    Portion sizes were just right. With the famed coconut Cream pie, made me full. We had the following Bread and Hummus for Two, Oysters, Peppercorn Fettuccine, Halibut and Coconut Cream Pie. The food was prepared very healthy, low sodium, textures and taste were excellent. Thank you Chef! Service and staff amazing. I recommend.

    Simply outstanding!!! Felt special on numerous occasions throughout the evening. Started with valet parking. Brought my own high end Cab that was decanted. PEI oysters were some of the best I ever had. Grilled octopus was delightful. Duck with braised cabbage was a perfect medium rare. But the star of the show was the filet of venison - super tender and full of flavour. Ended with the best coconut cream pie Best ever!

    FOOD (menu has changed): • Duck: absolutely amazing, I'm so surprised with the idea of using mustard green. It adds a hint of "asian" to the dish. This bring me back to the "mom's homecook" flavor. The sauce is beyond delicious. • Fillet Mignon: portion is tiny, it's about 3 bites. This one is good but not that great. • Foie Gras Terrine: the texture is to hard and thick, too smelly for a foie gras. I did not like the idea of sprinkle salt on top of the brioche, I guess to kill the smelly flavor of foie gras but it didn't work so well. And it destroys the flavor of brioche. • Ricotta Ravioli: creamy but ravioli get hard after a some time. Nuts in every dishes, I don't feel like they really belong to this dish. But overall pretty good. • A meringue & red orange dessert: I didn't have much memory about this. Taste almost like ice cream. • Coconut Cream Pie: This's claimed to be the best selling. Not a big fan of coconut but it's good! The coconut flavor hit at first bite, together with rich taste of cream and white chocolate. SERVICE: I feel heavy vibe dine in here. Staffs are not so friendly and look a bit annoyed since I stepped in. I constantly questioned myself what did I do wrong. ATMOSPHERE: I really wish it was not ground floor, as the view outside the window is really nice. Very formal vibe, I had to keep my voice very low to not break the quiet environment. Overall not a very comfortable experience.

    Best fine dining meal I have had in about 8 months (including all the other Michelin Star restaurants I have visited during that time across North America) This place deserves a Michelin Star or two. Glad to have come by after about 5yrs. We will be back before end of the year for sure. Gnocchi with black truffle was fantastic. Lamb was very tasty. Couldn't stop eating the Coffee Semifreddo Dacquoise. Almost ordered 2nds because my wife almost finished mine after her Milk and Honey dessert.

    Ate there last night as a goodbye meal from Toronto with two of our friends. Wish I knew this restaurant before so I could taste the amazing food before... Where to start? The perfect service? Our waiter, Don was absolutely amazing, attentive to any of our wishes , we were guided to a perfect bottle of wine by the wine specialist, now to the dishes: The appetizers, we had the humus and *2 (as it was so amazing) the Gnocchi Parisian. All the mains were superb. I had the Scallops were the best I had in my life, the chicken was devine, and our friends took the fish and the steak and said there were in their top 5 dishes ever. There are no words to describe the desserts (coconut pie and flowerless chocolate cake) who made a sweet ending to this wonderful experience. 12/12 in Zohar ladder😉

    High quality food. Everything was done really well. However nothing knocked my socks off in a way that I would tell my friends to go check it out. We had the scallops, lobster and seafood risotto, burrata appetizer, romaine lettuce, and tuna tartare. Sides of fries. I will say that the service is amazing. So kind, accommodating, and friendly. We were seated in an area we didn't like and asked to be moved and I fully expected some confrontation, but they were very nice about it and got us a much nicer table. Overall a very high quality restaurant.

    Everything was fine with the service and quality of the food. Famed coconut dessert cake was good. Didn't give full star because nothing stood out in terms of flavour, again it's still good and the atmosphere matches the menu and pricing. Still recommend.

    A perfect evening with near perfection service and accompanying dishes. A must go-to restaurant. The venue is beautiful In the winter and I’d imagine even more beautiful in the summer. We were quickly seated to our table and our waiter provided the best service I’ve ever had. His attention to detail was impeccable. And it sets the mood for an enjoyable evening. As for the food, you can’t go wrong. It’s a dynamic menu that changes and is focused so I’m sure picking any dish will be good. Both of our entrees which were duck and bison was cooked to perfection as you can see from the pictures. And the desert was quickly cleaned as soon as it arrived. This is definitely in my top 10 of restaurants to go to globally.

    Scaramouche is such a special place. It’s an elegant dining experience, where every detail is attended to. Everything we ordered was delicious and the service was exceptional. A perfect spot for a special occasion and an amazing meal. The oysters were fresh, the tuna tartare was excellent, the scallops were very well cooked and had beautiful accompaniments and the steak was perfect.

    Dinner at Scaramouche a few weeks ago. Every aspect of this restaurant screams perfection and attention to detail. In my opinion it’s one of the best fine dinning experiences you can have in the city, without having to take a second mortgage on your home. The price points are extremely reasonable and fair for the quality of the food, service and overall experience. In some respects it’s a throwback to a different time period when you were made to feel special and not rushed through dinner so the table can be flipped. There is a Michelene acknowledgment at the front door. Dinner picture below was fantastic. Very dish. The noodles with beef and bread crumbs. Very hardy and extremely tasty. The lobster and scallops dishes exceptional and every appetizer was memorable. Deserts are pieces of art and delightful. The service is impeccable. This place is famous for its coconut cream pie. And it was great however, the other deserts were just as good if not better. If you are planning for a special night out, this place should be high on your list.

    Indulging in a culinary masterpiece at Scaramouche, where French and Italian flavors blend in perfect harmony. 🍽️ Enjoying fine dining with a view that's as spectacular as the dishes. We ordered the best from Appetizers, Entrees and Desserts.

    There’s a reason my parents have been coming here annually for their anniversary the last 15 years. The food is not only beautifully plated and decadent, but the Toronto skyline view from inside the restaurant is lovely, the wait staff are all knowledgeable and kind, and the interior is sophisticated and warm. We were a group of 5 with varying food orders, and we were all happy with our dishes. There is also complementary valet parking, where you pull up to the roundabout and are greeted immediately by the valet. The resto itself is tucked into the corner of the condo building. Highly recommend for an upscale dinner celebration!

    Absolutely delicious. We got the olives, beets, and ravioli for app. Duck and lamb for main. Honey milk for dessert. Ravioli, lamb, and dessert were particularly excellent. All elements of the dish served a purpose in either cleansing or enhancing the palate. Great service too - was not slow and did not feel rushed. Definitely give it a try!

    When the GPS took us to the location , we were a little confused of where Scaramouche was due to it leading us in a condo complex. However, once you park on the curb for thee complimentary valet parking, you will see the entrance on the left corner of one of the condos. It’s highly recommended to make a reservation as we came on a weekday dinner, and it quickly filled up (I’m not sure if they even do walk ins!). There is a complimentary coat check right at the entrance if you’d like to leave your jacket behind, and the restaurant will be down the stairs. At first our host placed us in a dark spot for the two of us, but luckily we were able to ask our server to give us another seat by the dining room with the opened windows. It made a huge difference as the wall was blocking the windows, which meant there wasn’t any light, and felt off as it was by itself on the wall. The opened window room gives diners a beautiful view of Toronto - so if you can, try to get a seat there. We tried a couple of items on the menu, and the highlight for me were the Sea Scallops. It’s very apparent they use fresh ingredients as the scallops were tender, juicy and not as “chewy” as frozen scallops. If you enjoy scallops, I highly recommend ordering this dish on your next visit! IG: Ayenomz

    We reserved for an early dinner, didn't realize it was underneath a building, was a bit confused when we arrived. There is a valet person out to guide you! They provided complimentary valet, which was great not having to look for parking. We were seated immediately and the view was beautiful. Food was great with large wine choices as well. The atmosphere is really nice and the staff are welcoming and ensures you have a good experience.

    A wonderful night in Scaramouche. We reserved the seats next the window which has the view of downtown- the view is breathtaking! Our waiter is terrific, the dishes and wine he suggested are great, and he managed to serve the wine perfectly with 5 of us. You barely felt his movement the whole night, very professional. I had the duck, which is nicely cooked, the taste is just right for all the ingredients in my plate. And the best part is the dish is carefully designed to balanced the tenderness, creamy, sweet and salty, and crunchy together. I usually can’t finish the main course since we ordered a lot appetizers, but I almost leaked the plate for this wonderful dish. It is a memorable night, nothing to complain except the tempo of ladies bathroom is a little bit cold on that night.

    What a fantastic evening! Scaramouche really perfected things on our last visit. The food was truly incredible. The flavour combinations were creative and perfectly balanced. The service was impeccable. Timing on the food and drinks was masterfully orchestrated. Truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve enjoyed this year. It had been a while since I’d been back. It won’t take me as long to return!

    Absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Started off the night with complimentary valet and coat check. Ordered the Yellowfin Tuna tartare and oysters as our appetizers. Both were phenomenal! Then next up we’re the lobster with seafood risotto and the lamb shank. We did not want our meal to end! Then ended on the famous Coconut cream but where they added a candle for my partners birthday. The whole experience from start to finish was perfection. One of my favorite dinning experiences in Toronto.

    Scaramouche knocked it out of the park and went above and beyond. The maître d' Ian handled my reservation for engagement proposal. He got me the perfect seat, he recommended a fantastic florist and had everything prepared for when I walked in. He handled my engagement proposal routine and prompted all the right cues for me to take my fiance to the balcony where I proposed. Ian filmed it and took photos. Andrew was my waiter, he was fantastic. He was attentive, funny, and not overbearing. Incredible knowledge of the cuisine and pairing. My fiance and I adored his service. Everything he recommended was delightful. He took photos of us throughout the night. On to the food. It was delightful, everything was so amazing, every flavor complimented each other. Andrew ordered all the appetizers and courses for maximum taste and appeal. I could right a whole book about my experience. However, all I can say is this is my best dining experience to date (August 2021). Everyone should try this place at least one time.

    One of the very nice restaurants, we have been so far to! Everything we ordered was flavourful. The service was extremely good. Waiters were very kind and friendly. And Yes, as per other review, best place if you want to have, over the dinning table conversations. Very nice wine 🥂 A great choice for special occasions.

    Get out of here! Scaramouche knocked it out of the park. Great food. Great service. Great environment. My wife and I came here for our anniversary. We didn’t tell them about it, but they overheard us talking. So when they brought over the dessert, they wrote Happy Anniversary on the plate with chocolate. How attentive is that? Amazing experience. I read through a bunch of negative reviews of Scaramouche, and none of them actually have anything to do with the food or service. They seem to reflect an individual having a bad day rather than their experience. I loved it here! Go here for a special occasion, or a regular one. It doesn’t matter.

    Probably now my 4th time at this restaurant. The presentation, the taste and the service, everything is always spot on. From this visit, the foie gras, the beef fettuccine and the coconut cream pie were our favorite dishes....the halibut dish, especially its sides was slightly underwhelming.

  • 5/5 Shabnam M. 3 months ago on Google • 109 reviews New
    We haven't visited Scaramouche in several years but decided to go back and we were not disappointed. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful and sophisticated. The wait staff were attentive and friendly. The star of the show was the food. Everything was exceptionally tasty and absolutely perfect. I have not a single critique. One of my favorite places!

  • 5/5 Joey T. 3 months ago on Google • 95 reviews New
    We came here for our anniversary and it was a great experience! We ordered the romaine hearts, cured salmon, lamb shoulder and pork. Dishes were flavourful with unique accompaniment. Great option for special occasions! Our waiter was also very attentive! 5🌟

    We chose this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. And it was a great experience. So much attention from our waiter, he was professional and knowledgeable. The food exceeded our expectations, and let me tell you. The filet mignon is one of the best in Toronto. Only Don Alfonso can compete. The cut was extremely tender, cooked to perfection (as ordered, rare), chicken was very tender too. The coconut cream pie is delicious! And the chocolate cake was so good as well, had many textures and elements in it. The atmosphere is so cozy and high end, it felt like a restaurant in Paris. They have a wonderful view from the balcony, if you are lucky enough, they let you go and enjoy it for some time. The only downside was that it was our anniversary and my partner mentioned it in the reservation notes, but no one acknowledged it. A simple “happy anniversary!” would do :). But that’s my only complain. Beautiful, wonderful dining experience. Definitely recommend ♥️

    On the day we dined, they had a special of rack of lamb which was definitely one of the best I’ve had. The sea bass lived up to the great reviews as well. We ordered several appetizers to share and our server made it easy for us to share by bringing the dishes out 2 at a time.

    Never would I have expected a restaurant on the lower level of a residential building off a side street of Avenue Road to have a gorgeous view of the city. Each dish is beautifully plated and the flavours, thoughtfully combined. On top of that, the service is phenomenal.

  • 5/5 Dee R. 2 years ago on Google
    My partner took me here for my 70th birthday. As usual, the food is excellent and the service is something one will never experience anywhere in Toronto. We have gone to a lot of high end restaurants and nothing compares with Scaramouche. Ian always acknowledges us on our arrival and since the pandemic has closed the restaurant for a while, he was very happy to see us again. It's always a pleasure to dine at Scaramouche. It NEVER disappoints!

  • 5/5 Lindsay F. 2 years ago on Google
    We went back to Scarmouche. Nice evening during Covid epidemic. Staff were all wearing masks. Tables were distanced and best of all food was great! We actually sat on the Patio . Lovely view of downtown Toronto. I had the rack of lamb it was lovely. I highly recommended this place.

    Scaramouche is our favorite restaurant for family reunion and celebration. The food and service is always outstanding. Thank you Scaramouche for maintaining your standard of excellence in dining experience all these years.

  • 5/5 Gregg P. 2 years ago on Google
    Hands down the best fine dining experience I've ever had!! I've been several times, and it just keeps getting better! To be recognized by the staff after not going for a couple years was incredible! We felt so special! Not to mention the best food and view in the city from the dining room! Honestly, I've never tasted better food. Everyone should be so lucky to experience the incredible food and service here. The perfect place for any special occasion, please do yourself a favour and after one visit you'll be hooked! Thank-you Scaramouche family for everything! :)

  • 5/5 Jane H. 8 months ago on Google
    Classy and comfortable. The food is delicious and a feast for the eyes. It is an ideal special occasion restaurant; you can hear your dinner partner and enjoy a beautifully paced meal in an low-key elegant setting.

  • 4/5 DJ 2 years ago on Google
    Went for my birthday. Service was friendly. Food was great, I enjoyed every dish. Portion sizes were a touch small for the prices. Our table was against a wall with no view or natural lighting which I didn’t love but otherwise it was a great evening.

  • 5/5 Amanda M. 2 years ago on Google
    I am writing this review even before my food gets here! Andrew was kind and accommodating, while Kevin instantly made us feel at home. The ambience in the evening is like no other and I am sure the food will be divine. Definitely recommend. Update: lamb was tender and moist, my husband’s duck was tender and flavourful.

  • 5/5 F W. 1 year ago on Google
    Pro Tip: Valet parking is included and the entrance is unmarked. When you arrive at the condominium, enter the roundabout and look/wait for the valet at the condo roundabout. Must try if you’re in town. This place is a Michelin Gourmand Bib but on its way to a star for sure. Every little bite was perfect and kudos to the pastry sous chef Shienita for her amazing talents and she even came out to take a picture with me!

  • 5/5 Jonnhy99 10 months ago on Google
    One of the best restaurant experiences ever thanks not only to the Fantastic food but the wonderful service from start to finish by all the staff. No wonder they have been around for decades. Perfect place for those special.

  • 5/5 Megan W. 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely one of my favourite restaurants in the city. It’s been around for so long for a reason! Wonderful city views, incredible service and in my opinion worth every penny for the experience. Please never take the peppercorn fettuccine off the menu!! I have a tree nut allergy and they are able to accommodate this famous dish for me by not adding the pine nut crust. It is one of my favourite things I’ve ever eaten here and a must try if you come.

  • 5/5 El C. 5 months ago on Google
    Probably one of the best French restaurant in Toronto. Service was notch. Lots of variaty on the menu. Food was great. The restaurant also got a great view of DT Toronto, and Valet parking just add a bounce!

  • 5/5 Johnny B. 2 years ago on Google
    Not a fine dining expert by any means but the food was awesome. Not overly salty and portions werent too skimpy. The flavours were layered and nuanced. Ordered the Quebec Chicken and the Peppercorn Fettucine, both rich and tasty. All the staff were super nice and our waiter (Andrew K) was very knowledgeable and polite. Fast valet parking and coat check - both free. Pretty great view too.

  • 5/5 Breanna M. 1 year ago on Google
    Being trying to have everything go right on my anniversary for more than three years now and I'm so glad it finally did thanks to Scaramouche. I do the reservations for my husband and I read tons of reviews on the place and it was an absolute dream come true. My husband is an arvid stake eater and if he likes a stake... it's definitely good. In his own words, "he'd never had stake quite as good as this before." With Scaramouche, it's not just the food that's great, the ambience too is absolutely wonderful. The waiters are kind, we get our corner to ourselves, and we enjoyed our meal in peace. I love, love, love this place! and I'd be back in a few months again 100%

  • 5/5 Tenisha P. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! Took my husband here for his birthday. He is a Red Seal Chef and was impressed with the food and ambiance. We had great service and really enjoyed our meals. LOVED the peppercorn fettuccine, tuna tartar, shrimp and lobster salad, and lobster risotto. It was all fabulous!

  • 5/5 Janis W. 1 year ago on Google
    Every course was absolutely fantastic! Our server Andrew reminded me what it’s like to have a fine dining experience. He paced our meal perfectly so that we could watch the city as the sunset. And don’t miss the coconut cream pie!

  • 5/5 Johnny D. 3 years ago on Google
    Ordered takeout tonight for a birthday celebration at home. Dining here is always a treat - and the quality of the food impresses again as takeout. No where like this place in Toronto - a must try dining in when they’re back but for now , enjoy the takeout.

    Dined at Scaramouche to celebrate my anniversary. I was a little bit concerned about how well dining would be during COVID-19, but Scaramouche did not disappoint. The service was impeccable and our server was wonderful! I ordered the Salmon and my husband ordered the NY Sirloin; both were cooked perfectly to our desired temperature. Our sides of mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts were also tasty. For dessert I ordered the chocolate mousse, which was also delicious. We will definitely be returning here in the future.

  • 1/5 xieyi x. 3 years ago on Google
    Highly disappointing. The entree portions are really small. The duck for two are basically 2 legs with beets and lentils. Calf liver is two small thin pieces of liver and risotto is the size of an appetizer. Our family are not big eaters and found the portions too small. Called the restaurant, and they basically said that is what they offer in a very unsympathetic tone. We have ordered from Canoe, Alo and other similar caliber restaurants before. All are way better. Will definitely stay away from this one.

  • 5/5 Jennifer S. 3 years ago on Google
    I literally go back for the peppercorn fettuccine for my birthday every year. I think one time I got a different pasta which was also delicious but honestly the peppercorn fettuccine is to die for. I usually get the romaine heart salad to start, and their pecan bread is amaaaazing. It's also a beautiful and classy place, typically an older crowd rather than a trendy scene. While it is pricy, the portions are generous (I often have leftovers). Can't wait to go back post-pandemic!

  • 5/5 Eliza F. 3 years ago on Google
    First it's in a condo off a side street of a quiet section of Avenue. The entrance is also very unassuming. Inside is cozy and quiet but still busy. You can talk comfortably. It's not super fancy or flashy which I like. Not pretentious or hipster at all :). It just feels ... comfortable! Like a place you'll take your parents when they visit.

    Since we couldn’t dine in person, takeout was the next best thing and it did not disappoint. We opted to order from their market menu (with an order of fries for the drive home) to ensure our dinner was piping hot. The ordering process was easy and pick up was seamless, we were actually really late for our pick up time due to a protest on Bloor street and the team kindly made us a fresh order of fries since ours were cold from sitting out too long. Everything was packed really well, and instructions were easy to follow. In addition to the fries, we also ordered the cannelloni (packed frozen which we will have later this week), duck confit for 2, and sticky toffee pudding. The food was delicious, tasted just as I would expect if we were dining in, and generous portion sizes. We have not dined out since before March and to have a meal of this quality at home was such a treat! We were too excited and forgot to take pics. We are already looking forward to ordering again over the holidays.

    Enjoyed a wonderful evening with their excellent service and delicious food. This is what it means fine dinning to me. Their complementary valet parking is very thoughtful especially when it rains. Recommend to everyone for special occasions, birthdays and anniversaries. Definitely will come back again.

    This review relates to two elements of this top priced Italian. The service is fine indeed and to be highly recommended. The other is the coconut cream pie which is to die for. If you eat nothing else this year .... eat this.

    At the first moment you step in this restaurant they give you a good feeling. Very warm waiters, it is a friendly restaurant to enjoy with friends and colleagues or with your date. Great cooking, specialist chief cook and stuff, modest pay and excellent service. Warmly recommended.

    I started my meal with an appetizer serving of the Gnocchi Parisienne . I love a well prepared gnocchi, and Scaramouche did not disappoint. The gnocchi was rich and buttery, the chanterelles were a perfect pairing for the truffled mushroom reduction, which was to die for. recommend

    In the dynamic culinary world in Toronto, where so many restaurants open and close their doors, Scaramouche Restaurant is an institution that has graciously withstood the test of time. Nestled in a quiet residential street in leafy South Hill, the restaurant enjoys a privileged view of the downtown core; while not as dramatic as the views from the 54th floor of TD Tower, the view is still a lovely backdrop to exquisite meals. Upon arrival, complimentary valet parking is available for patrons. A set of stairs leads us down to the dining room, with a subdued but pleasant elegant decor. In the time of coronavirus, Stage 3, protocols are in place to ensure the safety of guests. For amuse bouche, we were offered a lovely refreshing tomato gazpacho, rich in wholesome flavors. It reminded me of an appetizer I enjoyed many years ago at Scaramouche; it was a corn soup, but while you might think "corn soup at a fine dining restaurant?", let me assure you that the kitchen had taken such a seemingly pedestrian dish and elevated it to heights that I was not expecting. I started my meal with an appetizer serving of the Gnocchi Parisienne (seasonal mushrooms, thyme, garlic, summer greens, truffled mushroom reduction, crispy Parmesan wafer). I love a well prepared gnocchi, and Scaramouche did not disappoint. The gnocchi was rich and buttery, the chanterelles were a perfect pairing for the truffled mushroom reduction, which was to die for. For my main I opted for the classic Grilled Filet Mignon (Ontario AAA beef, sauteed mushrooms, French green beans, crispy pressed potatoes with parsley, garlic and lemon, Bordelaise sauce). The dish was competently executed, the filet mignon was perfectly cooked, and the pressed potatoes were very nice in terms of texture and flavor. The only issue is that it was noticeable that the dish sat for too long under the heat lamp, and by the time it was served, it was overall lukewarm, instead of having been served hot. I finished the meal with a Scaramouche classic, its famous Coconut Cream Pie (coconut custard, Chantilly cream, white chocolate shavings, dark chocolate sauce). The custard is filled with coconut, topped with a light Chantilly cream; the white chocolate shavings add a creamy richness to the dessert, while the dark sauce enhances it with a chocolate punch. Service is professional and attentive. Our server, Andrew, has been with Scaramouche for many years and makes sure that patrons needs are taken care of. Regular and vegetarian menus are available. Please be advised that bread is a separate charge, which in my personal opinion is poor form for fine dining establishments.
