Had a great experience with their high tea. I love the savoury part of the high tea the best. Service was great. Though I didn’t like the voucher part for Armani full size lipstick since you need to make a purchase at Armani to get it. Don’t use Armani product so not worth it. But high tea itself is good enough with out the voucher. Plus there were no one at the Armani counter. I would like to go and try their regular menu next time.

Best experience ever! Our server was so attentive and kind. The West Coast Tuna Salad was the best I have ever had. The pasta was delicious. Chocolate Pave was to die for. Really yummy tea. Absolutely outstanding experience.

I went to the Colette Grand Cafe in Yorkdale for the first time on Sunday for brunch. The restaurant was packed! My friends and I ordered brunch; I had a cup of coffee, the Avocado on Toast with a fried egg and also a Vintage Velvet cocktail. The service to the food, to the experience on a whole truly exceeded my expectations. I’m big on customer service and the staff there made sure that ALL tables were attended to, even if it wasn’t their table!! The atmosphere catered to couples, friends and families. I loved how the food was plated and the portions were plentiful. I’m looking forward to dining there again, as there were specialty cocktails and other dishes that I really want to try.

My friend treated me to the turkey club and fries for lunch which I really enjoyed. Perfect bread and fries! Bacon was so good with the turkey. The burger was perfectly cooked just like the fries. Best takeout food in Yorkdale! Very helpful staff and great service!

My husband and I come here almost every Sunday right before football (lol). It’s such a great experience every single time. From the service to the quality of the food to the pricing. The quality you’re getting for the price you pay (which in my opinion isn’t too bad), it’s seriously worth it. We’ll never get over this location. Nice and intimate as well! Sometimes it can get busy but overall it’s a great brunch spot. Nothing bad to say about this place which is saying a lot!

The location was lively and discreet. Very polite hostesses. And the ambiance was lovely. The menu had a vast array of options for both a vegetarian diet and regular diet. As a Halal foodie, they had many pescatarian options which were lovely. Servers were also very accommodative with the orders as-well. The food was above expectation for a salad and avocado toast. The meals were cooked and prepared to perfection. Tried all 3 dishes and all earned 10’s across the board. Would highly recommend going here for a nice light brunch! Should definitely try out the afternoon tea! Rate 9.8/10

We went for lunch during winterlicious. Had reservation and were promptly seated. I had the beet and vodka salmon, it was delicious. Enjoyed every bite. The lime espelette squid was equally good. Only wished for some bread to soak up all of the sauce. Cocktails were interesting and tasty. Will be going back soon.

We loved this place. Will definitely go back. Good and service was great. The French onion soup is one of the best ones I've had. Beef tartar was excellent though just a bit on the salty side. The main course was fantastic. And the desert.... Wow. We loved the ambiance of this place. Very chic.
