Born from the Chantecler fire tragedy in 2019, Le Phénix has emerged as a token French gem in Parkdale. It set out to honour old favourites while giving the former Chantelcer team space to experiment with new seasonal dishes. Le Phénix had their soft open on January 17, 2020, and regulars flooded in. Since then, Le Phénix has launched several new seasonal dishes that have become wildly popular. The ever-changing menu is accompanied by an extensive cocktail program, helmed by mixologist Marta Sess.
Formerly the Indian snack bar IST Eatery, Le Phénix’s long corridor begins with small tables on one side and a bar on the other, eventually opening up to bigger tables and one low open-facing booth for larger groups. Exposed brick walls and crates of records bring an unassuming yet chic vibe to the warm dimly lit space that can accommodate 48.
