Chez Michel Reviews
Lovely place. Lovely hostess/waitress (Tania) and awesome chef (Jose). My boyfriend and I have gone twice, and twice the service and food were spectacular. Our favourites include the steak and the seafood pasta (which was a special that day). We had also had great conversations with Tania and Jose, they are funny, hospitable, and welcoming. My boyfriend and I decided to visit in the future for any type of small celebrations if we are in town.
Cozy, warm and loving restaurant - a true gem hidden in west Vancouver. Went there for a birthday dinner - to my surprise they made a set menu for the birthday girl! Nice touch in my opinion, it’s the details that counts :) Food was amazing. I recommend trying their Veal and lobster bisque. I have only seen restaurant serving veal downtown, so it was a pleasant find in West Van. It was extremely tender and well prepared, nice companion to a bottle of wine. Lastly, my compliments...read full review
Total hidden gem in Ambleside area / amazing duck breast / lamb rack filet mignon duo / French onion soup. These are must try. Our server Tanya was friendly and attentive.
Will definitely come back for other items in the menu such as duck confit or Bouillabaisse.
Nice ambience for dinner in a less crowded setting
Chez Michel offers a cozy and welcoming dining experience with traditional French cuisine that transports guests to another setting. The lamb main course is highly recommended, melting in your mouth. The lobster bisque and escargot appetizers are skippable, but dishes like veal and the beef special are delicious and authentic. The restaurant is considered a hidden gem in the Ambleside area, known for its amazing duck breast, lamb rack, filet mignon duo, and French onion soup—must-tries for visitors. The service, provided by friendly and attentive staff like Tania, enhances the overall experience. The ambiance is warm and less crowded, making it perfect for small celebrations or a quiet dinner. Guests also enjoy special touches like set menus for birthdays and the opportunity to try other menu items such as duck confit or Bouillabaisse. Overall, Chez Michel is a delightful place to enjoy traditional French food with a personal touch.
