Fabulous lunch! Great service! I hadn't been since before the pandemic and Merlot was the same wonderful place. Can't wait to go again. Croque Monsieur was perfect.

I have been coming to this restaurant regularly with friends over the past 6 months and we love it! It’s our new go to. The staff is incredibly friendly, provides excellent service and the fresh, homemade food is consistently great and reasonably priced. It’s a cozy little restaurant with a definite French, European feel. Most, if not all, of the staff speak French and are indeed French. Eating there feels like you’ve been transported back to Paris.

Wonderful French classics in a cute space. Lots of gluten free options and excellent cocktails. Gets busy on a Friday evening.Food presentation is old school and simple.

Very nice atmosphere and good choices on the menu. Very busy at lunch and service was a little slow. Food was brought in a timely manner and was great tasting. Will definitely revisit.

This is for the downstairs portion of the restaurant. Excellent food. Friendly service, but waited long for food. Loud atmosphere.

You’ll find the traditional French favourites on their menu like escargot and steak frites, as well as interesting dishes like the “St. Tropez” fish soup ($15.50). The broth has a bouillabaisse feel spiked with more saffron and thickened with pulverized fish - personally, I would have preferred if the fish was left in chunks, so it’d feel less like eating savoury baby food.The texture improved once I dropped in bite-sized pieces of the toasted baguette topped with creamy rouille (a garlicky lemon and saffron aioli) and grated Emmenthal to each spoonful. Think of it as a lighter French onion soup that swaps out the onion for fish.If there’s duck confit ($32.50) on the menu, most likely it’s what I’ll order. Interestingly, the duck leg arrives with no sauce giving it a lovely rustic homemade quality. You can certainly taste the duck and without sauce the meat has nowhere to hide, it needs to be done perfectly to taste delicious. In this case, it was.Yet, it was the caramelized sautéed garlic potatoes that stole the show. Cooked in duck fat until a sticky and crispy crust forms, the spuds made me swoon with delight. Never swap these potatoes for fries.The meal ended perfectly with a shared slice of tarte aux pommes ($13.50). The thinly sliced apples sat on a bed of apple sauce and a perfect pastry crust. Likely the apple sauce helps to add moisture without relying on syrup, which keep the tart light. While there’s nothing wrong with the apple sauce, using crème anglaise or some sort of custard give it a richer element. And get rid of the fruit coulis, it makes the plate pretty but takes away from the lovely apple flavours.

I had a great time with my parents for our Business meeting. We had the fresh Fettuccine and the owner Francois was really nice to my parents and I. Will definitely be coming back! 5 stars in every category! -The American

The rooftop was excellent on a clear summer night. We could see the chefs preparing every dish in the open air grill. The tart tatin and coq au vin were delicious. The service was slightly slow but they were busy. A great night out!
