    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.

    We’ve been frequenting Le Sélect for literal decades, and suddenly quality issues seem to have emerged. It’s the little things - the frites are no longer handcut and seem to be frozen, strange proportions of oil to fish, etc. Still a favourite place, but man, just raise the price of the fries and do it right.

    Incredible food and service. We’ve been a few times and my fiance is celiac and they’re always very accommodating but it feels like pulling teeth trying to find out what’s gluten free and what isn’t. It happens every time. A little bit more food and menu knowledge would go a long way in her being comfortable eating what’s brought to her.

    Reliably delightful, a classic French bistro with a traditional menu and a fabulous wine list. I’ve been eating there for 40 years and hope to eat there for decades more.

    Nice place. Drafty and cold by the window. Steak was a bit dry. Frites not quite awesome. Escargot were “chewy”. Service was good, but not seamless. Overall, a very nice dinner.

    The best onion soup. Like really good. Thought a French bistro would have white table cloths. Bench seats had rips in them. Good service. Had to grab waiter a bit but good when alerted.
