Provence Delices

Nestled in Toronto’s historic Cabbagetown, Provence is airy, elegant and comfortable. The front of the restaurant opens up totally to the south on Amelia Street, one of the most charming streets in Cabbagetown. White French panned doors access a spectacular street-scape patio and the sun filters in the restaurant’s verandah through a winter garden of lush trees, some of which are over thirty years old. Provence evokes the colors and scents of southern France. Waterford wood burning stoves and antic candelabras cast their glow over crisp white linen that cover tables spread in a space shared by three uniquely intermingling rooms. “Imagine dining in the slightly funky conservatory of a rich French countess.” Joanne Kates, The Globe and Mail “Provence is sunningly beautful.” Alexa Petrenco, Vitality The cuisine prepared under the watchful eye of Chef Owner Elie Benchitrit, is French contemporary with accents from the succulent food descriptions of Provencal writer Jean Giono. Wine Spectator has over the years consistently granted Provence’s cellar its award of excellence. The well kept cellar is indeed one of the most extensive in the city.
