    I have never had a bad experience at Le Selecte Bistro. I was there on Boxing Day to celebrate my mother’s birthday. Tony, our server was very attentive and was knowledgeable about which dishes were or could be made gluten-free, as my mother has celiac disease. The food was great, particularly the duck confit. The large party next to us was a bit noisy - it was a busy night - but we had a wonderful time. I look forward to my next visit.

    Enjoyed another excellent Christmas dinner with my family. The prix fixe menu had options to please us all. We all enjoyed our cocktails and appetizers. The mains including the perfectly-cooked venison, dover sole and turkey roulade were flavourful with tasty sides. Desserts were nicely presented and delicious. Dennis gave us the most warm and attentive service and we appreciate the welcoming reception we always get when we dine at Café Boulud.

    We came with our family just before Christmas during the Christmas Market time. The restaurant was busy but not overcrowded. we were welcomed quickly and shown to our table. We were a large group -7- but our table had plenty of space and was not cramped. Our food arrived quickly and all of us enjoyed our food. My son-in-law loved the Beef Tartare and the Oysters. He had some concerns about recent evidence of tainted oysters in other locations but our waitress was able to explain which types of oysters had been gained and to reassure that none of those oysters were served at Cluny. The Black Cod en-Papilotte was also described as delicious -spicy but not too much, interesting. Two of young men had Flat Iron steaks and pronounced them perfectl! Cluny felt like a special place to dine and they did not disappoint . A very enjoyable meal in a lovely setting.
