About the Restaurant

On Torontoโ€™s east end, Auberge du Pommier offers an escape to a French cottage. The space feels so much bigger and spacious than the outside suggests, and the white glove service for caviar alongside the champagne experience elevate the French cuisine to a whole new level. An authentic, wood-burning fireplace is lit every winter day to offer guests a cosy, welcoming atmosphere that maintains its upscale elegance, the very atmosphere guests have treasured since 1987. It was built around the vestiges of two cottages from the 1860s to create a sophisticated take on country charm. It is subtle yet romantic, making guests feel like theyโ€™re dining in an upscale restaurant in Paris after a day spent being pampered at the spa, a mood only enhanced by the summerโ€™s lush, floral terrace. To dine at Auberge is to continue the pampering. The expansive wine list features offerings from France and beyond, complementing classic fare that includes pรขtรฉ en croรปte, a dish crafted from Hudson Valley duck and foie gras, dried fruits, pistachios and port wine gelรฉe; and bisque de homard, comprised of poached lobster tail, claw meat croquette, heirloom carrots and clementine. The eateryโ€™s specialty, its piรจces de rรฉsistance, include a seared foie gras and shaved truffle noire, served by the gram. โ€œIn this industry, I believe getting to the top is one thing, but staying on top and maintaining that reputation and consistency year after year is the real challenge,โ€ says executive chef Doug Penfold. โ€œI'm honoured to be part of a team dedicated to a high level of culinary excellence."
