Alouette Bistro

Alouette is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in the city, especially in the summer. Their patio is absolutely beautiful and truly feels like a little escape to France right in the heart of Vancouver. The service is always incredible. Guillaume was our server this time and he was fantastic, attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. I’ve been here many times, I know some of the team by name (Jose is also amazing). Their wine selection is thoughtfully curated, and I can’t recommend their brunch and happy hour enough. A perfect spot for long lunches, early dinners, or just enjoying the sunshine with a glass of wine.

What a beautiful restaurant! Great date night spot. The service was fantastic. We came during happy hour before the dinner rush. We ordered one of everything from the happy hour menu along with their famous burger. All the happy hour appies were your standard French, buttery, cheesy and carby classics. The burger was very tasty, it has a french onion soup vibe to it. Our table's favourite was probably the baked brie. Will definitely try a salad and a classic French entree next time.

One of the best French bistros we've been. Impeccable service, amazing food - I personally fell in love with the tartare made directly at our table in front of us. And this came with great ambiance and a little touch to highlight our anniversary.

We visited on the day of my citizenship ceremony, accompanied by my husband, my sister, and a friend. The food and service were both excellent. However, there were quite a few fruit flies hovering over and landing on our food, which required us to constantly shoo them away. I hope the restaurant can take measures to address this issue.

Pretty good place for dinner. Please is pretty small so it does provide the real French food experience. Food in general is great tho the beef tartar bread choice could be better. The bread serve with beef tartar is bit too thick instead of other place with light crispy bread or crackers. That’s pretty much the only thing is on the negative effects. Service is in general good tho our server is taking care of the bar, so he was busy all night and we have to ask other servers to refill waters many times.

Tried Alouette recently and had a mixed experience. The Bouillabaisse seafood was excellent – fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced. Definitely the highlight of the meal. On the other hand, the burger was a letdown – the patty was dry and lacked juiciness, and the fries seemed like the bottom of the bag, with mostly small, short pieces. That said, service was very good – staff were friendly and attentive throughout. The decor is lovely, with a cozy, refined atmosphere that makes for a pleasant dining experience overall. Would return for the seafood, but would skip the burger next time.

Nice place, great service, however not all the items on the menu was acceptable. The bone marrow was extremely disappointing, the tartar was just OK. The server made up for it by replacing the marrow with the onion soup. Having said that, the French onion soup was good, the boullioubas was fantastic, as was the lamb. Overall it was a treat!

My mom and I had a lovely dinner at Alouette. They gave us a private table, which made our time together really special. The staff, including the waiters, waitresses, and sommelier, were all very kind and welcoming. Service was excellent, and the food was delicious. Big thanks to Guillaume and the amazing sommelier! I highly recommend this place and will come back next time I’m in Vancouver.
