a month agoWe went here to try their winterlicious menu before the offer ended. I got the mushroom soup, steak frites, and apple clafoutis. We also ordered their beef tartare which isn't part of their winterlicious menu (really good btw!). The food was great, but I enjoyed their steak frites the most! I like the soup, however, I was expecting it to be a little more hot when served, but still tasted good. The apple clafoutis was great, but I find it a bit dry. Our overall dining experience was okay, although the service was quite slow as we found ourselves waiting for about 15-20 minutes to place our order. Still willing to come back next time to try their other course.

2 weeks agoWe loved this place! Recommended by a friend, I was eager to try Maison Selby and it did not disappoint! It was a very good experience from start to finish. We went for brunch to celebrate both of our bdays. I got raspberry pepper mojito 4/5. My husband got a matcha latte, 1/5. Tasted like green tea, and not like matcha at all. You can tell by the colour as well (way too light!) I got the omelette, 5/5. The eggs were delicate, flavourful and just a beautiful way to start the day! Asked for potatoes on the side, and it was a great choice. Nice and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Sauce was amazing! 5/5. They even brought out hot sauce which was really good! My husband had the avocado toast with smoked salmon, also 5/5 for taste. We opted to share the waffle for dessert, and that was divine! The waffles were light, crispy and airy. The apple oat crumble was the perfect topping, and the syrup was light. I am dreaming about having this again. Giving it a 4/5 because we were seated by a side table in the middle of the room, and water dispensers were on the table so I felt like I always had to watch my back and couldn’t fully relax in my seat. Our table was too small so we couldn’t have all our food at the same time, and we wanted to have a savoury + sweet brunch. The vibes and aesthetic of the restaurant was 100/10 for me. The washrooms are so cute, but needed cleaning. Our server, Lilou, was very friendly. She made great recommendations, and came to check on us several times which was appreciated. It would have been amazing if they offered a kind gesture for our celebration as we’ve experienced at other restaurants, but I guess it’s not a thing here. We’ll be back for the food and hoping for a 5/5 experience next time.

a week agoTucked away in a beautifully restored 19th-century mansion where each room hides a unique charm. Maison Selby, Toronto offers an unforgettable lunch/dining experience. The decoration is amazing with a stunning marble bar that takes you to another era. The menu includes classic French dishes with modern twists, featuring exceptional plates. We came as family with kids at a time when only the brunch formula was served, but the manager gracefully went and talked to the chef who approved to serve us Steak Frites in addition to their amazing French Onion Soup, and crepe madame, which we enjoyed very much. The service made by Rachel is attentive and warm, Maison Selby’s charm and culinary excellence is highly recommended and make it a must-visit destination in Toronto.

The food was absolutely delicious—every bite was perfection. The mimosas were delightful, and the Caesar was sharp and full of flavor. The atmosphere was fantastic, creating the perfect setting for an enjoyable meal. Highly recommend this place!

2 months agoCame here for winterlicious. We had a really good time. The service was very friendly and welcoming. The staff were attentive and didn't make us feel out of place at all, or as if we were bothering them at all. The food was really good and rich. We appreciate the waiter helping us choose which foods would agree with my wife's lactose intolerance. The space was decorated very quaintly and nicely. Bathroom clean. They give you that postcard at the end with is cool... Big ups Maison Selby
