French country inn, vaulted ceilings, warm atmosphere, unobstructed service. Chef Franco Belvedere creates a menu to satisfy everyone, nice selection of local and International wines, one of the prettiest settings in T.O. Host of the Toronto Film Festival & Hollywood's home away from home. Open Sundays for dinner.

This place is known throughout the world as a stomping ground for major Hollywood stars. The food is classic bistro style with a provencal influence. Celebrity chatter over leisurely lunches and decadent dinners only adds to this see-and-be-seen food stop. Bistro favorites include grilled flank steak in a bordelaise sauce, served with seasonal vegetables and frites; corn crusted sea bass; and a crispy roasted half chicken. Order from the baked-on- the-premises dessert menu. I'm almost certain you'll go for the lemon tart.

A freestanding French Country auberge in the heart of Toronto - Bistro 990 at Bay and Wellesley. From the lovely and intimate dining area, to the inviting summer terrace, Bistro 990 has it all.  Under the watchful and caring eye of General Manager Fernando Temudo and with the inspired cooking and presentations of Executive Chef Franco Belvedere, Bistro 990 continues to be the host restaurant of the Toronto International Film Festival, the Toronto literary community, and visiting celebrities.

Ambiance abounds here - fresh flowers, tiled floors, French doors, vaulted ceilings and attentive unobtrusive service in the European tradition. Even the celebrated little Citroen “Deux Chevaux” near the entrance adds a little touch of magic to an evening at Bistro 990. But above all there is the wonderful food and a most interesting wine selection. Private rooms are available for parties, lunches, banquets and weddings.
