Toronto (Canada) is more than mountains, Mounties and moose.
In fact, Toronto is bursting with French cuisine and culture!
Toronto (Canada) - For many Francophiles and Francophones living and visiting this
city, finding French food and cultural products in Toronto can sometimes feel like
an impossible task.
But if you look closely you'll quickly realize that Toronto is home to a very
activate Francophiles and Francophones community. Many of the most influential
culinary figures are expatriates from France and Quebec. That said, there are also
many Francophiles who have a profound love for all things French and who don't
hesitate to share this love with those lucky few who were determined enough to track
them down. The diverse cultural make-up of Francophiles will surprise you -
Francophiles living in Toronto demonstrate as much passion and fervour as the French
and French Canadians residing in the Greater Toronto Area. In fact, Toronto might be
the only city in the world that can boast such integrated diversity
The French Side of Toronto / Vivre en Français à Toronto (the third edition of this
bilingual guide) has been developed with the Francophile and Francophone in mind.
Its aim is to provide lovers of French food and culture with useful and
comprehensive listings of the right addresses in Toronto and the Greater Toronto to
find all things French.
"It might not be obvious, contrarily to most other cultural groups who are well
represented in the city, Toronto doesn't have a French neighbourhood per say, but
there are many wonderful places in Toronto where you can find authentic French
products and cuisine that can rival Montreal and Paris any day. The guide helps
readers also find the Francophone cultural events in the city", said the editor in
chief.
The practical bilingual guide (the only bilingual city guide to Toronto) is divided
into five sections that will allow readers to dive whole heartedly in their passion
for French food.
Readers will find such French favorites:
* Mouth-watering breads, croissants and baguettes
* Fleur de sel, crème fraîche and flageolets beans
* The city's best French wine lists
* The city's best bistros & restaurants
* Toronto's best crêpes
* And anecdotes behind many French food staples
More detailed information on pairing food with French wines can be found on the Web
site: www.franco-toronto.ca
To come to Toronto and not take advantage of such copious amounts of phenomenal
French food is simply a crime. Many will quickly discover what Torontonians already
know: we can eat French food that rivals Montreal and Paris at a price that is a
fraction of French restaurants located in most North American cities.
The French Side of Toronto also includes a practical neighbourhood chart, a full
colour map of the city and a listing of over 270 merchants and restaurants!
