Crepes a Go Go
No pictures because it won't be as appetizing, and really doesn't do the place justice.
A small little Parisian cafe, at the corner of Yorkville and Yonge Street. It's a sign it may be authentic when the owner and everyone who works there speaks French. Even some can't speak very good English.

They serve breakfast from 7:30am-10am on weekdays, and open from 10:30am on weekends. This small place has few seating, but their crepes are easy to take with you.
They have a great variety of crepes. The Parisien has egg, smoked salmon, dill, mayo and red onion. Today I had the Big Ben Extra. (extra =" scarmbled egg") Raseberry Jam, Brie and Egg. It was AMAZING. I wouldn't think it would all go together.
They also serve some pastries in the morning. Fresh from a French Bakery. I found out where, and now I must visit. I just had the half of danish I saved from breakfast and it was crisp, flaky and flavourful. I don't think I've had any better.
Their crepes are cooked fresh, with the perfect thickness, and never under/over cooked.
I could totally inculdge here. I love everything about the place.
You can also call in and order ahead and pick up, rather than attempting to find parking.
I don't know a better Crepe Place in Toronto. I think it beats out the Crepe place on Queen st (but still good)

Came here with my parents for a psuedo thanksgiving dinner, Oct 10, 2009. Surprisingly it was easy to make a reservation via OpenTable tonight. Good view if you sit to the east. Although I still hate the crystal and it's awkardness, the high ceilings make the room spacious, and the glass windows give the room light. There is a lounge area, that was empty, but seems like a nice place to have drinks and dessert. It wasn't busy at all, but maybe because we ate at 6pm and finished around 8pm.
They have appetizers to share. A set of vegatables, or meat, or chachuturie, or seafood. Each around $15 per person. we didn't try it.I ordered the Rack of Wild Boar. The menu says glazed with Coffee, Pancetta risotto with raisins. The meat was not as tough as I thought it would be. It's seared sides actually was crispy and full of flavour. The risotto was creamy and tasted yummy. It was a good portion and filled me up just enough.
My mom got the Squab and Foie Gras. She's a sucker for the seared liver, and it was good, but a very small portion, because it's so pricey. Served on top of a polenta. It wasn't really that filling at all, but it was very good.
My dad got the Pan Seared Halibut. It was tender and very flavourful. That green thing on the side was like a spinach puree.
Apple Whiskey Baba
Crab Apple Sauce, Cider Jelly, Salt & Pepper Gelato, Squash Leaves, Maple FudgeIt was really interesting.
Crab Apple Sauce (more like a cake) is the round thing
Cider Jelly is the pink maple leafs
Salt & Pepper Gelato on top like ice cream
Squash leaves were crispy and the golden things on the right
The Maple fudge is the crunch bits in the middle
As the night fell, the place got REALLY dark, and took a long while to adjust. Not sure if they can do something about that.
I would recommended, and the best part is that AFTEr dinner, we walked around the museum... free! (Well no one stopped us) And the gift store was still open!

Came here again for dinner on a late friday evening. Altho it was already fall and we had our leather jackets on, we still sat out on the patio. We ordered an amazing wine and shared a cheese platter to start. I couldn't resist ordering the Spicy Mac and Cheese, again, while Arun had a burger of some sort. I can't remember if we got dessert, but we did end up going to the Cheesecake place down the street.
This place is still one of my favourites in the area.
