    Walking in at 7pm on a Saturday of a long weekend, the MIDI Bistro was empty which honestly made us take a moment and think about eating there but WOW! are we ever glad we stayed. The space could stand to have a bit of a refresh but really you aren’t going there for the atmosphere … go for the food! We had the pâté and onion soup to start followed by the lamb and risotto. Everything was so well prepared and delicious. We ended with the Brûléewhich was silky smooth. Go! You won’t regret it!

    An Uncut Gem It's a small bistro restaurant not far from AGO. Nothing posh or fancy, but extremely nice and friendly service and great food with more than reasonable prices. Home-Made Pork and Chicken Liver Pâté with Gherkins was good, but another appetizer - Sautéed Escargots with Portobello mushroom in Cognac & Basil cream sauce - is simply fantastic! It's much better than standard butter & garlic recipe for escargots, that I cannot compare to any other even much more expensive restaurants in

    Great service and great food. We love the duck confit with blueberry, very tasty. We also love the escargot - they put a lot of escargot into the dish, I would say double the amount you get from other restaurants. Quiet place, will visit again.

    The duck didn’t taste fresh. It tasted like a reheat. The restaurant is tired. The tables and chairs need upgrades.

    A piece of Paris in a busy city. You could transport this gem to Paris and it would fit right in. Try the salmon with cinnamon coating and you will be hooked. Small but excellent wine selection and a menu with a French flair with very reasonable prices. Our hostess/ owner was lovely and welcoming as evidenced by the lunch crowd Make reservations so you won’t be disappointed. Merci for a lovely place for my best friend and I to catch up. The prices were

    Food was really not very good. We had the mussels, and they were not very good, for what was supposed to have been all these fabulous broths. Not worth bothering with.

    Considering the price, this place isn't worth it Veggies and the dessert are nice, but the mains are disappointing. You'll be able to get a better deal and better experience within a block. The lone waitress was very lovely though, working hard between all tables. It'd be a 1 star all round without her.

    Transport yourself to Paris when you visit this intimate bistro near the AGO. Short, easy walk from TTC. Perfect for a casual lunch or romantic dinner - probably breakfast too. The menu, typically French, is perfect, healthy and reasonably priced. We had a very attentive, courteous and friendly waiter and there was no noisy music to disturb a conversation. Merci - À bientôt!

    It was by far the worst "French" cuisine I've ever tasted. The restaurant has run out of 25% of the menu. And to add insult to injury everything. Every dish was demoralizingly bland, and the service was rushed. Save yourself, and don't waste your time nor money.

    Terrible food. Pate very cold (looks like it was purchased from Loblaws). French onion soup was bland. Broth tasted like beef broth from a carton. Very few onions. House salad was fine. Atmosphere lacks. Plastic tablecloth-gross! No music in background. This place is not what it used to be. Very disappointed. No resemblance to a French bistro. More like an Indian restaurant trying to be French. Sorry to say but that's the truth!

    It was okay . Not the best French bistro food though . Nice environnement and the waitress is good . Also disappointed that I couldn’t choose meals on the menu . There was just a fixed price course with choice of different meals but still… not that I wanted to eat .

    Reservations for 2 - Winterlicious 2023. My other half (ongoing health issues wasn't feeling great but being his birthday, wanted to give it a try. Arriving at MIDI, I could tell the evening would be too much for him. I suggested takeout instead, he agreed. The staff at MIDI were wonderful, understanding, accommodating and helpful and suggested menu options better suited to takeout. All things considered, MIDI helped make the evening a success.

    We enjoyed the Winterlicious lunch menu. It was delicious food. I had seafood risotto and my friend had the seafood fettuccini. Both dishes exceeded our expectations. The crab cakes were an excellent appetizer. The service was excellent from start to finish. Overall, i would recommend the restaurant.

    Terrible, I will never go back Escargots - likely reheated but not even served hot. Tepid and tasteless Duck: poor thing; died for nothing; overcooked, dry, likely the cook's kid was asked to help out; mashed potatoes stabbed with 3 sticks of carrots, surmounted by 3 asparagus in a tower like shape. Ridiculous and a shame from French cooking Creme brulee.. I've done better myself. The whole thing was like a pre-heated dinner; no way it was cooked from start; everything was served within minutes.
