Le Paradis

What is Le Paradis? Le Paradis, a long-standing brasserie in The Annex, sits on a quiet stretch of Bedford Road, offering a slice of classic Parisian dining. With its intimate, candlelit dining room, complete with a zinc bar, banquettes, and classic French posters, the restaurant exudes an unpretentious, lived-in charm. Seating options include the bustling bar, cozy banquettes, a main dining area, and a seasonal patio.

Le Paradis Menu & What to Order The menu leans into French bistro staples, featuring well-executed dishes like the consistently praised Steak Frites, available as onglet aux echalotes or a flat iron steak, and the rich Boeuf Bourguignonne. Don't miss the tender Duck Confit with cherry-kirsch sauce or the fragrant Prince Edward Island Mussels. Start with the hearty Onion Soup and conclude with a zesty Lemon Tart for a quintessential experience. Other notable options include chicken and duck liver mousse and garlic oil snails.

Know Before You Go Reservations are strongly recommended, especially for weekend evenings, though walk-ins can often find a spot at the bar or front tables if arriving early. Expect a lively, convivial atmosphere rather than a quiet dining experience. Le Paradis is easily accessible within the Annex, and free off-street parking is available. They're open for dinner Monday through Sunday.
