While steak frites — and all steak-based dishes, really — tend to occupy the upper end of one's budget, a new restaurant in Toronto is serving them for just $20, and no, there's no catch.French cuisine seems to be all the rage in Toronto these days.

But what better gateway dish than steak frites?Impeccably simple, the dish — which, as its name would suggest, consists typically solely of steak and frites — lends itself to total interpretation on the part of the chef.At Sauvignon Bistro in the Beaches, the steak is smothered with Pommerey mustard and caramelized onions, while at Co...
