mm dd yy: Nice interior, but the restaurant is in the middle of the addict land. Pretty rough area in the evening.Got the tasting menu. The service was very good; the restaurant worked around our dietary restrictions (we have many). Everything was nicely plated. Ingredients were great; it was clear. However, none of the dishes blew our minds. I think this is the main issue with Pidgin. Overall, tasted blandly. For example, halibut was fresh and nicely cooked, but missing some citrusy flavor.Quantity-wise, I think our server explained well at the beginning - “won’t feel hungry or full”. However, my personal expectation is that when I get a tasting menu, I should not think whether I should eat more afterwards. Adjusting the quantity of the last course before the desert can fix this easily.

Argi Ahmadi: Great food, lovely atmosphere, outstanding service. The only reason why I didn’t give them five stars is because the portion of their tasting menu is very small. Basically, if you’re going there hungry, don’t get the tasting menu. Otherwise, a must-try restaurant.Recommended dishes Hokkaido Scallop Tartare, Korean Rice Cake …More

AJ: Phenomenal food, great service and fair price. Must visit!(Note the surrounding area does leave a little to be desired so be forewarned there)

Joanna R: I had an excellent, hearty breakfast here, as I would not get lunch due to travelling at lunchtime.I had the bison hash with sauerkraut, kale, eggs and toast, it was delicious. I felt it was let down by Forage not having freshly ground pepper; the only pepper option was ground in a little shaker; this is a curious decision given the attention to curing meats in-house, and making fresh sourdough etc.If you are in Vancouver and want a hearty, well-prepared breakfast Forage is worth a visit. When I am next in Vancouver I will quite likely eat breakfast here again.

Maira Malik: Went for brunch this morning, the waitress spilled a bowl of berries on me. I was very shocked she didn’t help to clean it, they did not compensate me at all, or do anything to make up for the mishap. We were also constantly waiting on things even though they were fairly slow at the time we were there.

R. Schubert: Start to finish, front to back, great experience on every level and vegetarian friendly!If you are like me, farm-to-table is your go-to criteria for eating in a region you have not been to. For this reason, I picked out Forage for a family dinner during my first visit to Vancouver. Everything we had was just varying degrees of amazing.We started with the Cast Iron Pan Bread which is served in the cast iron. It is warm, sweet and savory, made with local cheddar and spicy honey. It is somewhere in between a mini Detroit style pizza and a sweet fried bread like an apple fritter. From the starters, I assume you should try everything, but do not miss the cast iron bread.Next up we ordered a trio of mains: Mushroom Steak, Pork Crépinette (our one meat dish), and the gnocchi. All three may be the best version of each that I have eaten.The mushroom steak was perfectly tender. Lion’s mane over a celeriac puree with mushroom jus. Topped with crispy onion rings for some crunch. I have a love-hate relationship with mushrooms and this dish is way over on the love side.Two out of my top three all time meat-eating experiences have involved a farm-to-table pork sausage, and Forage’s Crépinette is one of them. The pork crépinette is divine. The loin part is tender and juicy, and the ground sausage is on another level all together. It was topped with an excellent peppercorn sauce as well as a parsley coulis and an apple purée. Three sauces is bold, especially when sausage brings so much flavor to the table but this whole dish was perfectly balanced. Everyone who tried it was blown away.Lastly we had the gnocchi. They were pillowy and soft, topped with brown butter crumb for some crunch and tossed in a delicious nettle cream. The Alpindon cheese also brought some nutty flavor to the dish.To round it all out we had the whiskey spiked vegetables as a side. This was a fine plate of roasted carrots and parsnips. Not that we needed more food, but they rounded out the meal.Finally, against some protest from very full and content diners, I ordered the spice cake to share for the table. This was possibly one of the best desserts I have ever had. The cake was perfectly moist, topped with pickled apples, buttermilk gel, candied orange zest (which blew all of our minds), and a pecan crumble for crunch. Surrounding the cake was an orange custard that we almost came to blows over. I cannot sing this dessert’s praises enough.Our service was fantastic. We were here on a Saturday night and never once felt like we were rushed or off pace with the meal. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful and really made the whole experience great for each of us.Eat at Forage. I know I will return when I am back in Vancouver.Vegetarian options: There are lots of delicious vegetarian options on this menu. We had a great meal and ordered just one dish with meat for the table (out of six).

Romain Pire: It was very good !!

Haritos Kavallos: Spent a few days at the Listel Hotel and Forage was recommended to me by several folks. The restaurant has a nice modern feel, the staff were welcoming and helpful in their recommendations. If you are into locally sourced and sustainable foods, Forage might be up your alley! I should also mention…. Their sourdough pan bread is an absolute treat and definitely a must if you visit (it’s great as an appetizer or dessert!).

Helen Gaughran: Amazing food and ambiance and our brilliant server Hershey gave us fantastic recommendations on what to do in Whistler!

Linda Lloyd: Amazing! Wonderful food; excellent service from the server, bar service and the general manager. Probably the best meal I’ve ever had from New York to Sydney. Excellent. Not even words can describe. So glad friend’s recommended!

Jeffrey Robinson: We used to come for celebratory dinners pre-pandemic, and came back for one more tonight and left after appetizers, and hungry.The food didn’t disappoint, except the gluten free option for the carpaccio. Freezer burnt udis bread, even rice crackers from no-frills would have been a better option, but honestly at your price point we expect better. My partner decided to endure tomorrow’s pain of gluten in the really tasty sourdough crisps, instead of tonight’s pain of eating the horrible toast.We decided to sit at the bar, because we appreciated the product knowledge and friendly service Forage bartenders have provided us in previous visits. Tonight was a bust - the bartender was abrasive with us, we felt as though we were putting him out by sitting there. We’ve never had a bartender need to warm up to us, this was a first. He did have a great product knowledge and was cheerful, but he saved that for his co-workers. To top things off, he put his hands down his pants at least 20 times to adjust his shirt - is that even food safe?We had a couple of drinks each and three small plates for $150. Honestly, had the service been better our bill would likely have been more than double and his tip significantly larger. Forage and the bartender lost out tonight.Peter the general manager came over to introduce himself early in the (almost) dinner. It was a nice touch, had his standard of service been matched by staff, the night might not have ended up in a stop at McDonalds on our walk home. FYI, the service at McDonalds was much more friendly.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free substitutes were not up to the same standard as the rest of the food.

Stephen Yeung: Update: Peter and his team did a great job reaching out and making sure our second visit was high quality. The food and service was much better and more prompt this time. I'll be back again.Had higher hopes for Forage. 30 mins after we ordered the server told us there was a "glitch" and the order didn't get submitted. We waited a long time for food and they didn't comp anything for the long wait. Food was decent for the price, but not great.

Alois Callemyn: I hate giving a bad review, but this restaurant is the worst place I’ve been to for breakfast. The service is very bad. Our waitress didn’t come very quickly and then couldn’t speak English. She then took forever to bring us coffee. Most restaurants I’ve been to for breakfast greet you with coffee. We then had to flag down someone to ask for a coffee refill. Food came out after a short wait, but no salt and pepper offered.The staff seemed overwhelmed and the tables were way to close, the loud conversation from the couple sitting less than 2’ away was very disturbing.Again, I hate giving a bad review (98% of my reviews are 4+) but feel that future visitors need to be warned.

Chris McCloud: Seasonal local menu. Food was lovely and service was great. Friendly atmosphere. If you want to try something different try the bison board. The marrow was probably the best I have ever had. Vegetables were well cooked but still crisp and the bison cheek and steak as tender as could be. Pork was delicious. Will definitely return again Thank you.

Nick Villanti: Had a great Easter brunch with the family. Was able to get a reservation for 6 without issue (we did book a week in advance). Due to the holiday they did request we be done in 75 minutes for the next party.Great drinks and food. I had the whiskey latte and the pork belly Benedict. Highly recommend. Family also had the pancakes, which they loved as well.

Rain Korab: Excellent brunch! It slaps every time and the service makes me giggle.

Moj Noroozi: We ordered the family style menu for the table. I would say it’s sufficient for three people dinner. 7 to 8 different small portions including appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. Everything was so fresh and tasty. The fact that everything is local made it even more pleasant. Staff are super nice and friendly. I love this place ambiance and decorations.

Christopher Coe: Always delicious

Sean C: Ruined our Valentine's day. They wanted us to sit outside on their patio in 5 degree windy weather to eat. I knew it was a patio booking, but I expected it to be a heated or semi-enclosed area. They didn't even have their heater on when we arrived! Table was not set, not even a tablecloth. They didn't bother to enclose their patio at all. There were no lights or candles close to the tables. Their hostess was condescending and rude to us. If they knew we were arriving at our reserved time, why didn't they heat up the table and area before we got there? My girlfriend left crying. Absolutely BRUTAL.

Camila Swinyard Lara: We planned on going to grapes and soda but ended up waiting for a table at Farmer's apprentice and were very glad we did. indoors was full but the server was super nice and prepared a table outside for us + turned the heater on (this was late October).While the menu is small it has great quality items and we really enjoyed everything we shared and the cocktails were also good (we wished the Martini's had been more classic and dirty but they were still good). It is important to highlight that the portions are quite small but you can taste the high quality of the food.We had a good server who was engaging throughout the dinner, the service was a bit slow but that's expected as it was a busy Friday night and they were packed inside.

Robert Judson: Highly recommended. Genuinely some of the best food i've had in the city. Interesting and original dishes, great service and excellent wine list. A hidden gem.

Steven Chen: Would give it a zero if I could. Service from start to finish was sleepy. Food was ok and overpriced. overpriced menu Come here if you want attitude.But the water was good

Matt Brown: If you don't love this place, you aren't a foodie.

James Smythe: Nice little spot but the server seriously needs an attitude adjustment. When you’re selling a sausage on a little bit of rice for $42 at least pretend to care under your mask. Sat without a drink for a while multiple times.The bread was nice and the other server friendly but simply not worth it. Very disappointed.

James P: Opted for the family style menu for six people. Everything was delicious. The fish was some of the best I’ve had. We were able to experience ingredients that we’ve never seen or heard of before as well.I’m rarely impressed by restaurants and think this place is severely underrated as a few other reviewers mentioned.

Stuart Evans: Having dined in many a restaurant around the world, I must say this establishment is up there. The basic table setting to the open kitchen...magic!!!The staff, fantastic....the food was sublime.... truly an experience that can not go unmissable....thank you from a very happy English man and his family...well done!!!!

Alice Yu: The picture can tell a lot. I took this picture at 7:39pm dinner time. There were only two tables including mine. I had really bad experience in this "used to be famous" restaurant. The food was mediocre. The server came checked on our table about the food, we told them the food was too sour to our preference he was so ignorant and just replied with "oh" and left. I guess they are too famous to take care of their customers.

Ashley McC: Grossly inattentive service for this type of establishment, lack of care for guest experience. And food was just meh. Wont return or recommend.

Shoolin Saini: Farmers apprentice at its current state is a try-hard rustic/hipster place with a lot of fluff and not much substance.I had high hopes for this place but was overall left very dissatisfied. The service was less than stellar. However my biggest problem was with the food. The food is frustrating... Because there are glimmers of great flavours. However, always the food is paired incorrectly. For example the Chaat had amazing spices and chutney however it did not pair well at all with the roasted rice puffs the after-taste of the burnt rice puffs ruined the dish.The food here feels more focused towards presentation then actual flavours. The vibe and the aura of the restaurant is great but the food leaves you wanting more.It's sad because there is a lot of potential here but it's wasted on fluff. I would really hope the kitchen and chef can redifine the menu again and really pair the ingredients better for overall satisfied experience.

Tommy Reinerth: I experienced the worst service I have ever had dining at Farmer's Apprentice. Our waitress clearly did not care whether we were enjoying ourselves at all. Spoiler alert - we didn't.For starters, when I asked which of the entrees was more popular (between the two most expensive entrees on the menu), our waitress replied with, "I'm not going to tell you which is more popular, and I'm not going to tell you which is better. It depends on what you're feeling." That useless reply certainly didn't do much to help me make up my mind.To make it even worse, she also failed to mention that the most expensive items on the menu were not much larger than a small appetizer at most restaurants. I will admit, the food was presented well, however in no way would I classify this experience as fine dining. I certainly would not have expected to spend what I did coming here and still end up going to Triple O's afterwards for a burger because I wasn't anywhere close to being full.On top of all that, we were literally never asked how our meal was. Not once. Not even while we were paying! When it came time to pay, our server just dropped off the machine, took a couple steps back, and stared at the ceiling until we were finished.The only redeeming factor was that my friend really liked her gnocchi. The duck I had was average.All in all, a horrendous experience. Avoid this place!

Connie Ono: If this is your first time visiting Vancouver, Miku would be my top recommendations on your itinerary list for places to eat. Now, this isn't your typical sushi restaurant, in fact, I would consider this to be fine dining and here's why.When it comes to Japanese food, presentation is the most important next to customer service level, and they are bang on. I absolutely love how intricate their sushi layered to simplicity on a plate. Reminds me of a zen garden. The waiters/ waitress' are knowledgeable of their dishes being served and super friendly! Dishes are, at minimum $20, but the portions are decently sized. (Anything with Wagyu will always be expensive).They do offer gluten -free and vegetarian dishes and non alcoholic drinks.(I had their Shiso Nojito and it was the most refreshing non-alcoholic I've ever had. Not too sweet either).Overall, I would highly recommend it for first time travellers to Vancouver. It's absolutely a beautiful place to dine in!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free available

Keith C: We had the 7 course Kaiseki dinner and were very impressed by the taste of most of the dishes. Also, the portion is very large and we found it quite heavy.Favourites are the insanely tender fillet, the Hokkaido scallop, oyster, and fresh sashimi.Few of the menu items were a miss, such as the Uni (Sea urchin) which we found not fresh at all. And sake pairing was late for one of the courses.Overall, this was a delicious meal and definitely recommended. We would have liked some lighter dishes that were not fatty-protein-focused, or slightly less portion for lower price (like the omakase platter at the end). Bring a large appetite if you are ordering this tasting menu!

Junky Mailhai: For the price, I thought that it’s an okay place. The food is fresh and the service is good. I didn’t love the sushi. It was good but not amazing. At CAD $50 per person, I felt that it could be a bit more than what it was. The salmon sushi and the soba noodles were tasty.Recommended dishes Sushi …More

Janell Natekar: Food: I had been bragging to my family and friends about Le Crocodile since the first time I went there, so it was a bit sad to see some of them disappointed by their meals. My partner wasn't impressed by the large piece of cauliflower in a literal pool of olive oil for his appetizer, or the spinach drenched in oil with his salmon, to the point he had difficulties with eating it. My mother ordered a ribeye medium rare, and it came mostly well done to nearly overcooked in sections. There were a few misses for sure with some of the meals. But the others were just as rich and excellent as I remembered, and their specials were not to be missed! Here was the best of what we had:Appetizers: They had a white asperagus that v had been imported with a little seafood topping and sauce; my mother complained that the portion was small for the price, but the flavours were out of this world and I hadn't experienced anything quite like this sweet and savoury dish. My escargots were delicious as usual, and this is one of my favourite places for them (though there was a general concensus that there can never be enough garlic). The frogslegs were so delicious with a little sauce that really made then. The deep fried lobster was delicious; I'd never have thought to do that with such a delicacy and it was very good! Some must tries, all of them!Main dishes: I highly recommend that you get their special on the venison of you're going there soon! The sauce was rich and the meat was so tender! The veal was also an excellent choice from their main menu and had a thick and creamy sauce as well. I personally enjoyed the lamb shank and the truffle gnoochi, a strong rich flavour and very filling.Dessert: they started us with a small pear palate cleanser that was so delicious! And then finished with a chocolate crocodile that was very professional. I also had the meringue souffle with creme anglais. It was so nice, fluffy, and comparatively light after a rich meal, I highly recommend it!White Wine: I generally love a very sweet and smooth white wine, and their gerwurtztraminer hit the spot! I'm picky and this was so delicious, several others at the table also picked it up.Overall, if I wanted to save up and plan a special event here again, I would! Really delicious, still one of my favourite places I've eaten! Be prepared for the price, but I nearly had to be rolled out of there by the end of the meal. Very satisfying.Service: We had a large group of people booked in advance, and the table was ready for us as soon as we walked up. Please note: the cost of the reservation funds will be returned directly to your credit card, not removed from the bill the table, so you can more easily book through one person and pay separately. They were excellent with their service, and meeting requests for a caraffe of water for the table and replacement small plates and removing an alcoholic dressing on one their pallette cleansers. One drink was missed later on in the night, but they were good to apologize and made sure not to include it on the bill. They managed odd pairs of people paying and a restaurant gift card without any issue. They did an excellent job overall, and were a real pleasure to deal with.Parking: we parked at the lot across the street under the Scotiabank theater, about $8 for the evening after 6pm. Good for a carpool and a full evening.

Doretha Son: The wait staff was very nice. They were training some new people and were busy, but they made sure we were taken care of promptly. The food was good.

Kev N: Incredible food, service and ambiance. Always a must visit when in Vancouver with the familyScallop and lobster tempura dish is a must try.

Sasha K: Le crocodile is a true 5 star fine dining experience; the table settings and greetings into the restaurant alone are always immaculate. From every detail of the service to food, dining here is always top tier. I truly appreciate the wine list and their sommeliers experience in serving and pairing the wines with dinner. The food is also always as exceptional as the service and atmosphere. The foie gras crème brûlée is a standout as well as the frogs legs, escargot, and wagyu steak. Though, all dishes are exceptional and make traditional French delicacies seem more approachable. My only critique from my most recent visit would be the accompanying toast to the steak tartare. The bread was very reminiscent of sliced white bread toast and was not the most enjoyable. A nice crostini or crouton would have been better in my opinion. All in all, le crocodile is a standout in Vancouver’s fine dining scene and a must try.

J Y: A very good meal where the flavours blend very well together. The tartare was excellent as was the onion tart and the classic tomato soup. Lamb shank was very good and scallops very fresh. My only displeasure was the souffle as it was not light and airy. It was very foamy and had strong egg taste unless to mixed it with the creme anglais. Service was impeccable. We very much enjoyed the dinner and will be returning in the future.

Dima Mekhlis: My favorite restaurant!

Alan W.: Absolutely phenomenal food and service every time! I recently celebrated a birthday here and brought my own cake. The hostess advised that there would be a plating fee of $4.50 per person. Fair enough, it is a hassle for the restaurant to deal with this. They plated the cake and used piping to decorate the plates with chocolate and caramel swirls. They also garnished the plate with mint and whipped cream! Wow! So impressed.The food of course was fantastic.

Pippa: Very good, but not too sure it’s worth the price. More of a place to be seen in terms of the cost.

Hans Moon: Nice food and friendly staff that would go the extra mile to accommodate for specific dietary requirements.Vegetarian options: Good selection of salads soups and other veggie optionsDietary restrictions: I told staff I can't have food items mixed/cooked with alcohol, they checked what I can have and asked the chef to change the sauce for one item, kudos for helpful staff.

Evan: Doesn't get much better than fresh and well prepared seafood platter and sashimi on the patio! Liam especially stood out with excellent service. Having previously been a chef, he was very knowledgeable and efficient. Definitely added to a fun night!

Bob A: amazing food and service. definitely top end but worth it. took a group of business colleagues here and the experience was very memorable

Amy Kiesenwetter: The food is unreal, but the service is outstanding!! Adam is the bartender to see. I was in the mood for a Margarita... And not the spicy one on the menu (also delicious)... So I asked him to mix up something cool and unique. I have no idea what was in it, but it was spectacular! I love walking into a restaurant and having the ability to talk to knowledgeable staff that follow through with delicious items!! That is why we all go out to these places, right!!?? Thank you, Adam!!

Holly Schroedter: Awesome experience here. No complaints. Service was superb, food was amazing. Would 10/10 recommend.

John Neate: Frank - best chef in the city. 20 years and still killing it with new creations every night.Stefan - overseeing every detail to perfectionTara - server extraordinaireThank you for an amazing evening!

Bruce Adams: Absolutely, hands-down, one of the best seafood restaurants. Innovative and delicious food, excellent attentive service , without hovering over us. Great atmosphere. The best upscale seafood dining in British Columbia.

joane tran: server with the big glasses was super friendly and so was the server that was shadowing him. was so honoured to be his first table ever! we couldnt even tell it was his first shift. everything was lovely, from the food from the service. professionalism was super good with a good balance of comfort

Lucie In the sky: My favorite restaurant in Vancouver. Service and quality of the food is always on point and has been consistent over the years.

Pablo Santos: I had probably one of my best dinner experiences last night. The restaurant was elegant and cozy, with a beautiful atmosphere. The food was delicious and creative, with a variety of dishes to suit different tastes and preferences. I especially enjoyed the Kobe style shortribs, the fish and the chocolate cake. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who made me feel welcome and comfortable. I want to give a special shout-out to Adrien, who was my guide for the night. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and the wine list, and he gave me great recommendations based on my preferences. He was also very charming and witty. He really went above and beyond to make my night memorable and enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a 5 star dining experience in Vancouver. It is worth every penny and more.

HJ Marshall: We were there for a wedding. It has a cozy room for the special event. The food was great, the service was awesome and the couple got married. It was a perfect night.

Tess Filling: Staff were wonderful, drinks were great, and the raw bar dishes were delicious. The tsunami dish (pictured) was so perfectly balanced. We will be back during our next trip to Vancouver.Recommended dishes Ahi Tuna Tataki …More

Pamela Key: An exceptional experience with the highest quality ingredients and flavours. The service we received here should have provided us with a seven star option to select. Above and beyond. Thank you to the entire team, from start to finish absolutely incredible. We cannot wait to return.

Winston Mew: A delicious dinner with excellent service from Liam. A great place to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The seafood plateau was a tasty appetizer sized just right for 2 people. Just love the special fork they have to aid diners with the assorted oysters, mussels, clams, and other tasty treats. The halibut was firm and juicy, and although the steak was medium rather than the medium-rare we requested, it was still juicy and very tasty. We didn’t leave much room for desert, so settled for tasty strawberry & raspberry lemon tarts. Highly recommended for a memorable night out.

Alex G: Si vous vous demandez où est le meilleur restaurant français du Canada, ne cherchez plus, il est à Vancouver. Au comptoir est un superbe restaurant dans le quartier de Kitsilano avec une vraie équipe de français. Le prix est très raisonnable face à la qualité des produits et des plats, on se croirait en France !En parlant de plat, j'ai commandé une omelette au fromage. La première bouchée de celle-ci m'a rappelé les brasseries parisiennes du début du 20ème siècle. Une bouchée et tout Paris ainsi que la gastronomie française sont apparus devant mes yeux. C'est comme si Paul Bocuse vous donnait à manger à la petite cuillère, c'est prodigieux !A côté de moi, Antoine a opté pour l'assiette au comptoir. Il a fini son plat plus vite que sa bière, c'est pour vous dire l'exploit. Pareil pour son dessert, il n'a pas laissé une miette dans l'assiette. Je crois qu'il n'a jamais eu l'opportunité de goûter à ce genre de plat dans ses montagnes où leur plus grande fierté est d'avoir la 3G. Le barman a été de très bons conseils pour lui proposer ce mets digne des plus grands restaurants du pays de la langue de Molière, il faut le remercier pour ça.A propos de mon dessert, je me suis laissé porter par le fondant au chocolat. Ce dernier fut exquis, il a réchauffé mon coeur et refroidi mes veines comme de la glace #zooBref, ce repas fut une expérience inoubliable que nous ne sommes pas prêts d'oublier. Il serait exceptionnel d'ouvrir le même restaurant à Toronto, que les canadiens puissent goûter à des vrais plats au moins une fois dans leur vie !

Y L: Amazing place with great food and awesome service. Authentic french style. Really enjoyed it! Will be back

AmbrosiusMD: You’ve got to eat here at least once, and preferably more than once. The food is incredible, the staff are consummate professionals, and the experience is unforgettable.

Don James: Belated review but, Charles was amazing! Thank you Charles :)

P: Croque madame - with egg !!!!

Danny Israel: Had the duck and the cod, it was underwhelming. The fish was bland, the duck was fine but the sides were a bit of a joke, basically some raw carrots that still had brown on the exteriors. The value for the price is not there.

TH Mak: Came here for a late brunch. Wasn’t sure what to get so opted for a burger. That was an amazing juicy and rich burger, surprised at how good it was!Great friendly service as well.

Aiden: Been meaning to check this place out for a while now, but was putting it off due to not being able to make reservations for dinner. But finally decided to just go for it by heading there a bit early before the dinner rush. We got there at around 6:15 and it was already filling up. By 7:00pm, people lining up were getting turned away (so I do suggest coming early if you want to get a spot).Now onto the food...We started off with 2 appetizers. The beef tartare and prawns served in between 2 puff pastries. Out of the 2, the tartare was my favourite. So much so that we ended up putting in a second order. I've never tried tartare with fried bread but surprisingly, it was delicious. All the flavours blended perfectly together. Especially with the whipped horseradish.My main course (Bavette V'aloyau) was out of this world. Usually, the steaks I get are served with mashed potatoes, but THESE potatoes (pommes daupines) are insane. Biting into them, they're warm and soft. Probably softest potato's I've ever had served up in a restaurant.Next time, will be back for brunch!

Serena Lee: Had a lovely weekend lunch at one of my favorite bristro in Vancouver! It has a relaxing atmosphere with attentive service and good food with reasonable price. The egg cocotte - French way of slow baking egg in a water bath with cream and cheese, is very soft and tasty. It paired with the pork and leek sausage which has lots of flavor yet does not feel greasy at all. The bacon and duck fat thyme potato rosti provide texture contrast in the dish. Next time I would like to try the crispy fried duck wings which look delicious on the table next to us.

Tracy Zhu: 🇨🇦Kitsilano is a low-key French restaurant that has been open for more than ten yearsA small, very warm French restaurant, the waiters in the store are very handsome 😂😂😂 It’s like the waiters in a Chinese restaurant speak Chinese better than English, they are French-Canadians properly 😉 The manager introduced and recommended to us very gentlemanly Menu, I feel that the epidemic is over and I will come back to revisit various old places🤣Don’t step on the blind spot, my favorite Wagyu beef tartare and beef raw beef and duck legs, with simple vegetables, a good lunch time, kits closed a lot of stores, I miss the old Vancouver #广州 #广州美食 #kits #kitsilano #Brunch #lunch #French food #French restaurant #Aucomptoir #广州探店

Isa BDP: The best French restaurant you can find in Vancouver. Once you are there, you feel like in France, especially in a brasserie from Paris. "Au Comptoir" is not only reflecting a nice French vintage look by its interior design but offers also a fantastic menu. At your first bite, your palate will feel an explosion of flavors like a firework in your mouth. Every time I go there, I close my eyes in tasting the first bite of my dish. This makes me travel in time, bringing me back to my grandmother and her delicious food. Thanks to Maxime, Julien and their team for creating magic. 🙏

Olena Polissky: Exceptionally delicious authentic French food and wine, highly professional service, pleasant ambiance. Au comptoir never disappoints. Merci beaucoup!

M F: Pretentious. Went in for croissants. They told us they only made some to fill orders for other restaurants and that none were ready for customers. We leave. Five minutes later we see one of the "regular" customers who always sits outside with his dogs. He is somehow able to get a croissant which he enjoys outside. Cool.

Florence Wong: I was here celebrating Mother's day on the weekend. We made the right decision to come one week before otherwise we wouldn't have been seated by the window.The view of coal harbour and the snow topped mountains were incomparable and serene. The ambiance and decor was also excellent.Our server was attentive and welcoming.We ordered the $65 pp high tea service which came with a small selection of tea. Certain choices required additional cost. We also ordered a la cart caviar. The variety and portions of food was perfect. We even had left overs!I would've given 5 stars if the tea selection was larger.Overall I'd recommend visiting this restaurant and would definitely come back for other special occasions.

Ali Nematollahi: We went to Five Sails for dinner. First time at Five Sails. My girlfriend has a number of food allergies and the restaurant was very very very accommodating! Food was great, atmosphere was very pleasant.Best of all was our server, Raymond. He was incredibly attentive and a gentleman! He was literally the best server I've ever had to deal with in Vancouver!!We both really enjoyed the restaurant! We will definitely go back again.Parking: Lots of parking lots aroundDietary restrictions: They are very accommodation to dietary restrictions

david procter: I accompanied my wife and mother to the Five Sails for Afternoon Tea on a Sunday afternoon. What a FABULOUS experience. From the GM Jason to his Greeter and to Jordan our server The staff was warm. Friendly. Knowledgeable and attentive. And hugely welcoming. Thanks so much.The tea started with a wonderful glass of bubbly. Followed by tasty tea I tried the Nutcracker black tea. Flavours of hazelnut and vanilla. Yummy. And the food which followed was exquisite Presentation alone earned outstanding marks. But the variety and flavours and textures of the offerings was outstanding. I even tried some of the caviar Bit of a rookie on that but it was very enjoyable. Definitely worth trying. Neat taste sensationsJason. Thanks so much for hosting the three of us. And to you and your staff. Our sincere thanks. We shall return !!!Cheers. David.

Randy Brown: Ambiance was fantastic, service (Michael) was great and food was extremely good!

Josh Bateman: We went to Five Sails to celebrate our 3rd year anniversary. Our table was ready as soon as we arrived and the hostess accommodated my reservation requests and gave us a great table with the most amazing view of the harbour. Shawn was our Waiter who was very friendly and attentive all evening. Shawn went above and beyond to make sure we both had a memorable anniversary. They surprised us at the end with a happy anniversary dessert. I would highly recommend Five Sails!

CHANEL SATTARA: If I could give this amazing place, view, and the exceptional service more than 5 stars I absolutely would. This the was the best dining experience I've ever had, and I'm a major foodie so that says a lot. The view is breathtaking, the service is so personal and warm, they also have VEGAN options. The drinks and the sorbetto are exceptional. I would come over and over if I still lived in Vancouver. Thank you so much Jason 3

Sahiba Speaks: Honestly this place definitely impressed me. Their customer service was above and beyond. Very loving and make you feel more than comfortable and accepted. Everyone was treated with the utmost respect and love. The customer service they gave us was just incredibly beautiful to the point where I was simply touched. We need more places like you. Thank you for treating us with love and giving us an experience where we want to come back and tell others how amazing you are. The food was fabulous and so were the drinks. I am in love with the drinks... gorgeous... The atmosphere and the energy are just breathtaking. You will leave feeling apreaciated and like a king. We deserve the best and that is exactly what you will get here with class and luxery.

Mark Epik: Great atmosphere and great service. Highly recommend the Brussel sprouts and make sure you take advantage of the cocktail menu.

C AnW: good place for dating.

Sabrina L: I absolutely love dinner but recently I came for a baby shower and it was just alright.$65 pp for high tea was a steal, but it was just okay, my favourite was the lobster biegnet.Service though was mediocre at best.We were missing a chair when we arrivedWe had to ask our server 3 x for the tea menu and she seemed not pleased when we didn't all order alcoholWe had order sparkling water but most restaurants would ask before opening the next model but she did not, she literally would top us up after every sip, before you knew it, we were 5 bottles deep between 5 people (wasted full glasses at the end)Asked her twice to take away our food and her timing was just really off for everythingWas less than pleased with her serviceParking: Parking lot was fullTried to valet but there was noneEnded up work street parking $8/hrWe parked for 3 hrs for a total $24

Daniel Jung: An exquisite dining experience! Came in for brunch with no reservation. Luckily, after a 10-minute wait, someone canceled.Service was brilliant, food and drinks tasted delicious, and the vegan dessert was amazing!The brunch was under $90 with tips included. Fantastic spot for a date. Highly recommend reservations!I will be back 100% thank you!

Kianna Kho: Came here for dinner. Food, drinks, and service were good during the dinner, but I have to deduct stars because they charged my credit card twice for the $250 dinner. It took 5 phone calls to finally get the refund. I never actually spoke to anyone from the restaurant, only the hotel. Never received a note or apology for the inconvenience, the charge was just quietly refunded to my card and I noticed on my statement.

Joel Chan: We got the three-course brunch and it was delicious. I ordered the charcuterie plate as my appetizer followed by a croque madame and the strawberry coconut panna cotta for dessert. The food was fantastic and I don't know which dish I liked more because it was honestly all good. My wife ordered the hand-cut beef tartare, butter poached lobster benedict, and the milk chocolate coffee mousse. We also got the antioxidant juice, orange juice, and blue moon non-alcoholic cocktail which paired very nicely with our food. Overall great experience with a very friendly, courteous, and professional staff. Even the washrooms were gorgeous.

Dillon Sharan: The ambiance at the Botanist is unparalleled - it's one of the most beautiful restaurants in Vancouver and a great place to celebrate any special occasion. The food and service are excellent. I ordered the vegetarian dish for my main course and was quite disappointed with the portion size - it was laughably small, fewer than 10 small bites. It's a pricey restaurant and the quality is absolutely up to par but after spending $100 per person, guests should have enough food to be satisfied, not wanting more.

Savannah: Gorgeous interior and even better service!Went with a group of 12 people so we were seated in one of their private rooms with no extra cost. The private rooms have a set 3 or 2 course meal ($65 for 2 courses and $71 for three) the only difference between the 2 and 3 course meal is dessert for the 3 course meal.Excellent service, always tentative to waters sides etc. Food had amazing flavour and unique presentation.I would definitely recommend this place for an upscaled brunch or dinner!

Kelsey MacGregor: There’s a reason this place has such an amazing reputation. Incredibly beautiful setting which compliments the service and food. We’ve never encountered such amazing customer service. Very accommodating staff. Best mushroom toast we’ve ever had and the pistachio croissant left us speechless. We will for sure be back and will tell everyone we know to come here.

Ben D: Great place. Comes with mimosas and your pick of cocktail with its 2-3 course meal. Drinks were great and packed a punch. Fair price for the flavour and serving size.The beef tartare was really memorable. Lamb belly poutine was a great mixture of custom French fries with a nice balance of cheese. Eggs Benedict had the right amount of hollandaise and the lobster bumped it to that next level. Dessert met our expectations and were balanced without being too overwhelmingly sweet. Great way to finish off our meal.$71 for the three course which me and my partner had. Was surprisingly filled by the end of it.

Kimberly Stephenson: A week after dining here, I'm still trying to wrap my head around how amazing this place was! The drinks, food, atmosphere-- EVERYTHING exceeded expectations. Even the journey to the bathroom was pleasantly surprising; I found myself lingering at the hallway photography exhibits, and feasting my eyes on the bustling lounge below. There was also a live pianist, whose effervescent fingers doled out jazzy covers to pop songs like something out of a 40's noir film. The lighting was perfect (not too bright, not too dim). It's impossible to say the service was inattentive-- they anticipated every refill, every wanton desire for more oatmeal sourdough bread (which was scrumptious). The other culinary standouts were the lamb shanks/belly (which now rivals bacon for me, lol!) and the sour-cream ice cream for dessert. Be prepared to crave another visit! 😝
