" What a lovely little French gem in the heart of Toronto! Batifole offers a delightful menu packed with authentic French dishes. During my visit, I tried the pork cheek with a side of their famous frites. Both were delicious! The frites were crispy and light, and the pork was melt-in-your-mouth tender. The atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy, making it a spot I would love to return to. The service was attentive without being overwhelming, which made for a relaxing dining experience. Their desserts are a must; be sure to try the chocolate soufflé. I had such a delightful experience that I can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Batifole is a wonderful experience! It’s the perfect restaurant for anyone who appreciates quality food and a cozy setting. During my visit, I opted for the pork cheek, and it was one of the best dishes I’ve had. The sweetness from the glaze paired so well with the savory pork. Service was very attentive, and I felt genuinely cared for—which is a plus. Don’t skip dessert. I had the Grand Marnier soufflé and it was a fantastic way to finish my meal. Can’t recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Batifole is a remarkable find! The dinner menu boasted a variety of French classics that truly take you back to France's culinary roots. I can still taste their escargots, which were served with a delightful sauce that was perfect for dipping the fresh baguette. I also had the chance to try the duck confit, which was flawlessly prepared and paired with sweet, caramelized onions. The only downside was the wait for a table, but it was well worth it! Next time, I’ll be sure to make a reservation in advance. An unforgettable experience! " (*Curated Review*)
