Café Crepe
Watch the white-clad chefs deftly ladle the crepe mixture onto smoking hotplates then swirl it into delicious browned discs using a nifty wooden spatula. Sweet and savory fillings taste as good as they smell - try the coconut and banana special (around C$7 ). There are booths at the back, or crepe-escape onto the streets.

Jov Bistro
Divining its name from the initials of its chef-owners, sassy JOV Bistro is a neighborhood space for independent-minded foodies. Dinner and weekend reservations should be made in advance, but the forethought is worth it, especially for witty French reinterpretations of classic seafood dishes. You'd be best served by taking the chefs up on their 'Trust Me' four-course dinner (around C$70 ; wine pairings extra).

Joy Bistro
The most recent venture by chef David Chrystian, Joy has a joyous park-side patio or fabulously stripy bench seats inside. Order from a menu emphasizing traditional meat dishes with French overtones (duck confit, Manitoba pork belly, slow-roasted lamb shank, etc). The wine list is impressively global, and the service impeccable. They play Jeff Buckley downstairs; upstairs is a bar called Over Joy (ha-ha).

Scaramouche
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, do you do the fandango? Lording over a hilltop south of St Clair Ave, this classy restaurant offers top-notch modern French cuisine with a dash of tasteful invention, and views through tall oaks to the downtown skyline. Porches and Beamers swing into the circular driveway; don't forget your gold credit card. Benvenuto Pl is off Edmund Ave, which runs west off Avenue Rd.
