Best Contemporary French Restaurants in Thornhill

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left everything was perfect. Our server Kenny was wonderful, he was informative and entertaining. All the dishes were fantastic. It’s a beautiful space. We had the Valentine Day fixed menu and it was the greatest steak I’ve ever had in my life.  I will absolutely be back to try more from the regular menu. Bravo Lapinou.

Very French, skillfully decorated. Small room - only 10 tables - but not crammed too close. Noisy if you're hard of hearing; sound comes from people having a good time, not house music. Valentines Day fixed menu had plenty of delicious choices. 4 courses for $98 was very reasonable. Servings were generous, imaginative and nicely presented. Servers were helpful and attentive; allergy question handled nicely. Quite a young crowd, it seems. Certainly would come back.

Parquet is a great bistro with very competent service, a delicious menu and thoughtful and very approachable wine list. I can strongly recommend the steak frites and the duck confit. Unlike many restaurants the noise level was fine. No one at our table had to yell.

The food was exceptional as well as the presentation. Our waitress was lovely and they made our anniversary special with an anniversary card and dessert plates that had Happy Anniversary on them. A very nice touch.

We came for a birthday celebration. We had some caviar and champagne to start which was excellent with nice presentation. Everything was really sweet the whole way through and we enjoyed the experience thoroughly. Only note was when it came time to get our coats, the host was gone so I asked a woman in the office/coat room and she seemed a bit inconvenienced by my request to receive our coats back. Not quite hospitable. Everything else was excellent.
