I’ve had this place on my list for so long! I was too busy before the New Year to check it out, but as soon as I returned to Vancouver, I made a reservation—and could only snag a counter seat.
Seeing the clean, tidy open kitchen instantly put me at ease! Everything, down to the bread, is made in-house.
The menu changes every few weeks, and the blackboard lists the daily specials.
🌟 Kanpachi
Slices of amberjack served with hazelnuts and topped with diced apple. Instead of traditional olive oil, they use an Indo-French spiced oil. It’s a bold pairing with raw fish, though I didn’t really catch the distinct flavor of the oil—just found it fresh and delicious.
🌟 Beef Carpaccio
So good! I can never resist the combination of thinly sliced beef and tuna tartare. They also added thin slices of celeriac for a nice crispy texture.
🌟 Yorkshire Pudding
My UK student days came rushing back! Yorkshire pudding is a baked egg-and-dairy bread, and here it’s filled with creamy chanterelles. I thought it was delicious, but… $23 for such a small portion?! I can probably recreate this at home, haha.
🌟 Chicken Liver & Foie Gras Pate
Came here especially for this. I love the sweet-savory combo of chicken liver and foie gras mousse topped with peach jam, served on toasted brioche. The first few bites were amazing, but by the end, it was seriously rich.
🌟 Steelhead Trout
The texture of their steelhead trout was really unique—crispy skin with tender, almost steamed-like flesh underneath. Not fishy at all. The almond crisps on top were a great addition, and it was served over a light cauliflower-potato cream.
🍷 Great Wine Selection
My friend ordered Cynar, and they actually had several varieties! Bitter yet refreshing—perfect to start the meal.
✍️ Many call it French cuisine, but it feels more like modern European fusion. The atmosphere is cozy, with white decor that’s perfect for a date night. I noticed they’re participating in Dine Out, but the menu didn’t appeal to me. They also offer a blind tasting menu for $73 per person.
