Scaramouche Restaurant

I was planning to go here for a very long time as I have heard so much about it and they did not disappoint, portions are perfect and very tasty. I definitely recommend, it’s a great experience specially if you’re sitting near the southern windows.

Our godfather treated myself and my brother to a wonderful dinner at Scaramouche Restaurant. The food was fantastic. Starting with appetizers such as two orders of homemade Sourdough Bread & Hummus and some Artisanal Dry Cured Ham with Belgian Endive, Celery Heart, Roasted Delicata Squash, Pine Nut Relish, & Chardonnay Vinaigrette. Three entrées: our godfather had the Québec Duck Breast with Citrus Braised Red Cabbage, Beets, Roasted Pearl Onions, Maitake Mushrooms, Beluga Lentils, Foie Gras Jus, & a Walnut Crumble. My brother had the Roasted Chicken Breast with Grilled Broccolini, Mushroom Farro, Golden Chanterelles, Spinach, Natural Jus, & Chimichurri. I had the Beef Short Ribs with Parsnip Purée, Citrus Braised Charred Belgian Endive, Brussel Sprout Leaves, Parsnip Crisps, Gremolata, & a Rich Natural Pan Sauce. We finished the night with four orders of dessert: two orders of their famous Coconut Cream Pie: Coconut Custard, White Chocolate Shavings, Chantilly Cream, & a Dark Chocolate Sauce. An order of Chocolate Torte with Dulce de Leche Ice Cream, Caramelized Bananas, Banana Purée, & Chocolate Crémeux. Finally, my personal favourite: Milk & Honey. Milk Sorbet, Crispy Milk Wafer, Wildflower Honey Mousse, Bee Pollen, Honey Glaze, & Oat Crumble. Overall, the food and desserts were very well balanced and executed beautifully. Perfect Sear on the Duck, Rich and Tender Short Ribs, velvety smooth and sweet Parsnip Purée, and the desserts were all incredible! The ambiance was nice, and the view was spectacular. This hidden gem serves up some French classics with modern twists, inviting their customers for a casual fine dining experience to remember. The Michelin Guide has this wonderful restaurant as one of the top French restaurants in Toronto, and rightfully so. 10/10 recommend. My only criticism was that the service wasn't where it should've been. Our main server seemed quite frantic. Rushing us, not properly highlighting the menu items that we asked about and giving poor descriptions. Not asking us if we have any allergies and overall subpar service. The lady who checked in on us a couple of times was a lot better.

The service, the wine and the meal were exquisite. Everything from the hummus and bread to the roasted duck and the foie gras, cooked to perfection and a symphony to our palettes. Our entire party was delighted with every dish!

I went here for my birthday dinner on a Wednesday night. It was empty at 6pm but when the night went on all the tables were filled up. The service was spectacular but where we were seated, we didn’t have a view. We were seated next to the bar and there was a wall blocking us from seeing the view. The scallops were scrumptious, the sweetest and freshest scallops I’ve ever had. I highly recommend it!

So wanted our experience to be 5 stars as it was our wedding anniversary... felt that the service and food were very good but not exceptional...waiter never introduced himself so we had to ask his name half way through our meal ...coconut cream pie was good but given the rave reviews expected better... tuna app was fantastic as was the peppercorn beef tenderloin pasta... duck was perfectly cooked too... would consider going back but at price point there are many other restaurants we might choose to try instead. But again enjoyed our meal

First time here and was disappointed with the service. Waiter did not top up our wine glasses...had to do it a majority of the time. Water was not refilled often enough. Waiter didn't advise us to order more of the same appetizers as we had a large group sharing. Wasn't very helpful with the menu. The sofa bench was uncomfortable..the middle section dipped in. I guess the cushioning needs to be replaced. Overall food was quite good. Ordered the lamb chop and it was very tender and not very gamey. Had a bite of the lobster and was delicious. Overall disappointed with my experience.

Went for my anniversary is it was such a great experience. The food was excellent, the vibe and ambience was just right with a nice Toronto skyline view and lighting, and the service was on point (not too much and right on point and timely). The food was absolutely delightful and Instagram worthy. Must really comment on the lamb and coconut pie. Highlights of the night. The lamb is a must try and the best I’ve ever had. Same for the coconut pie, especially as I am not a pie nor coconut lover. (Got the pie for takeout)

I recently dined at Scaramouche, a traditional Parisian restaurant, and found the experience to be exceptional. The food was absolutely excellent, and the service was equally impressive. The servers were knowledgeable, friendly, and very quick to respond. The view was breathtaking, offering a stunning perspective of the city landscape. Although the prices are on the higher end, they are fitting for such a high-end restaurant. It's important to note that there is no parking lot available, but valet service is provided, and the restaurant doesn't have obvious signage.
