Estufarian, I took your advice and had the creme brule. I must agree with you, it was just heavenly. We actually split it and the 3 of us fought over each bite. We also shared the cinnamon ice cream, something I'd never heard of before, and it was just amazing. Interestingly enough, later the same week, I ordered creme brule at Pop Bistro. While it was good, it didn't touch Avant's.

So while I can't say I am a connoisseur by any means; I will support your claim until I find something better.

I have been there before and also thought it was okay. Nothing special. It was a bit overly priced, considering what you got. don't think it is the best creme brulee in the city, that's for sure.

I like it. Go regularly. Some Moroccan influences in the dishes (i.e. more down-to-earth food than haute cuisine). Reservations ESSENTIAL.

And the must dish is the creme brulee. Simply the finest in T.O.

I have eaten there 3 times because it was the restaurant of choice of friends. I found the food just okay. Somehow it promises more than I think it delivers. Nothing was terrible but also nothing was superb either. Funky setting though.

I went with a large group of friends and everyone loved their meals. The atmosphere was relaxed, we didn't feel rushed at all. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone! One of my favourites in the city.

Great restaurant... steak, chicken, scallops, calamari, salmon, lamb, samosa are all REALLY good. Not fond of new yellow sign - but that does change the quality of the food and service!

It was a great dining experience. The food was wonderful especially the lamb shank in apricot gravy. Really tasty! The price was reasonable as well. Looking forward to the patio being open
