Cafe Renée - Toronto

“This place was definitely the spot to hang out after dinner downtown! The staff members were very welcoming and treated 13 of us like family, shout out to Cathy for helping us out with what is great on the menu. I ordered the escargot, jar of pickles, old fashion, lychee Martini and it was just all so good. If you are looking for a bar that doesn’t have a line and is lowkey this is the place for you and a partner or a large group of friends.”

“I had a truly enjoyable and well-rounded dinner experience at Cafe Renée. Every dish we tried from the menu was excellent in its own way, and overall it was a very balanced evening. The Ravioles du Dauphiné were incredibly light and delicate, prepared like a true French classic. The Caesar salad was fresh and well balanced simple, but very well executed. The steak tartare was one of the standout dishes; the quality of the meat and the balance of seasoning were perfect. On the seafood side, the crab spaghetti was very impressive light yet full of flavour. The mussels & frites were exactly as they should be: fresh mussels, a delicious sauce, and perfectly paired with the fries. The Blueberry Bramble cocktail I had was also excellent refreshing, well balanced, and a great complement to the meal. The atmosphere is stylish yet comfortable, and the service was very professional. From start to finish, it was a high-quality and enjoyable experience. I’ll definitely be coming back.”

“Amazing place, the food is delicious and the service and atmosphere is great. We visited the place within Chef Josh still there and he was wonderful, came to our table to to talk about the food making the experience unique. The pasta was just cooked to perfection, all the flavours were perfectly balanced, the food arrived fast and hot and the drinks were always delicious. I hope we can come back soon.”

“Went to Cafe Renee for a birthday dinner and had a great experience overall. The vibe was really nice and the space is super cute, especially the patio. It is a bit tight inside, so seating can feel a little cramped. The food was good. There were some mixed opinions around our table depending on what people ordered, but overall everyone enjoyed their meals. Prices are pretty standard for restaurants in the area, not cheap but not unreasonable either. One thing to note is that it gets very loud. It wasn’t the music, just the number of people talking, which made conversation a bit difficult at times. Overall, a lovely spot with a great atmosphere and worth checking out.”

“the atmosphere and marble is chic! Good for pictures and girls brunch, the patio in the back allows natural light into the restaurant. server was friendly and made lots of small talk!🫶🏼 wish there were more interesting brunch menu options- because everyone ordered the same thing, and the potato pancakes and salad were over-fried and oily for a “nicer” brunch spot. the blueberry pancakes were as expected and good for sharing. also no cinnamon for coffees haven’t tried the dinner menu yet but heard good things about the espresso martini and pasta”
