"One of Vancouver’s most acclaimed restaurants, Le Crocodile blends traditional French cooking with innovative West Coast style. Chef Michel Jacob opened the restaurant upon his arrival in Vancouver, seeking to match and achieve the level of culinary standards and service of the finest restaurant in his hometown of Strasbourg, the three-star Michelin restaurant Au Crocodile. Thirty years later, with some of the original staff still there, Le Crocodile is at the top of the list for business people who want to impress a client, and generation after generation of families have passed through the restaurant’s doors."

"Le Crocodile has been the recipient of Best French Restaurant in Where Magazine, The Four Diamond Award, and Best Upscale French Restaurant in Vancouver Magazine, among others. Chef and owner Michel Jacob of Strasbourg, brought his dreams of becoming a chef to Vancouver, and opened up a restaurant named for Au Crocodile, his preferred establishment in his French hometown. Jacob’s goal was to match the standard of excellence he found at Au Crocodile, which he has succeeded in doing with an honorable level of consistency over the past 30 years."

"A post shared by 🐙仔 (@celine_wwwdi) on Jul 19, 2018 at 11:20pm PDT. One of Vancouver’s most upscale French restaurants, this elegant space serves classic French cuisine. Their menu has a little bit of everything, with fois-grais terrine, veal sweetbreads and grilled sable fish."

"A favorite among Vancouverites for sublime cuisine, fine wines and impeccable service, Les Faux Bourgeois is a popular restaurant with couples looking for an intimate, romantic spot for dinner. The French-inspired menu features signature starters of escargots de Bourgogne, country-style pork paté with homemade bread, and a variety of sweetbreads, along with entrées of mussels in white wine, canard confit, and coq au vin. The cuisine is accompanied by a range of fine wines from around the world, craft beers and local microbrews, high-end spirits, and classic cocktails."

"Les Faux Bourgeois is one of the best restaurants in the city for a number of reasons: The food is excellent, the atmosphere is warm, and the price is right. You don't have to spend a bundle to enjoy classic French cuisine in Vancouver, making this spot a perfect place to take a date. Most main course dishes are under $25 and the portion sizes are generous."

"Take a trip to an excellent Parisian bistro by way of the city’s beachside Kitsilano neighborhood, where up-and-comer chef Dan McGee and team are whipping up French standards with B.C.’s finest produce. The stunning custom-made bar comes from France, and even the serving staff are mostly French, although with the happy addition of Canadian manners. With buttery croissants in the morning, gooey croque-monsieur at lunch, and juicy entrecôte-frites with a mouthwatering crisp char at dinner, anytime is a good time for Au Comptoir."

"If you have a love affair with Parisian cafes, Au Comptoir in Vancouver's Kitsilano doesn't disappoint. They're also open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner so you've got options. In the morning go for the flaky pastries or the omelette with gruyere, fine herbs, and salad; with a cafe au lait, of course."

"A post shared by Au Comptoir (@au_comptoir) on Nov 19, 2017 at 11:02am PST. Reserve a table for two at this Parisian spot for a night of romance. This is the place to savour a glass of fine wine as you tuck into French classics like cassoulet before sharing one of their house-made desserts."

The restaurant’s “uncomplicated but innovative French cuisine” features items like the marinated salmon with baby dill, creme fraiche and crostini, and sweet breads grenobloise with capers, parsley, lemon butter and celeriac remoulade. Location: 3916 Main St."

"Here’s a restaurant whose charm is held intact by the fact that the founder and owner of the restaurant comes from a tradition of excellence in French cuisine. Chef Herve Martin is mighty proud to share with Vancouver (and the rest of the world) all of his creations, through The French Table. What that means, then, is a food experience that is not just charming, but also delicious."

"J-C Poirier’s elevated, Québécois-inspired restaurant is known for its unapologetically decadent menu, featuring rich sauces redolent with butter, impeccable pâtés en croûe, and desserts worth every delicious calorie. Now, with the launch of St. Lawrence à la Maison, family-style meals can be picked up curbside from the Railtown eatery on designated dates. A full meal, including main, sides, dinner rolls, and dessert, is offered on a rotating menu for $47 per person, with partial proceeds donated to Union Gospel Mission."

"St Lawrence feels like small Quebec café, complete with silky sauces and serious culinary technique. Thematically riffing off French Canadian cuisine, the restaurant doesn't put on any airs—neither in the kitchen nor the space itself. The decor—blue painted wainscoting, an assortment of tchotchkes, and Quebecois nostalgia—is by turns quirky and rustic."

"Eating at St Lawrence is like being in someone’s fancy rustic living room in the Quebec countryside. But you’re not in Quebec, you’re in the Downtown Eastside in Vancouver. It’s the best Québécois food in Vancouver and on a scale of richness from air to butter, most of the menu is a croissant."

"If you have kids in tow, head to one of Vancouver’s splash-tastic free water parks. Granville Island Water Park, Vancouver's biggest and best water park, is conveniently located near Granville Island's Kids Market, which means you'll have the perfect lure for enticing your sprogs away from the toy shops. There's also a large pond nearby that's often filled with friendly ducks and geese."

"Often referred to as the 'Venice Beach of Vancouver', Kitsilano Beach Park is the city’s hub for summer action. Known to locals as Kits Beach, this scenic strip of sand is ideal for aquaphiles, with the longest swimming pool in Canada, a gradual-entry outdoor saltwater pool that runs for 137m beside the ocean. It's heated, and there are slides for smaller tots."

"Surrounding one of Vancouver’s top attractions, Science World, this park is great for small travelers. After exploring the universe in the indoor spaces of the science museum, head outdoors to play on one of the city’s best playgrounds."

"Named after a sign installation that was originally placed in the park as a prank, Dude Chilling Park is just as it sounds: a perfect park for chilling with friends. Formerly known as Guelph Park, the space is simple—a small stretch of trimmed grass that has become the centerpiece of community life in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood of Vancouver. The art installation that inspired the park's name resembles a person reclining on a slope of the park; it's often surrounded by crowds of people picnicking, drumming, singing, and straight chillin’."

"But "Dude Chilling Park," as it's known—yes, really—is without a doubt one of the most talked-about parks in Vancouver. In 1991, "Reclining Figure," a statue by Michael Dennis, was given a home in this East Van park. Though abstract, the figure—a dude—evoked the image of a person laying on his side, relaxing and, well, chilling."

"It’s in the name, and even if you go just to take a picture with the sign, Dude Chilling Park near Main Street is definitely the place to sit back, relax and unwind. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Indish Food Truck (@indishfoodtruck)"
