving over it. Then we had this delicious grilled, ground lamb paninis with cucumber tehina, scotched eggs, and these crunchy house-made tostadas with pulled beef. I had the 10oz ribeye steak, and it was perfectly cooked, "chicago style" with a cured egg and these delicious thin hand cut fries... We finished off with a black current liquor which was fruity delicious and a perfect palette cleanser. We had a combination of a homemade made eclairs, mango gelato and the yummiest blueberry cheesecake I ever had. The food is all presented on these really cool wood or porcelain slabs and seriously looks like ART. The service was super professional, courteous, attentive and the experience was the epitome of...

Delicious French style Kosher meat restaurant. Service is excellent. Had some grilled shishito peppers as an appetizer. Generous portion and peppers were very tasty. A few were spicy but not overwhelmingly. The beef carpaccio was also excellent. We shared a rib steak and an order of lamb chops. The steak was excellent and perfectly cooked. The lamb a bit less so but still quite good. The dishes came with lots of potatoes in different forms. Would have been nice to have more vegetables on the side and less potatoes. The wine selection is limited and all wines are mevushal. So not many Israeli wines available. They would be better off getting permission to put a system in place to serve non-mevushal wines. Dessert was fine - could have been served warmer - and the bread wasn't as hot or fresh testing as might have been expected. The restaurant is quite expensive - in the range of $400 for two for this type of meal. But it is probably one of the best, if not the best options for a fine kosher dining experience in the city. And the service was warm, friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. Happy to go back for a...
