GASTRONOMIE It may have taken a Meryl Streep movie to remind the rest of the world about the joys of French cooking, but Toronto gourmands never forgot. Ask virtually any city insider and you’ll learn that Pastis Express sets a high standard with pure bistro fare and the bonhomie of owner Georges Gurnon, while a Parisian charm pervades during lunch, dinner and a lauded weekend brunch at Le Sélect Bistro. The oft-changing menu dégustation at Didier puts the award-winning skills of chef Didier Leroy front and centre. In Old Town, Le Papillon on Frontearns bon notes for its savoury crepes.
