The crisply ironed white linen and plush, soft seats align just perfectly to create an elegant welcome for patrons of Auberge du Pommier. Thanks to the beautifully appointed dining rooms that remain the crown jewel in the Oliver & Bonacini restaurant group, this fine dining experience is unlike any other in the city.
“I would describe it as breathtaking. There are lots of beautiful restaurants in the city but there is nothing like this place,” says general manager Elizabeth Kerr. "The terrace – you would never believe it was in North York. It really looks like you have chanced upon a restaurant somewhere in the south of France.”
Auberge du Pommier is actually two woodcutter cottages built circa 1860. One cabin is called Sophie, after a beloved bartender who used to work there, while the other was named Oscar, after the son of Michael Bonacini, one of the founders of Oliver & Bonacini Restaurants. In the winter these cabins offer a cozy, warm atmosphere thanks to wood-burning fireplaces; in the summer, customers can go out on the terrace and enjoy the wonderful floral arrangements.

Both the starter "Potage of Spiced Summer Fruits with delicate herbs and crème fraîche" and the desert "Rhubarb Consommé Bonacini farm rhubarb nage with marinated Ontario strawberries and crispy lavender meringue" were overpoweringly flavoured with CILANTRO. I loathe CILANTRO! Note - no mention of CILANTRO in the menu description. Apart from the CILANTRO the meal was lovely. Service and decor superb.
great place, exceptional, friendly and helpful wait staff. good atmosphere, definitely recommend you to visit at least once.
This restaurant is hands down one of the best I have ever enjoyed. From the warm welcome at the front door to the visit by the manager, all the way to the server... I don't think that you could find more genuine service staff. A perfect 10 in my books!
Amazing!!! The food was divine. It truly made my tastebuds dance. The mushroom soup was absolutely WONDERFUL!! The steak was cooked to perfection. The dessert well lets just say...it was better than...... The service was impeccable. We received a free little appetizer and a tasty little bite of dessert. I cannot say enough good things about this place. The decor is wonderful.
Great 'full dining' night out. Flawless service, a who's who wine list that is priced right.
