Stopped in today for a absolutely delicious, roast beef dinner. The meat was tender, mashed potatoes, fluffy and creamy, vegetables fresh and crunchy. I found the service amazing too! Attentive and caring. Atmosphere, quiet. I loved it there. I look forward to going back soon!

Really great find for a Sunday brunch. I just happened to be walking by and took a chance. Don't judge a book by it's cover. When you open the door, you'll be surprised just how large and nice the ambiance of this diner / restaurant is. I was pleasantly surprised by their menu. They are a great substitute for the defunct Flo's Diner in Yorkville. Great western selection of omelettes, eggs bennie, pancakes and other familiar brunch dishes. Good seating for singles, couples and big parties. Open patio area that let's the room breathe. I ordered a unique eggs benedict (crab cake). It was large and you can't order half size. So, if you're like me, you will want to order a dish that you can eat the next day. I wasn't too keen on the salad for breakfast as I'm traditional and the mixing of hollandaise sauce with my garden salad and fresh fruit. However, the portion was worth the money. Overall a good experience and I would come back to try other dishes.

Happened upon this place purely by scent, and decided to follow my nose. I couldn't have been more right: had the Curry Seafood Linguine, and it absolutely blew me away! The curry sauce was light flavored and well balanced against the fresh seafood, which was generously portioned. The shrimp was flavorful, the scallops were a good size, and the fish doneness was perfect. The linguine was softer than al dente but paired well with the sauce, and even the garlic toast was amazing and buttered on both sides! But mostly, the staff were attentive and amazing...I didn't need any help, but they were extra attentive of the seniors, helped support them on their way to the door, and helped others order a ride. This level of care is rare and definitely to be applauded! Food was also so good I ordered something to go as well. Was very glad I decided to drop in!

Brunch here isn’t too bad especially with a party of 4 or less. The service was pretty straightforward and food was okay. Not outstanding but alright in a sense that what you order is what you get. You are also supporting a local business when eating here so that’s a plus.

We had the best experience here! The atmosphere was awesome! Had such a buzz. Our server Mike was incredible! So cordial and friendly! The portion sizes are huge! The food had such amazing flavour! This is the first time I didn't finish my breakfast (too much food)! We will definitely go back when we're in town again. Thanks!

We wanted to pick a nice place for our anniversary....great food but not really pricy. We wanted a friendly and pleasant atmosphere.this is what we found at Cherie Bistro! Food was excellent, service was a perfect mix of attention and giving us privacy. We had the Sunday Roast Beef and found the portions to be generous and the taste was a delight. The smaller Yorkshire puddings were great for getting several tastes together on your fork. We saved a little room for desert and it was worth it because the homemade bread pudding and crème brûlée were perfectly plated with fresh fruit. a perfect evening!

This place is located in a real nice spot and the service was fantastic. I had the Bree and it was not for me, it came with a salad topped with French dressing. I have not even seen French dressing since my teens and it taste as I remembered. The Bree was flat and the coating was not for me. I’m not saying it’s bad I’m saying it was not for me. I had the gumbo and it was delicious and I ordered lasagna to take home. My experience was enjoyable and I would recommend this place to sit a have a good Meal.

I recently had the unfortunate experience of dining at Cherie Bistrot, where I ordered the mushroom risotto. While I was expecting a delicious meal, what followed was far from enjoyable. Shortly after my meal, I began to feel unwell, and it escalated into a night of throwing up. I suspect that the quality of the food may have been compromised, as Ive never had such a severe reaction to a dish before. It s disheartening to spend a night in discomfort. I would strongly recommend the restaurant pay more attention to food quality and safety for the well-being of their customers. Be cautious if you decide to eat there! Mushroom Risotto to avoid

We visited during the Pride parade. A very busy day that didn t deter our excellent server. I really appreciated he didn t blink an eye when two of us asked to share an entree. And, no problem with separate bills. Menu selections are relatively few but my friend enjoyed her Spinach Feta Omlette and I liked the chicken, avocado bacon BLT. Fries mediocre.

We stopped on a rainy evening and the atmosphere was really inviting and cozy. The food was fresh and tasted wonderful. My spouse had Fettuccini that was topped with fresh salmon and shrimp. I had the Mediterranean which was a pasta with sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, fresh zucchini and onions with a savory Marinara sauce. Topped with fresh ricotta and garlic bread.. wonderful!! Had a nice Merlot to go with it. Finished with a strawberry cheese cake. Service was super fast and really pleasant. We strongly recommend this lovely place in the heart of the Church street neighborhood.

Went here on Sunday May 14th at around 7:30pm, stood at the door for 10 mins waiting to be seated on the patio nobody came so we decide to sit down at a table. A female waitress eventually came out giving us attitude for seating ourselves as if we broke the law, we explained to her we waited to be seated but nobody came she threw down some cutlery and waters while giving us the death stare and the worse attitude and vibe Ive ever seen. We immediately just got up and left she was so unwelcoming. You need to train this female server who was working around 7:30pm May 14th on the patio because she will cause you to lose customers, we come here every Sunday during the summer and will not come back while she is working. Fix her attitude!

December 21, 2023

We ordered through Doordash. I had the roast beef dinner. It looked and sounded great. It was supposed to be shaved prime rib on top of mashed potatoes in a large yorkshire pudding with a side of peas, gravy and a mustard horseradish sauce. Nope. What I got was shaved beef and lumpy mashed potatoes, gravy, two mini Yorkies (like you can buy at M&M Meats), frozen mixed veggies (overcooked and a cheap mix of frozen beans, carrots and peas), and a small ramekin of regular horseradish. Misrepresented and cheap replacements instead. Big bait and switch. Worth about half of what they charged. Wont order from Cherie Bistro again.

We went for dinner this Saturday night. Service is rough; Food quality very poor, they serve you pasta with 1 little (Not a joke VERY little) slice of breed if you want more the waitress literally scream at you IS EXTRA! And guess what? the extra is another slice of breed as the one the pasta came with. Not costumer service skills whatsoever. What a joke of a place

Cherie Bistro in the heart of the village is an absolute delight, & Im thrilled to share my experience with this lovely restaurant. Ive become a regular patron, & for good reason. The charm of Cherie Bistro lies not only in its quaint atmosphere but also in its menu, which caters to breakfast lovers like myself with a serving time until 3 pm daily truly a dream for those who appreciate a leisurely morning meal. The versatility of the menu extends to lunch & dinner, offering a range of options for various tastes & preferences. The small yet charming outdoor patio is a highlight, providing a perfect spot to enjoy a meal while taking in the vibrant energy of the village streets during the summer. Its a wonderful setting for some al fresco dining, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the overall experience. Inside, Cherie Bistro is a fantastic space for hosting larger gatherings. My run club has hosted several post-run brunches here, & the accommodating atmosphere & attentive staff have made each occasion memorable. The interior exudes a warmth that enhances the communal dining experience. While the gluten-free options may be limited, I have always been able to find delicious brunch choices that cater to my dietary preferences. Additionally, the meals my partner, who is not gluten-free, has enjoyed are consistently delightful, showcasing the restaurants commitment to delivering quality dishes for all patrons. Cherie Bistro has become a go-to spot for me, offering a perfect blend of cozy ambiance, tasty food, & a welcoming environment. Whether youre seeking a leisurely breakfast, a casual lunch, or a delightful dinner, Cherie Bistro in the village is a hidden gem that I highly recommend exploring. The charm of this restaurant and its ability to cater to various occasions make it a standout choice in downtown Toronto.

I love this place! They have a very pleasant, cozy atmosphere. The staff is great, and above everything, the food is amazing. The meal is well served, portion is large for one person, and the price is fair. I recommend the Chicken parmigiana which is my absolute favorite, its one of the best in town.

Four of us stopped in for dessert and coffee. The restaurant is in a convenient and central location. When you walk in youll notice that the decor is very nice and everything seems very open and inviting. The cheesecake and chocolate cake were both delicious and the coffee was great. But the star was definitely the server that took care of us. I can honestly say that Ive never experienced such amazing service in my life and I would give 10 stars just based on that. I hope the restaurant realizes how lucky they are to have someone that obviously loves what they do and knows how to treat customers. I cant wait to go again to try the food because the menu looks great and prices seem very reasonable.

The daily soup was surprisingly great value and super flavorful. I was a bit disappointed with the Bacon Carbonara since, in my opinion, it missed the mark in comparison to other carbonara dishes Ive had. For the price I would have expected egg yolk and some Pecorino Romano.4 stars overall because the daily soup was delicious and they gave me an extra garlic bread.

Usually Cherie Bistro has great service, however, this past visit the servers were too preoccupied with other goings on. It took far too long to get the cheque. Food quality was poor as the pasta had the texture as if it was old/reheated. This is not normally the case as their dishes are usually delicious. Maybe they were just having an off evening.

Their fish and chips is great. The staff are friendly. Theres a pretty nice patio, but it gets full really soon so you have to be early to find a spot in the patio. The pastas werent as good as you would expect. And its a little bit pricey to be honest. But overall, I think its a good place to go with your friends or on dates.

This place is the worst Ive ever been. First of all,the AC wasnt on which was really hot that day.We have been wating the waiter for a 20min but no show.Even we asked other waiter,they ignored us or said something excuse.However we realized they did to us because we are asian?Because other table has taken the order by some waiter.But a lot of waiter said to us Im not server for this table or just ignored even when I raised my hand so high and they took the order right the next table which made us so Disappointed.Never go back and they made us feeling soooooo bad ever in canada.Ild like to ask whos the maneger?maybe you should train them not to resist at least.

Had such a wonderful breakfast there while I was on vacation. It was a stressful morning due to the mass internet blackout, but the waitress was absolutely delightful and friendly. I wish I remembered her name, but she had fun colored hair. The food was good too and the place was clean. So glad I popped in on a whim.

I don t typically eat brunch, but I tried their poutine from the brunch menu on a Sunday and was pleasantly surprised. It was a different take from the usual style of potato fries, but all the components of a poutine were there and worked well. The service was great as well. I would definitely like to come back for their lunch/dinner menu.

To start with: fantastic service. I unfortunately didnt get my servers name, but he was friendly, professional, courteous, quick, and checked in often. It may have helped that I was here on a Sunday morning and the place was not particularly busy, but the service was exceptional all the same. The food was also delicious. Well-balanced portions and a mix of different food groups to keep the meal both healthy and satisfying! The fruit was fresh and the greens were well-blended for a good mix of flavors, and the home fries and omelet I ordered were both outstanding. Highly recommended!

great takeout meals, just like eating there. Update Oct 16/2022. The great service and food has kept us coming back frequently. After tonight we decied we wouldnt go back until next summer when we are able to eat outside. There was a patron whose voice was so loud she could break crystal. Others were giving her annoying looks but she was oblivious. We were at the other end of the restaurant from her and we had to shout at each other to be heard. We eventually moved outside as eating in the cold was preferable. Management needs to give soume thought to a few noise reducing applications; wall hangings....anything at all would help.

Seems like a pretty great addition to the village. I have only been on Church once since covid began so I didnt know Cherie Bistro. The food was good, the prices were good, the service was good. All 4 of us went for the roast beef & Yorkshire pudding w/mash & a mountain of peas. Great comfort food. Fortunately I was hungry because they load the plates generously. Other dishes going by also looked delicious. A nice Sunday evening dinner for old friends in a convivial atmosphere.
