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.
