Review from Kevin D.

Do you ever drive by that place in your neighbourhood for many months and say, "Hey, we've GOT to try that place some time". This is exactly what happened to me and my wife several weeks ago, and we've now had two incredible suppers at Bistro Tournesol .
Bistro Tournesol offers a Prix Fixe-only menu, which is refreshing because you know you're getting the best the chef has to offer at a great price. $29.00 gets you an appetizer and a main course, which ranges from the simple bistro-style faire to the avant garde French cuisine one would expect in the outer quarters of Paris.
Oysters from Toronto's famed OYSTER BOY; Escargot "a la Bourgignon"; and house-made Duck Terrine whet the appetite on the first course, while my two picks for the second course included "Rare-Roasted Duck Breast" and "Panko-crusted White Bass Fillet", both extremely delicate and not overpowering to the palate, paired well with a New Zealand (Otago) Pinot Noir from their well-priced wine list.
Bistro Tournesol is a quaint little spot that makes you feel warm and welcome and their Martinis are spot-on and delivered to the table promptly as you peruse their economical, lively two-page menu. They are a great option for Tarragon Theatre pre-show diners, but this place is so lovely that you should make a date with someone you love and reserve a table as soon as humanly possible. $150 will get two people a two-course meal, Martinis and a spectacular bottle of wine... Are you still waiting? Call and book today! 416.921.7766Listed in: KD's Neighbourhood- St.…, KD's Top Restaurants

Review from Rj P.

Went to Tournesol for dinner during Summerlicious.
Tournesol is a small restaurant near Bathurst & DuPont street - it probably only seats 30-40 people - so reservations would be recommended.
Both the Summerlicious menu and the regular menu feature French-bistro inspired items (escargot, confit) with a touch of international flare (panko crusted sea bass).
My understanding is that it is always a seasonal prix-fixe style menu - even so the menu is extensive and has room for much variety.
Dinner was great - the cedar plank salmon was well prepared and served with steamed vegetables and a light infused olive oil. A nice tomato and caper salsa was great on toasted baguette.
The service was very attentive and the atmosphere very comfortable (clean and bright). This would be a great place for a casual dinner or even a romantic night out (once the sun sets).
I would definitely return to Tournesol.
