With so many notable bistros and restaurants popping up within the Vancouver scene, we’re always searching for an affordable fine-dining fix that won’t break the new year budget. We love revisiting past favorites, especially those that offer up great eats and impeccable service within a buzzing atmosphere. Enter: Les Faux Bourgeois.
Les Faux Bourgeois has long been a staple in our dining diet when in East Van. This award-winning petite French bistro has a lot to offer the discerning diner looking to indulge in quality, Parisian-style comfort food – or something a little different. Les Faux offers an ever-changing list of fresh options on their daily menu, inviting visitors to tempt their taste buds with a different selection of assiette de fromage or charcuterie for starters.
The hustle and bustle of this quaint and cozy spot has established it as a Mount Pleasant favourite for many; we recommend you secure reservations if you’re stopping by with friends or be prepared to wait. Not in a rush? Opt for drinks and a bite at the bar and enjoy the European ambiance of the space while noshing on their warm goat cheese crostini and trying out the escargot (it might just win you over).
Must-order items from their well-priced menu: Coq au vin (of course!), steak frites (how can you not?) and delectable lamb stew, perfectly prepared and oozing with tender vegetables and flavours. Pair it with a generous glass of pinot noir, or choose from nearly 20 other fine wine selections available by the glass. Save room for dessert, because they’ve got a mouth-watering selection to choose from. Our stand-out favourite? Nut chocolate crusted silk cake and crème brûlée, of course.
Don’t take our word for it, essayez vous-meme! Find Les Faux located at 663 E 15th Avenue.
