Reviews for Grand Cru Deli in Toronto, ON
The place itself is really brightly lit and not much to look at- not the best ambiance for a date or dinner if you?re thinking... of taking someone here for a date. It?s in the entertainment district, which is not my favourite area but we had high hopes forthis little spot with all the great reviews. We just found that the wine list was really small and limited for a wine bar. Theglasses are expensive and small free pours. The food was good but left something to be desired. It?s going for bar raval kind ofdishes in a coffee house vibe. The razor clams were chewy in a very acidic sauce. The boquerones were nice but the crostinididn?t taste fresh at all. The duck breast was really nice. Overall, the cost of our stay was more expensive than our steakdinner at the Keg and we were left disappointed. Read more
Amazing amazing wine and charcuterie experience. Owen was so knowledgeable and knew exactly what he was talking about - I loved... his wine recommendation. He was so attentive and kind throughout our night and came by every now and then to explain the bestpairings for what we ordered. Definitely coming back to this place!! Read more
Cozy and intimate spot for wine and wine-accompanying food. Loved the cod croquettes. The folks here really know their wines and... can walk you through them. Honestly, a great gem hidden in plain sight. Read more
A must visit place when you are in Toronto. Owned, run and staffed by people who truly love wine (and not snobby at all) Great... wine selection expertly and lovingly curated paired with excellently executed dishes that are designed to accentuate the wine.One of our parties joked that I actually needed to write a negative review so we could keep this place a secret to ourselves. Ican't do that in good conscience because a place like this that's obviously a creation of love and passion needs to be shared.Enjoy! Read more
what an excellent gem of a place! huge selection of wines. came here on a saturday afternoon for a wine flight and charcuterie... board. the board was so delicious: four cheeses (comte, guinness cheddar, brie and a sheep cheese) and three meats, with plentyof bread and crostinis. shannon picked out six perfect wines for our flight based on what we said we liked. shannon knew herwines and was friendly and so hospitable. definitely coming back!

Amazing little spot. Fantastic wine list. HUGE selection of Gin. Food was delicious. Ketchup fries. I think we had 4 orders. And... those blistered peppers. Amazing. Beautiful spot. Staff was engaging and helpful, service was perfect. Thank you. Read more
A great casual spot to grab a quick bite. Possibly the friendliest and most approachable wine bar I've been yet. Had two very... different experiences. Enjoyed some food on their patio with one of their glasses of "Surprise Red" - a fun way for experienceddrinkers to test their tongue or for inexperienced drinkers like me to just explore new wines without any prejudices. For mysecond visit I think I lucked into a seat next to sommelier's Bruce and Marie who basically gave me a mini wine class! Can't sayenough about their friendly approach and love for wine. Feel free to ask me more about my experience on instagram atomiominomnom. Read more
Loved the atmosphere, very quiet compare to a lot of downtown places. Food was good, wine was good. Great experience.
