The chill vibe of this updated French bistro is phenomenal. The staff are on point, and know how to take care of customers. The kitchen knows exactly what they’re doing, and if you need to check it out, if it’s clean, just peek in from the sidewalk! My brunch mate had a nice glass of red with the Dutch Baby; I had a macchiato and the omelette with Boursin cheese and frites. The ketchup and mayonnaise for the fries, and the hot sauce for the omelette were the perfect condiments. We were at the corner of the bar, and Claire took great care of us. It was a perfect choice to celebrate our birthdays in style. I will return to taste some of the other menu choices. It seems brunch on weekends can be extremely busy with long waits at peak times.

Another perfect brunch- I had the omelette, my buddy had the Benny. Their Hollandaise is incredibly layered with an herb vinegar. Awesome oat milk flat white. Service was flawless on the heated patio, and they are now taking reservations before 17:00. Truly wonderful value for the quality. A neighbourhood gem!
Dec 12: Birthday lunch update- Another incredible meal from the welcome to the food and service. I had the falafel bowl with quinoa and it was delightful. Just the right hint of spice. My friends split the smoked salmon benedict with added avocado. Nicole took great care of us, but each staff member was lovely. Lauren from MAN adds to the friendly management team. If you’ve never tried the frozen slushiest with Baileys and Whiskey, it’s a boozy kiss!
Vegetarian options: Lots of choices, let the staff know your needs!!

Good and atmosphere is perfect and that’s why I have them 4 star but the problem is there is no WiFi here, and also the staff is not super friendly but they are polite.

The experience was fine, but far from exceptional. The service was average and lacked attention to detail. Despite notifying the staff of a nut allergy, a nut-fried rice dish was served without any clarification—we had to inquire ourselves about its ingredients.
We also tried the rib-eye steak, which didn’t justify its price point. The radicchio salad was overwhelmingly bitter and practically inedible. The eggplant Parmesan was underwhelming and lacked flavor.
Overall, the meal was disappointing, and I don’t see myself returning.

Got the chicken parm pasta the portions were huge and it was so delicious! Albani was the sweetest waitress and helped us with our final choice for our meals… and can I say her recommendation was a 10/10.

The food and service was fantastic. We didn't have reservations on a weekday. They were able to accommodate us. Sat at the bar but later moved us to a table once it opened.
Everything was great. We especially enjoyed the foie gras and the beets. That is a must.

Came here for an early lunch and I have to say the service was simply outstanding, while the food was fantastic as well. I had the dungeness crab eggs benny, which may have been a special so you might not be able to get that everytime. But if they inform you it's available when you're there, it's definitely worth trying. Can't wait to go again next time I'm in Vancouver.
