    This is a concept with a proud history in France. I have fond memories of visiting L'Ami Louis in Paris, Robert Parker's favorite bistro, where they serve nothing but Entrecôte and Pommes Frites. When you do only one thing, you need to do it perfectly, and sadly, that was not the case here. I really wanted to like this restaurant more. Admittedly, it had only been open three days when we went, but they failed at the one thing that mattered, which was serving a great piece of beef. Everything else about the meal was great. The ambiance was wonderful. The service was good. The wine list, though short, is well chosen to accompany their sole entrée. The salad was good. The French bread, although a bit dried out, was the right type and served with an authentic mustard. The fries were superb. The sauce served with the meat, which each restaurant handles differently, was also terrific, a herbaceous version of Bearnaise, if you will. The meat, though, was not so much. It was tough, largely flavorless, and riddled with gristle, not just mine but my wife's also, admittedly, probably from the same cow. The waiter, when he saw that my plate was covered with half-chewed pieces that I could not manage to reduce to something that could be swallowed, apologized and said that they were changing suppliers. Although the samples they got from this supplier had been good, they had received complaints about the meat from others, not just us. That's all well and good, and I appreciate his honesty. When the bill arrived and no adjustment had been made for what was obviously a collection of meat, I felt that acknowledging the problem was only half of the solution. We finished the meal with a delightfully light and exquisitely flavored chocolate mousse and a nicely done crème brûlée, although for my taste the crust could have been a bit more burnt. Both were excellent. Sadly, I probably would not return to give them another chance, but that does not mean that they don't deserve another look. If they get their meat supplier under control, it has the potential to be a very good choice for a very affordable and traditional French steak. Until then, since there are no other options on the menu, I can't be any more enthusiastic.

    New French restaurant just opened in Gastown with a simple $44 prix fixe menu including a walnut salad and steak frites. The walnut salad was fresh but very basic. The baguette was also a bit disappointing, and I was surprised it came with mustard instead of butter. The steak was definitely the highlight. I ordered medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. The meat quality was great. Their signature sauce was rich and creamy with a slightly sweet and tangy flavor. It wasn't really my favorite pairing with steak, but that's just personal preference. The fries were amazing--thin, crispy, not greasy at all, and they offer free refills! We also tried the chocolate mousse after it was recommended by the table next to us. Super smooth and silky with a nice orange aroma. The interior is beautiful with a classic French bistro vibe. There are entrances on both sides of the restaurant--one opens onto a pretty sketchy back alley, while the other faces the main Gastown street with a lovely patio, which is definitely the better way to arrive.

    Follow @jfoodreviews on instagram Parisian Simplicity in the Heart of Gastown: A Review of Entrecôte Restaurant If you've ever yearned for the no-nonsense elegance of a classic Parisian steakhouse, Entrecôte Restaurant (located at 115-12 Water St, Vancouver) delivers exactly that with effortless charm. Operating on the timeless formula of doing one thing and doing it exceptionally well, this spot brings the iconic L'Entrecôte concept to British Columbia. Here is how the experience shapes up, from the first bite of bread to the final spoonful of dessert. The Concept: "La Formule" ($44) At the core of the menu is La Formule, a beautifully streamlined, two-course prix fixe menu for $44. There is no agonizing over mains here--you sit down, and the kitchen gets straight to work. * The Bread & Butter: Dinner kicks off with a crusty, rustic baguette served alongside a beautifully whipped, savory butter presented in a rustic wooden bowl. Simple, tactile, and highly addictive. * Course 1: Fresh Green Walnut Salad: A crisp pile of vibrant green leaves lightly dressed in a bright, acidic house vinaigrette and topped with buttery walnut halves. It is light, palate-cleansing, and the perfect prelude to the main event. * Course 2: Entrecôte Steak-Frites: The main attraction. Slices of perfectly cooked, tender steak arrive swimming in a pools of their signature "secret sauce"--a rich, herbaceous, buttery, yellowish-green emulsion. Piled high on top is a mountain of golden, hand-cut frites that do an excellent job of soaking up every last drop of that legendary sauce. The Sweet Finale (Desserts à la Carte) While the main menu is locked in, the dessert menu offers plenty of room to play. If you go with a group, sharing is highly recommended so you can sample the spread: The Dessert Lineup * Mousse au Chocolat ($12): Rich, velvety, and deeply chocolatey, elevated by a subtle, bright whisper of orange. * Tiramisu ($12): Boldly claiming to be "the best in town," it lives up to the hype with a perfect balance of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and light, airy mascarpone. * Le Vacherin chocolate($14): A dramatic, towering showstopper. It layers crisp, sweet meringue with chocolate ice cream, all draped in a decadent chocolate and berry coulis. The Verdict Value: 9/10 | Vibe: 8.5/10 | Taste: 9/10 Entrecôte Restaurant successfully strips away the pretense of fine dining while keeping all of the flavor. For $44, La Formule offers some of the best value in Vancouver for a steak dinner, and the quality of the execution--especially that secret sauce--keeps you wanting more. It's an ideal spot for a date night, a catch-up with friends, or anyone looking to escape to Paris for an evening without leaving Gastown.

It's a bit of a hike from downtown, but there is street parking, and we opted to take public transportation. Once you arrive, it's absolutely worth the trip. The historic building, interior design, and overall vibe are excellent. It's the kind of place where you can enjoy a great meal and drinks, have a conversation, or simply relax and hang out for a while. They also have vegan options, which always makes me happy! From pizza to dessert, there's something for pretty much every diet. The food was fresh, portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. They also offer happy hour specials on their house wines--yay! There are so many delicious local wines to choose from. Service is usually stellar, and this visit was no exception. Haze was incredible--friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely kind--making an already great experience even better. I love this off-the-beaten-path winery and will definitely make a point of visiting every time we're in Vancouver. Definitely worth the trip!

    Cute lil date spot! My review is only wine and dessert as we came here after my husband's bday…read moredinner for a nightcap. We both ordered red wines to start which we both enjoyed. Good wine list! Hubby switched to a negroni that he liked and I had more wine but this time late night happy hour had started which was a nice treat! We ordered the Dolce de leche dessert and the kitchen was lovely and gave us both desserts on the menu as a bday treat. The rice dessert was incredible - it was like sticky toffee pudding but with a rice base. The caramel sauce was killer! It blew the dolce dessert outta the water. The service was also kind and attentive! The music choices were odd for our night, I love vinyl and collect it myself but just wasn't feeling the vibes that evening, it was a lot of house style music and the same beat over and over with no lyrics. Some folks loved it tho and had asked to move closer to the speaker so to each is own. The tables are also really close to your neighbor so you catch quite abit of convo around you and it's a touch distracting especially when it starts to get little loud as the room is small. It was fun to people watch though.

    I'm so split on Bar Gobo. Small but mighty wine selection including natural wines…read more We went in considering the prix fixe menu thats $65 per person but ended up ordering off the menu to try the things we wanted to as we weren't sure if the prix fixe menu would include all that piqued our interest. Ordering style was interesting, after we ordered our small plates we were ready to select our main courses but the staff just took our menu away and we had to ask another server to put in our main entrees. I understand they were busy so they may have assumed we were done ordering but it was a bit of an off putting experience. Overall food was good, the bread was divine. The highlight item for us was the tuna tar tar with chinese donuts, the chili crips totally brought the dish together. Everything else was pretty good, but wasn't amazing as I hoped. The citrus notes in the canton noodles threw me off and the chicken liver mochi balls felt more like a dessert dish than an appetizer for some reason. Highlight was having the DJ also be one of the servers!! Love the vibes that Bar gobo had, definitely a good date spot. Will have to come try it out again next season.

They've a lovely patio facing the seawall, and especially in the summer, it looks so inviting, and patrons often bring their dogs, and I just love the whole vibe. In the winter, too, it always looks like people are enjoying themselves here, with the warm lighting and twinkling lights. Since this wine bar is attached to the restaurant Provence, I've often passed here and heard live jazz musicians and singers who perform certain nights of the week, and man, they sound GOOD. It just always felt like this would be a super place to mellow out, have a glass of good wine, relax with friends, either on a summer day or at night, any season. I finally got to check it out in person today. I went with a friend for a drink mid-day, sitting outside. The weather was lovely, and it was a perfect day. Carmen was our server and she was great. I appreciated how knowledgable she was regarding all the wine and cocktail selections. My friend had a glass of white wine which she loved, and I had an amazing cocktail with lavender and rose. They have a decent happy hour selection which, unfortunately, we were too early to partake of. Their regular wine menu is extremely extensive. What a great neighborhood place! Will definitely return.

You'd think I have alcohol in my veins or something. The food is good and very reasonably priced. I'll have to eat during their happy hour sometime. I know I'll be back. Pro tip: The Sterling Vinyards merlot is the bomb.
