Les Faux Bourgeois - Vancouver, British Columbia

An unassuming french bistro with dimly lit ambience around Kingsway area that intrigued me from the perpetual queue. Felt like food was alright (I found most of the dishes overly seasoned/sauce for some reason) but desserts were good. Pretty good cocktail and wine list with decent service. Overall not bad, ... but won’t be in a hurry to return Mushroom Risotto ($26) 6/10 Pretty standard risotto with spinach, sage, and parmesan. Texture was okay but this dish was unusually salty. Tartare de Boeuf ($28) 7/10 Beef tartare with capers, mustard, shallot egg yolk served with fries. I like the fact that it was flavourful and fresh, however I felt like they went overboard with the seasonings… would have liked to taste the beef more. Canard Confit ($31) 7.5/10 Probably the best dish out of ones we ordered. Really enjoyed the confit duck itself, my feedback would be that the warm salad (potatoes, arugula, goat cheese, and port jus) had too much dressing. Grilled Squid ($17) 4/10 Served with shaved fennel salad and sauce vierge. Not a fan, squid was really tough to eat and had chewy texture. Creme Brulee ($10) 7.5/10 Really good fresh creme brulee. Rich and decadent in all the right ways. Chocolate Mousse ($8) 7.5/10 Personally prefer this over the creme brulee as I am more a chocolate person. Not too sweet with strong chocolate flavour.

My partner and I had a lovely Tuesday night dinner here for our anniversary. Bruno was absolutely amazing as our server for the duration of our stay -- very kind, funny, and personable. I had the duck while my partner had the steak frites, and they were both succulent and ... flavourful. French is my favourite cuisine, and I'll be honest when I say that this is my favourite French restaurant that I've been to (I used to live in Toronto, I just moved here, and this tops everywhere I've eaten there). 10/10 will come again. xx Sade Read more

Came here for an anniversary - reserved online, and staff was able to accommodate a special request to allow for more table space due to an injury - much appreciated. Food was delicious with great service. While it's hard to go wrong with any of the menu choices, the onion soup ... and the duck confit stood out in particular as highlights for the night. Read more

Love coming here for a casual bite. I like it because the steak frites is affordable in comparison to other places. Plus you can get moules frites as well, which is our second go-to, and a creme brulee to end it off. Service is fantastic and friendly every time. It's a ... joy to be here. Read more

Brilliant food, one of the best Steak Fries I've ever had in Vancouver, or ever. The waitress made great suggestions for appetizers and desserts. Will definitely come here again to order the things I didnt get to this time.
