From the OpenTable editors: Casual French dishes are reimagined with Toronto produce and global flavors at this elegant Harbord bistro. Dig into cassoulet simmered in ramen broth made from local pork, and broccolini sauced with salsa macha. Or post up at the striking marble bar and make an evening out of oysters and Champagne.

Executive chef: Nicky Dao

The menu moves from bouchées and smaller plates to seasonal larger plates and steak frites. At the bar, cocktails, wine and a few plates can stand alone or lead into dinner.In warmer months, Parquet’s cedar-lined patio carries its relaxed style of dining outdoors.Parquet is recognized by the MICHELIN Guide.

    I always love the food and ambiance. Great time. However all three times I’ve been, I’ve felt incredibly rushed and told multiple times minimum 3 per service, I have a 2 hour seat time. Leaving me a little uncomfortable. Great for food. However if looking to enjoy a nice night out with friends to catch up and have drinks, this spot does feel rushed.

    Started with a French 97 cocktail, then shared leek croquettes, shrimp toast, mushroom galette, and triangoli, paired with a French Aligoté. Beautifully layered flavors and textures made each dish interesting and complementary. The interior is elegant, with a stacked bar and a dark, moody atmosphere that feels just right. A stylish spot and a really lovely meal.
    ParquetResponded on October 28, 2026
    Thank you, Tania. You’ve put a lot of care into describing your evening, and we really appreciate it. It’s especially nice to hear how well the dishes worked together. So glad you enjoyed your time at Parquet.

    We visited as a group of six and tried a variety of cold appetizers, wine, and cocktails. Everything was excellent, especially the fish crudo and tartare. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, and every dish was superb.

    We genuinely loved our meal here. Every dish I thought was excellent. I especially loved the shrimp toast which might have been one of the best things I’ve had in the city recently. The service was friendly and attentive, they weren’t the extra mile to put nice touches on our evening out. Really happy and will be back
    ParquetResponded on October 8, 2026
    Thank you, Damon. That’s high praise for the shrimp toast, and we’ll be happy to pass your kind words along to Jarret and the kitchen team. We’re glad you had such a good evening with us. See you next time.

    We have eaten at Parquet a couple of times and enjoyed both visits very much. The bar seating is very comfortable so even when a table is not available it is still a great dinner experience. All the food we tried was great and the cocktails and wines are good too. We will definitely return!
    ParquetResponded on October 8, 2026
    Thank you, Scott. We’re so glad you’ve enjoyed both visits, and especially pleased to hear that dinner at the bar has been such a comfortable experience. We look forward to having you back.

    Wonderful experience, food & service both outstanding. Great atmosphere, lovely room. A little on the loud side is my only criticism, but honestly nothing out of the ordinary for Toronto restaurants.
