Join us on Rue Wellington

For those who missed our tumultuous move, we are now located at 432 Wellington St West, just west of Spadina and a block south of King, in Toronto’s historic Garment and Warehouse District. It's a spacious, tree-lined boulevard with plenty of parking and the perfect location for our summer terrasse. We are conveniently located downtown, but pleasantly situated off the beaten track. No noise but birds in the trees and Ella on the soundtrack.

Chef Albert Ponzo is cooking up a storm in his state-of-the-art open kitchen and receiving great feedback from customers and critics. His resolutely authentic Bistro menu summarizes the best of his trips to France.

What to look forward to

The new rear jardin

We have finished our back garden, which is now well planted and features a beautiful lead fountain cast by a local foundry.

Meanwhile, as co-proprietor Jean-Jacques Quinsac remains busy cellaring newly arrived shipments of hard-to-find regional wines of great value, Chef Albert Ponzo is at the stove. Try his Os de Crô-Magnon, a neanderthalesque bone marrow with a parsley salad, or his pied-de-cochon, his boudin noir, his skate wing beurre noisette, his tongue of Wapiti ravigote, his sow's ear and lentil salad, his Tripes à la Tripel, not to mention his Alberta lamb gigot or his entrecôte steak frites. For desserts indulge in the Île Flottante or the Baba au Rhum.

Downstairs in the wine cellar, there are 1,200 different labels and 95 beers from all parts of the globe. We buy our wines en primeur as soon as they've been released, and cellar them in ideal conditions. This allows us to keep our prices very fair.

If you've got a special wine of your own, then you're very welcome to bring it to Le Sélect - just let us know in advance. We charge a modest corkage fee which varies depending on the level of service required.

Read what reviewers say about Le Sélect, and before you visit, check the map, which includes parking info. If you're interested in organizing a special private function, we can create a customized menu, and host your event in one of our private dining rooms.
