Food was delicious

Simply one of my favourite restaurants to go to for delicious food, the loveliest service and just a beautiful space to marvel at.We did the chef’s tasting menu for $80pp and the value of this meal is insane, many waistbands were stretched to their limits lolThank you team Florette, our group of 8 girls were so well taken care of!

Really great food, would absolutely recommend the chef’s tasting menu. The duck and ravioli in particular was great, and the cocktails were also fantastic. Great service and atmosphere as well, 10/10 would recommend!

I had a great dinner with a friend at Florette. Very cozy vibes and no loud music. Cocktails were incredible too. Only criticism is the plates are a tad small for the price. Still worth it, though.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Florette and opted for the Chef’s Choice menu—an experience that surpass all expectations.We indulged in 10 dishes and each one was a delightful surprise. The flavors were spot-on and the cocktails were delicious. We’ll definitely be back!

What a great Toronto gem! My husband and I celebrated an anniversary with dinner at Florette and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. As described by our server, there is no distinct type of cuisine and he recommended getting a few dishes to sample the menu. Every dish was extremely flavourful and the pacing between courses was timed perfectly. Highly suggest getting the bread and using it to soak up sauces from any of the dishes!It would be nice to see more than one dessert option, though the chocolate tart was decadent without being too rich. There's an extensive cocktail menu with a variety of creative options, as well as plenty of traditional bar rail cocktails and wine. Service was excellent and attentive throughout. It is a small spot with only a few tables and bar seating, so it can feel a bit tight/cozy. The atmosphere is lovely, not too loud, and the restaurant is beautifully decorated -- that ceiling!Highly recommend: marinated mushrooms, manila clams, swordfish, and rigatoni

Had a really great experience last night - bartenders were super fun, food was excellent, service was lovely, and ambiance was spot on. They have a really interesting drink menu but also made a great amaretto sour. We had the rigatoni, swordfish, clams, crudo and pork - everything was fantastic.

Came here for a date night last week and was blown away. We had the chef's menu and it was incredible - more specifically, the rigatoni alla vodka, clams, crudo, beets, everything impressed us. We loved the artistic cocktails and enjoyed how everyone who works there comes to the table at some point to engage with you about the many dishes we tried. Will definitely be back soon! Cheers Guys!

Went there last night, but I don’t think we’ll be going back.Atmosphere was good, although the restaurant is very cramped for space. We couldn’t keep our jackets with us, and the service insisted they hang them somewhere else to save space, I get it.The service was good, but we felt VERY rushed. Their sittings are not even 2 hours long so if you have a cocktail and a tasting menu be prepared to rush through all your dishes and eat dessert while paying the bill and having people waiting for you to get up and leave. For a $600+ dinner for four, we didn’t appreciate being rushed, and haven’t experienced this at similar restaurants. Maybe add 15-30mins to your seating times. We were struggling to finish the dishes before the next ones came.The veggie food was excellent and so were the cocktails, but they didn’t have my first two choices so I settled for a manhattan. The meats on the other hand were poor. There is no bone marrow dish anymore so don’t expect to get that, instead that dish was replaced with Pork Secreto with is basically the chewiest strips of pork fat that you’ll ever have. We sent ours back (we didn’t want a replacement), only to later be presented with another full dish of the very same pork we sent back.The sirloin was well cooked but needed salt, and I thought the duck was ok but the rest of the table disagreed, saying it was tough. We didn’t try the ribeye. Dessert was delicious but we couldn’t finish it because we had to vacate our table for the next guests.Overall it was an ok experience but maybe it’s designed to share only a couple of dishes and have a drink. Definitely not enough time to have a full tasting menu without feeling rushed.

Nice place but the storm drain pipe at the front isn't sealed which smells horrible and definitely ruined our time here.

Delicious food, great vibrant ambiance. Highly recommended. We did the chef's tasting menu, which was great value given the huge amounts of food we got. Every dish was fantastic and we all walked away stuffed.

Florette made our Valentines dinner truly a memorable one. We were served their pre-fixed Valentines day menu which was very tasty, every dish was really a 5/5. Service was phenomenal as staff was always attentive and regularly checked in to ensure all was taken care of. The place itself is very cozy, obviously the main focal point is the beautiful flower art ceiling which did not disappoint. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a date night or to celebrate a special occasion!
