I should have replied to the OP. Sorry, @ipsedixit.
Restaurant Pompette is quite expensive. Mains are in the 40s. I haven’t been yet because of the cost. I have enjoyed Bar Pompette and the Pompette Bakery.
Second Le Baratin.
I recently enjoyed brunch from Le Baratin. It’s cheaper than most bistros.
For Italian, I still like Enoteca Sociale. The prices are similar to most upper mid range Italian restaurants. Pastas in the $20-$30 range.
Not downtown, but midtown: Zezafoun, which I like for Syrian food.Takeout and Delivery in [Toronto] - #162 by Phoenikia
Maybe consider Taverne Bernhardt.
