Cheese whores in the house!!..?! I am, I am! And I love, love this store. They just opened their newest store beside Au Petit Chavignol along E. Hastings, and are holding a grand opening sale today, with 15% off on ALL items, and a free insulated bag…More »

WHAT A SCORE. This is a killer deal for honest to goodness French cuisine. This quaint bistro smacked in the middle of Mount Pleasant offers the traditional French classics, (entrees not costing more than $19), enticing daily chalkboard specials…More »

Category: French

Neighbourhood: Kitsilano

4.0 star rating
  5/14/2009

I think this urban restaurant belongs in Downtown Vancouver along the likes of Market and Italian Kitchen. It's a lunch spot for corporate bigwigs. But I can't complain they opened in Kits. With abundant free parking around the area, I'm actually…More »

C'est si bon! This must be the closest I could get to South of France right smack in downtown Vancouver. The food, the ambiance, the service, the marina view, and the...Smokey Robinson music, uh, err! more on that later... I had my rare - high and…More »

I was ready to give this place three stars until it was time for dessert.

This is what you need to know - "Blue Fence" Special. It's a $25.00 three-course prix fixe served every Monday to Saturday between the hours of 6-7pm only. You choose along the…More »

I love this place and the food.  I must admit wifey and I woke up early on a weekend so we came hungry.

The breakfast cum brunch menu is a one-pager unless you want to look at their sister-restaurant menu, Chambar.  Which if that's the case I would go…More »

It's good to sometimes indulge oneself with artisan chocolates that bask in age old traditions, but employ new word recipe.

Pricey? Yes. Hand-made? Of course. In small batches, mind you.

Chocolatierie de la Nouvelle France reminded me of Vosges…More »

I love this place. It's compact, hidden, and has a nice country-style decor perfect for the menu items they serve.

We had the best server who was very personable. She entertained all our inquiries and made us feel at home.

I had a hearty classic Swiss…More »

3.0 star rating
  3/28/2010

For a restaurant with a menu comprised of the three-star Michelin Chef's favourite items from his other restaurants around the world, I expected a lot. Perhaps way too much.

I would describe the service as professional and efficient. I wouldn't expect…More »

ROUND 1: Okay, so this was the place of Sarah O.'s fart mousse, so I intentionally skipped all mousses of any kind here. No thanks, maybe next time, but not my first visit. I was pleased to see they had caneles and macarons, and got both, packaged…More »
