Tried this restaurant for lunch. The clientele is mostly corporate people, which makes for a nice atmosphere. The food was very good, & the service was solid as well.
We had the burrata & tomato & the smoked salmon as starters, followed by the grilled tuna & salmon tartare as mains. Everything was delicious. I would definitely go back.
Street parking is available, but spots are limited.
VEGANS can choose from gnocchi with mushrooms & pesto (as a main), fried cauliflower with mouhamara sauce, or Brussels sprouts (entrés).
Comida excepcional, com destaque para a entrada (pedimos couve-flor frita com tzatziki). O robalo frito estava absurdamente bom e minha irma amou o ponto do polvo. Vale muito a pena pela comida e os vinhos também estavam com bons preços em uma grande variedade.

Un succulent fish'n ship pour moi, une pièce de viande délicieuse pour ma douce. Service impeccable. Beau choix de vin. Un peu bruyant. Nous y reviendrons asurément. ♥?
Excellent service, nos repas était délicieux & magnifiques, & les prix sont raisonnables pour la qualité de l'expérience. De plus, les produits sont saisonniers & locaux! Nous voulons définitivement y retourner.
Ambiente raffinato, accogliente e intimo. Il servizio è gestito in modo meraviglioso e impeccabile. I cocktail sono fatti da basi fresche e preparati ad arte. Il fish & chips ha una frittura super leggera, digeribilissimo anche per chi ha lo stomaco delicato, viene servito con insalata di cavolo (buonissima), salsa tartara ed una mousse squisita.
Très très très heureuse de cette découverte. Le serveur/ sommelier Jean François était très connaisseur, il nous a bien expliqué chaque plat & pouvais répondre au questions même plus poussé. Le menu est recherché & basé sur des produits locaux & saisonnier. Un menu simple, mais raffiné. La présentation était magnifique & le mariage de saveurs était vraiment réfléchi. Les balance des saveurs y était vraiment. Pas de faux pas ! La pieuvre & le calmar cuir à la perfection & étant sous vide il y avait des saveurs subtile & des notes bien intégré. Le risotonétait délicieux & original & l'entrée de croquettes d'agneau parfaitement exécuté. Leur menu change j'ai hâte de découvrir les prochains plats. Nous sommes vraiment ravi nous reviendrons ! Merci !
We went to Le Carré in January 2026 for a girls night out of 3 & had a such a nice expérience. Food was delicious, service super courteous & kind, & we much appreciated the recommendations of the sommelier. Would definately go back again.

We ate here as we were staying in the hotel & had been travelling all day. We arrived early (5;30 ish)& were able to get a table, but it filled up quickly so a reservation is probably a good idea.
The waiter did a nice job serving us in English & provided a detailed description of the cordon blue for my husband. He enjoyed the dish & it was well presented & tasty.
Quite enjoyed our dinner, would return.
Since Le Carre is attached to a hotel, I expected a corporate style restaurant, but was pleasantly surprised to see they arent afraid to serve good food with an interesting twist.
The calamari & salad were solid starters, & the pea & leek soup was fantastic. The sea bass was quite impressive with a lot of sour notes-almost too much but I appreciate the unique flavor. They nicely split the octopus for us. The streak was tender & I highly recommend the duck pasta.
Desserts were nicely plated & garnished: I wasnt sure what to expect with the brownie but it was rather crispy & elegantly plated. The creme brulee was nice & thin & came out flaming.
Service was good throughout the night, & the interior is small but elegant.
I feel like I died & went to heaven!! Upon entering, I knew this was going to be a dining experience like no other!! The ambience & decor was tasteful, modern, beautifully decorated & very elegant! I love the turquoise wall & the gold finishes!
The menu was extensive, I would have picked everything on the menu (as they all sounded delicious)!!
We started off with cocktails, which were garnished & presented so beautifully!!
We had the Scallops ceviche, the burrata & the beef tartare...OMG!!! Soooo pleasing to the eye, & palate; delicious!!
My main was the fresh pasta with duck confit (first time having duck confit)...I was in food HEAVEN!!! So savoury, so delicious, so creamy, the pasta was fresh & cooked to al dente; the peas were sweet & the cream was flavored beautifully!! so tasty, so yummy!!
The service was impeccable; very attentive, & efficient! This dinner was an absolute pleasure! I just wish I could go there every night (however, I had to come back to Toronto! :(
Went to Le Carré for lunch with a friend. It was a first for both of us & we were wowed with every dish!
Not only was the food delicious, but the extra touches on the presentation made everything that much more enjoyable. We started with the Grilled Halloumi, followed by the Duck Confit Pasta & Seared Gnocchi & Mushrooms, all generous portions of perfection on a plate. For dessert we went with the Amaretto Mascarpone & Crème Brulée, both amazing.
My friend & I reserved for lunch at Le Carré & what a treat it was. Food wise we shared the grilled Halloumi entrée, had different pasta dishes & dessert. Portions were good enough, well presented & simply delicious.
The service was prompt, attentive & polite. We truly discovered a little gem.
