A contemporary French restaurant that takes inspiration from Canada’s luscious bounty and rich ‘red earth’
Terre Rouge serves an evolving menu highlighting fresh produce that is Canadian-sourced whenever possible. Every ingredient is meticulously brought together to create an exciting take on contemporary French cuisine. While Executive Chef Forrest Liu’s technique is French with modern influence, some of his dishes—like his duck leg, and signature black cod—reflect his Asian roots. Additionally, the bar serves up a playful selection of delicious cocktails, both alcoholic and zero-proof.
Above all, the warm and sophisticated ambience makes for an elegant respite in downtown Markham. That said, Terre Rouge is the perfect contemporary French dining establishment for a romantic tête-á-tête, rendezvous with family and friends or private party.

Learning to become a Sommelier, she loves discovering new wines and sharing her knowledge with guests, while elevating their dining experience.
