    We had a great mid-week lunch. A real bistro ambiance, friendly and professional service, and fantastic classic French dishes. Definitely the best burger we've had in Toronto with great crispy French fries. The creme Brule was good too, not too sweet and perfect texture
    Le Sélect BistroResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you, Shiri, for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We’re delighted you enjoyed your mid-week lunch, from the classic French dishes to the crispy fries and crème brûlée. Hearing that our burger is the best you’ve had in Toronto truly makes our day! Your kind words about the ambiance and service mean a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable meal. Callum Heald General Manager

    The service was good, our cocktails were lovely. The problem is the actual quality of steak they serve here. The steak frites was a bit cold, very stringy and not tender (the fries also came lukewarm). The half chicken was pretty dry, the server raved that it was very moist but honestly I found it to be a tad overcooked... Really disappointing considering the prices! Also when making the reservation I let them know we were coming to celebrate a birthday so I thought the server would at least mention the celebration and at most we'd get a dessert but nothing happened! Very strange.
    Le Sélect BistroResponded 3 days ago
    Dear Daniella, Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the service and cocktails, but I’m truly sorry your meal didn’t meet expectations. We take great pride in our food, so it’s disappointing to hear about the steak, fries, and chicken. I’ll address this with our kitchen team to ensure improvements are made. I also regret the missed opportunity to acknowledge the birthday celebration. We aim to make special occasions memorable, and it’s clear we fell short here. Please accept my apologies for this and your overall disappointment. I’d love to welcome you back for the experience we’re known for. Feel free to reach out to me at Le Select Bistro to share more or plan a return visit. Warm regards, Callum Heald General Manager, Le Select Bistro

    We came here because my boyfriend had said it's great food. We ordered the duck and bouillebaisee; the duck was overcooked and to.their credit it was removed from our bill. The biggest issue was the service. The waitress barely made eye contact and was just beey awkward in general. We didn't feel welcome and it was an uncomfortable environment.
    Le Sélect BistroResponded 4 days ago
    Dear Karthi, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience and that we fell short of the warm and attentive service we aim to provide. I’m glad to see our team addressed the issue with the overcooked duck, but I regret that the overall atmosphere and service didn’t meet your expectations. Your comments are taken seriously, and I’ll be following up with the team to ensure we learn from this and improve. I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide the experience you deserve. Best regards, Callum Heald General Manager, Le Select Bistro

    Service did seem slow. They jumped on us right away after just receiving the menus, but then it was tough to get them back. App and Mains seemed to take an inordinate length of time. It was busy (and noisy) with Swiftys, but you'd think they'd be prepared. Not our best Le Select experience, but it is a favourite spot, so we will be back.
    Le Sélect BistroResponded 4 days ago
    Thank you, Kevin, for sharing your honest feedback. I’m sorry to hear this visit didn’t meet the standard you’ve come to expect from us. We appreciate your patience during what sounds like a particularly busy service, and we’ll be addressing the concerns you raised with our team to ensure we’re better prepared moving forward. We’re truly grateful to hear that Le Select remains a favorite spot for you, and we look forward to welcoming you back for a much-improved experience. Best regards, Callum Heald General Manager, Le Select Bistro
