Toronto (Canada) is more than mountains, Mounties and moose.
In fact, Toronto is bursting with French cuisine and culture!
Toronto (Canada) - For many Francophiles and Francophones living and visiting this city, finding French food and cultural products in Toronto can sometimes feel like an impossible task.
But if you look closely you’ll quickly realize that Toronto is home to a very activate Francophiles and Francophones community. Many of the most influential culinary figures are expatriates from France and Quebec. That said, there are also many Francophiles who have a profound love for all things French and who don’t hesitate to share this love with those lucky few who were determined enough to track them down. The diverse cultural make-up of Francophiles will surprise you — Francophiles living in Toronto demonstrate as much passion and fervour as the French and French Canadians residing in the Greater Toronto Area. In fact, Toronto might be the only city in the world that can boast such integrated diversity
The French Side of Toronto / Vivre en Français à Toronto (the third edition of this bilingual guide) has been developed with the Francophile and Francophone in mind. Its aim is to provide lovers of French food and culture with useful and comprehensive listings of the right addresses in Toronto and the Greater Toronto to find all things French.
“It might not be obvious, contrarily to most other cultural groups who are well represented in the city, Toronto doesn’t have a French neighbourhood per say, but there are many wonderful places in Toronto where you can find authentic French products and cuisine that can rival Montreal and Paris any day. The guide helps readers also find the Francophone cultural events in the city”, said the editor in chief.
The practical bilingual guide (the only bilingual city guide to Toronto) is divided into five sections that will allow readers to dive whole heartedly in their passion for French food.
Readers will find such French favorites:
* Mouth-watering breads, croissants and baguettes
* Fleur de sel, crème fraîche and flageolets beans
* The city’s best French wine lists
* The city’s best bistros & restaurants
* Toronto’s best crêpes
* And anecdotes behind many French food staples
More detailed information on pairing food with French wines can be found on the Web site: www.franco-toronto.ca
To come to Toronto and not take advantage of such copious amounts of phenomenal French food is simply a crime. Many will quickly discover what Torontonians already know: we can eat French food that rivals Montreal and Paris at a price that is a fraction of French restaurants located in most North American cities.
The French Side of Toronto also includes a practical neighbourhood chart, a full colour map of the city and a listing of over 270 merchants and restaurants!
