Pastis or Herbs. Pastis food is better but can get pretty noisy on a Friday evening. Herbs' food is still very good, however ambience is definitely quieter. Beware, service can be a bit slow..

Never had a meal at La Palette, but on a side note, I heard an interview this morning on CBC with one of the owners, Shamez Amlani (sp?) regarding a "Quit Driving Challenge" posed to Toronto area residents. The winner will receive a TTC pass, a bicycle and I believe a gift certificate to dine at their restaurant. The challenge was placed in response to the Canadian Cancer Society's "Driven to Quit Challenge" where the winner will get a new car.
Makes me want to try this place. Like their thinking...

Batifole is great, definitely requires reservations, but it is not at all quiet. My husb and I were nearly yelling across our little table, and not because we were fighting. Small room, no sound absorbtion at all. One large party (as were there the night we were there) and the place can be deafening. It's a shame really. I loved the food, but he won't return for the noise.
Avant Gout would likely be quieter and they have an amazing creme brule. Although I saw a recent poster had some service issues there not too long ago.

Batifole on Gerrard East. Numerous positive reviews on this board. But you may not be able to get reservations for this Friday. Good luck!
