Details & Description
For 30 years Brownes Bistro has been a staple in Rosedale. Cherished by the neighbourhood's affluent denizens as well as lovers from all over Toronto, this restaurant's satisfying and sophisticated fare is what keeps its quaint tables in high demand. A classic bistro menu pays homage to all things
French, including fresh creations conceived daily. Warm hardwood, oak paneling and crisp linens create an unmistakably European ambiance, while an excellent selection of wines will have you reaching for obscure adjectives in no time. With its hospitality and its low-key locale, without a doubt Brownes Bistro will be around for another 20 years. See more text

Wonderful evening at Brownes Bistro, because of the refined elegant atmosphere, the wide selection of Italian and Continental cuisine and professional service. We really loved our evening out and Brownes Bistro was a big part of that. Thank you.

Absolutely amazing little restaurant tucked away...

Absolutely amazing little restaurant tucked away in the heart of the city. It was an adventure for the senses. Site - Very calming, romantic, decor with lots of wine accents. Sounds - Eclectic background music and pleasent sounds of people enjoying their meals. Touch - Warm decor with bench seating on the walls and very comfortable seating for the other person. Smells - The incredible aromas of other patrons dishes to keep you second guessing your original order!!! As I was walking out of the restaurant; the smell of everyone elses dishes made me want to come back after a jog around the block to burn off my dinner. Taste - Ahhh.... Best for last.... Incredible combination of spices and original tastes of food.... They do not use over powering sauces to smother the tastes of the meat or vegetables. Just an amazingly clean taste to the pallet. Overall, a very well managed restaurant!
