Exuding a charming bistro setting reminiscent of Paris, the café serves a variety of authentic French cuisine with bold flavors and fresh ingredients in the French style of simplicity.

"With its chic and charming French patio, and classic bistro cuisine, Jules is that one spot not many can resist. Located on Abbot Street in none other than gorgeous Gastown, this is the spot to go for some casual bites alone or with a friend. Enjoy some yummy seared scallops, or even a Fish & Chip."

"A post shared by Claire (@clirby) on Jun 1, 2018 at 12:27pm PDT. Cozy up at this quaint Gastown eatery serving up French bistro classics with a bustling little patio. With offerings like lobster bisque and country-style pate, it’s easy to see why this spot is such a hit."

"Le Crocodile was awarded Best French Restaurant in Where Magazine, The Four Diamond Award, and Top Fine French Restaurant in Vancouver Magazine, among others. Chef and owner Michel Jacob from Strasbourg brought his dreams of becoming a chef in Vancouver and opened a restaurant named Au Crocodile, his favourite facility in his hometown of France. Jacob’s goal was to match the level of distinction he had found in Au Crocodile, which he had achieved with a level of honor of consistency over the past thirty years."

"Chef Michel Jacob's Alsatian-style cuisine is one for the books and absolutely worth the splurge. From the warm and inviting atmosphere to the impeccable service and incredible dishes, Le Crocodile continues to be a local favorite for special occasions. The menu boasts plenty of sumptuous hot and cold starters that set the stage nicely for the main event."

"Les Faux Bourgeois is a favorite among Vancouverites because 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. The dishes are ample in size and most mains are under $25."

"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."

"Whenever I look for someplace to eat, and that place prides itself on serving a particular cuisine, there’s one aspect that I always look for authenticity. So, here’s an excellent piece of news: Au Comptoir is that restaurant that really deserves infinite stamps of approval for maintaining a level of authenticity and fidelity to French cuisine. From Au Comptoir, I tried out the EntrecÔte Frites, which is a dish consisting of the grilled ribeye steak topped with rich peppercorn sauce, and potato fries on the side."

"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."

"Bringing a taste of France into the heart of Vancouver, Bistro Absinthe is a family-owned and operated restaurant that focuses on flavorful French fare made from locally sourced ingredients. Designed and decorated in a French-bistro style, the 22-seater eatery is situated on the lively Commercial Drive and boasts a friendly and inviting ambiance. The bistro serves a prix-fixe menu that consists of three starters, three mains, and three desserts that changes daily, as well as an a la carte menu with dishes such as pan-seared scallops, slow-braised lamb shank and tuna tartare."

The scene: It’s all about simplicity and flavoursome French food at this charming little bistro run by Vancouver-born Cory Pearson and his wife Julianna. The menu is clear-cut: three starters, three mains and three desserts - all of which can be ordered individually or as a prix fixe option."

"Bambudda serves contemporary Chinese food in a modern setting. Inspiration is taken from Hong Kong and southern Chinese cuisine. Modern interpretations of Dim sum are also represented on the menu."

"A lovely gem along West Point Grey’s southern border, Trafalgars Bistro – “Vancouver’s greenest restaurant – serves modern French fare with farm-to-table flare. The team wholeheartedly embraces “seasonality, simplicity and sustainability” from their partnerships with local producers and the Vancouver Aquarium’s Ocean Wise program to their innovative waste reduction program. Location: 2603 West 16th Ave."

"Want to feel like you've turned the corner and landed in Paris?. Seek out this little cafe right in the middle of the French Cultural Center and your wallet will thank you in more ways than one; no airfare for starters, and a great value on well-prepared dishes. You'll need a rudimentary knowledge of French to make a selection from a menu that includes classics such as carnard confit and lapin grille entrees and for dessert creme brulée du jour or decadent gâteau ganache."

"If there’s anything about Salade de Fruits Cafe that’s more than enough to bowl me over, it’s the fact that even if it’s quite a small cafe, it offers good food and great ambiance. So, since it’s pretty small and quaint, it might be a good idea to get your reservations ahead of time. We tried their most popular dish: the moules frites."

"The delightful Café Salade de Fruits, owned by Antoine Bonard and Balendran Rameshan, is wonderfully French, with their rotating selection of table d’hote (chef’s choice) and a la carte items, like salade de saumon fumé and poisson du jour. Location: 1551 W 7th Ave."

"Ça Marche isn’t the only concept that’s planning to bring some French flair to Vancouver House, as local favourite Linh Cafe is opening a new location at the development also. Linh Cafe’s team confirmed to Dished Vancouver that an outpost would be opening at 1428 Granville Street (exact unit to-be-revealed). Address: 1428 Granville Street, Vancouver"

"What happens when you combine traditional French and modern Vietnamese cooking?. Linh Cafe, of course. This family-style restaurant's atmosphere is cozy and fuss-free, the service is friendly, and the food is excellent."

"Every family needs a go-to French bistro where the ‘rents can indulge in a few good glasses of Bourgogne and the kids can indulge in roasted chicken breast with fried polenta or mushroom papardelle (not to mention a killer burger)."

"Happy hours 👍👍 Just order everything from the menu please 😅. A post shared by Shirley Lo (@slosy) on Jun 23, 2018 at 9:26pm PDT. A stunning eatery that specializes in hearty French bistro dishes with a West Coast twist."

"Posing with lovely new friends at Elan Fine Art in front of Landon Mackenzie’s “Mirror Square” painting. A post shared by ELAN FINE ART (@elanfineart) on Nov 27, 2017 at 1:14pm PST. Elan Fine Art displays historical and contemporary art of quality for art enthusiasts living across Metro Vancouver."

"Vancouver's best museum is studded with spectacular First Nations totem poles and breathtaking carvings – but it's also teeming with artifacts from cultures around the world, from Polynesian instruments to Cantonese opera costumes. Take one of the free daily tours (check ahead for times) for some context, but give yourself at least a couple of hours to explore on your own. It's easy to immerse yourself here. "

"Go to the Museum of Anthropology to find out about the Northwest Coast First Nations people Try some candied salmon - locally caught, hot-smoked salmon glazed with maple syrup"

"Housed in the historic Wing Sang building (51 East Pender Street), which is Chinatown’s oldest building (1889), the Rennie Museum is a private collection owned by real estate mogul Bob Rennie. Local and international artists are showcased in the gallery and free tours are available to the public. Continue to 9 of 10 below."

"A private museum that you have to book to get into, but definitely worth the minimal effort required. Make a story out of the exhibition, and take a main page post on the roof, it’s a win-win scenario. Definitely one of the coolest buildings you can check out in Vancouver."

"Make sure to stop off for a drink at Keefer Bar and Fortune Sound Club and check out Rennie Collection at Wing Sang (which offers free entry). You can also visit some of the firm-favourites such as; Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden and the Millennium Gate."

"Just steps from the shopping corridor of Yaletown in downtown Vancouver, David Lam Park is a lovely green expanse that provides a taste of the great outdoors amidst the hustle of the city streets. Views over False Creek are framed by the glass condo towers that transformed the neighborhood in the 1990s. Grab a takeout from a local cafe for a picnic on the grass, and contemplate the journey this part of Vancouver has gone through since it was picked as the site for Expo ‘86."

"A post shared by Glenburn Soda Fountain (@glenburnsoda) on Nov 15, 2019 at 8:13pm PST. This spot is a staple in Metro Vancouver’s ice cream scene. You’ll find ice cream sundaes and classic soda fountain treats throughout Glenburn Soda Fountain’s menu."

"When you look at the menu of ice cream treats at Glenburn Soda Fountain in Burnaby, it’s pretty hard to choose just one. Go with your gut, or get the sampler (and some spoons for sharing). Address: 4090 Hastings Street, Burnaby"

"A great stopping point in False Creek between Olympic Village and Granville Island, this is a place to take in the marine and mountain views while dodging dogs. Although the playground spaces are undergoing a renovation, the sea wall here is much improved with separate bike and pedestrian paths. Few people walk the small forested trail area farther away from the water and an oft-overlooked highlight is the lagoon, a great locale for watching and photographing herons, Canada geese and ducks."

"Located on the False Creek waterfront with views to downtown Vancouver and the North Shore Mountains, the 17.6-acre Charleson Park bridges the gap between an urban environment (you’re looking north at a forest of high-rise towers) and a calculatedly placid setting. The meandering paths next to the lagoon are a stress-reducing stroll. Take the upper pathway toward a grove and you’ll eventually come across a waterfall; a small treasure, but worth it."

"Charleson Park in False Creek has stunning views of the downtown Vancouver skyline as a background to its family-friendly park (and nearby off-leash dog park) — which will certainly put a smile on any face. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Susana BC (@starsandink)"

"There are lots of reasons to love Hook Sea Bar: stunning views of English Bay, a Cape Cod-style dining room bathed with natural light, buck-a-shuck happy hour, cocktails on tap, friendly staff. Even more astonishing, this huge 200-seat eatery surrounded by chain restaurants is actually independent, owned by Michael Gayman. Executive chef Kayla Dhaliwall does a tremendous job of catering to the masses with cheffy fare."

"A smart, laid-back, affordable, independent seafood restaurant right on English Bay: Why did it take Vancouver ages to get this?. So Hook Seabar slid right into a space that was formerly a big chain, facing that unbeatable West End water view. Their food runs from Happy Hour deals to weekend brunch to a dinner menu that fits those who want a sandwich or a surf-and-turf."

"Enjoy a 180-degree view of the Vancouver Harbour with world-class boat-to-table seafood. Pier 7’s lively bar, cozy dining room and 2-level year-round heated patio make it the perfect spot for brunch, lunch or dinner on the North Vancouver waterfront. 25 Wallace Mews11:30am-11pm, weekdays / 10:30am-11pm, weekendspierseven.ca"

"With 180° ocean front views of the downtown Vancouver skyline and Stanley Park, no other restaurant in North Vancouver gets you this close to the water. PIER 7, sits in the revitalized Lower Lonsdale Shipyards and is right next to the Lonsdale Quay, shops & attractions.Open 7-days a week for lunch,...See more"
