Come savor an appetizing dish at La Societe. They are open at night all week and are easily accessible by public transit but also by bicycle. The neighboring location is memorable for its parks, restaurants and stores.
When Toronto’s high society craves French Bistro cuisine, they head to what has been Toronto’s go-to spot since 2011: La Société. Toronto restauranteur Charles Khabouth opened the bustling restaurant in the heart of Yorkville with the same commitment to service that is on display at his other successful ventures like CUBE, Cabana Pool Bar and Bisha Hotel Toronto. Charles also works with ICONINK CEO Hanif Harji on joint ventures including restaurants like FIGO, Patria, Weslodge and Estia.
“We try to make sure every person who comes in to dine with us gets the best service and experience we can possibly give them,” says chef Andrew Wilson.
La Société caters to the specific needs of those who work and visit the area. “At lunch time, we need to be more cognizant because people need to be in and out,” Andrew explains. “You see a big change in the two services. Lunch is very quick, everybody needs their food within the hour to get back to the office. Dinner is more relaxed. Somebody can be here for an hour or they can be here the whole night if they want.”
The champagne selection at La Societe originates in Mediterranean countries, which should give you an idea of what the brunch menu is like. The brunch has all the standards, including pancakes, quiche and a lobster BLT. Brunch is served on weekend mornings.
A casual yet chic Parisian eatery, La Société is a marriage of Canada’s most cosmopolitan city and Parisian bistro style and cuisine. The combination offers a dining destination unlike any other in Toronto. For Winterlicious, the menu includes kale salad with anchovies, preserved tomatoes and Grana Padano; steak frites with Bordelaise sauce and house aioli; and a lemon curd verbena granite with torched meringue and a graham crust.
