    Smoked Salmon
    Jason S.

    I had the Smoked Salmon and it turned out to be really tasty. The corn pancakes instead of an English Muffin was a great alternative to the traditional Eggs Benedict recipe and the Hollandaise sauce was well made. The service was excellent with being friendly and quick. The ambiance is that of a relaxing place and good way to spend the morning before starting your day.

    Food was alright. Inordered crab and lobster omelet. You could not taste any of those. Service was good. Ambiance was great

    Seared Beef Tenderloin

    We came here for dinner on a weekend, and it's a great choice for a date night or special occasion, especially with the beautiful ocean views and elegant ambiance. Service was attentive throughout the meal, and the food quality was consistently high. We tried a variety of dishes and were impressed overall, with one small service miss worth noting. What we tried * Seared beef tenderloin * Duck Duo * Crab and shrimp cakes * Escargot * West Coast-style bouillabaisse * Wild mushroom ravioli with prawns * Fondant au chocolat * Crème caramel Pros * Excellent service, even during a busy weekend dinner * High-quality, well-executed dishes across the menu * Beautiful, romantic ambiance with ocean views * Desserts were a standout and a perfect way to end the meal Cons The escargot is extremely rich and buttery but does not come with bread. Bread must be ordered separately, which isn't mentioned upfront. You only find out once the escargot arrives, then have to wait again for bread, which takes away from the experience since the dish really needs it. Overall, a lovely spot with strong food and ambiance. A small service detail to flag, but still an excellent option for a date night or special dinner.

    It is a huge restaurant offering both patio heated and indoor seating. Located right by the water, it offers a very relaxing ambiance. Decent quality except the scallops I had is a bit sandy. The pasta is on the salty side especially the salmon. They offer a dessert for the birthday person which is very generous these days. Attentive service. Overall an enjoyable experience.

    My wife and I were craving for egg Benedict near Yaletown and we found this French Bar and Grill restaurant. We were warmly welcomed by the lady who dressed in red (the owner?) and got the table without waiting for long. Servers were efficient and we could order foods quickly. I ordered the smoked salmon bennies. It was nicely cooked with potatoes cooked with butter. Simple but delicious. That's what I wanted. It was an enjoyable breakfast, especially in a rare sunny morning in Raincouver. Foods were good. Mood was good.

    The food here is amazing! The atmosphere and professional service by the staff made my dinner tonight absolutely wonderful. Thank you Jean-Francis for preparing our menu tonight and Luka (or Lucas) for serving us. I came here to celebrate a birthday for a friend and tonight was just absolutely fabulous. Jean-Francis made a custom 7 course meal for our group of 18 and we had a marvelous night full of great food, wonderful drinks and great service. This is one of the best dining experiences I have had in a very long time. Provence Marinaside, you have earned my 5 stars! Pro tip: Ask for bread and dip it with every dish that has sauce. Every dish can be savored even more with extra bread. Especially if your dish has extra sauce or is accompanied with custom butter.

    I picked the perfect day to walk along the water side in Vancouver and stop for lunch here. What an idyllic atmosphere on the patio with the Sun shining and a perfect lunch with a glass of red wine. Shrimp and scallop spaghettini with British Columbia wine

    Seems like a touristy place. But food and service quite good. Wine is ridiculously expensive!

    Tarte au Citron

    The ambiance and service was great, the food was mostly mediocre for the price. Still enjoyed it though

    The happy chef in his element.

    On our recent visit to your extraordinary city, we had the honor and privilege, of dining at Provence Marinaside. I perused the background of the chef, Jean Francis Quaglia, and his restaurant, a pillar of award-winning Southern French Mediterranean cuisine since 2002. A native of Marseille, Quaglia met his future wife, Canadian chef Alessandra Mossa, in Nice. His own background ("a culinary giant and mentor to young chefs" said the French ambassador to Canada), was as deep or more so, their match far beyond au natural. We crave seafood. Two orders of oysters in a pear vinegar mignonette were followed by crispy calamari with lemon aioli and a baguette with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. My wife, son and I then shared a seafood linquini with a fine rose. Too good, we had to continue. Our main dish was Plateau de Fruits de Mer. Presentation alone prompted joy and laughter: "Wait, first we photograph it, then make a painting, then we can eat." I've never had a more delicious plate of fresh seafood. After dinner, we met the owner/chef and several loyal staffers. When artists are passionate, they work harder. A pal of mine is a veteran jazz-program director whose passion came from a father who played sax with Charlie Parker. Quaglia's pioneering mother, chef Suzanne Quaglia, was among the first female chefs of notoriety in France. This is a man whose work is his passion, and it was obvious when I met him. That smile is real. Evidently, time flies when you're having fun. "It feels like only yesterday when we opened," Quaglia said. "The location always reminds me of my home in Marseille which is one of the reasons I chose it." We work hard and appreciate a superior dining experience, especially on vacation with love ones in a wonderful, sophisticated, multi-cultural city like Vancouver. And when the check comes, I rarely blink. That said, far too many restaurants leave us feeling overcharged and underwhelmed, and I never, ever deal with people who can't be kind, yet another reason why we will return to Provence Marinaside, like so many faithful patrons. Super-fresh, sensational dishes at fair prices, served with loving care. ~ Pepper Pro

    Snooty service made for a distasteful dinner. The restaurant especially the outdoor patio is a choice spot for a special date nite ~ be entertained with the boardwalk passerbys strolling with pups. The place was busy, so ordered entrees came out slowly. No problem there. It was the laughable conceited personalities from host to server ~ rolling eyes and rude tone that kept us wondering is it too much to ask for an extra napkin? Wrong to ask for another beer? If the bill comes to $200 requesting hot sauce should come with a le sourire :( The location is prime and is why the menu is $$$$.

    Crab Cake Benedict
    Shonah M.

    So when the potatoes taste better than the main part of the dish = Mayday!!! It's been awhile since I last ate here & I was so looking forward to it. I guess I was reminded why it had been so long! I was not really impressed with my Benedict. It lacked that, as the French say, that certain - "Je ne sais quoi!" I've been spoilt like a king via amazing classic Benedicts (ala Botanist & ARC restaurants) & had high expectations that were not met! Provence Marinaside is a beautiful restaurant & perfectly located alongside the waterfront at False Creek, but the food = meh! Breakfast left me wanting so much more than what I just ate & experienced! Quality & taste was mediocre! I really wanted this to be a 5 Star experience but it wasn't! Honestly I left here with sadness! I'm willing to give dinner a try ... well just maybe!?? Comme ci comme ça!

But what really sets it apart is the people. Every single person we interacted with, from our servers to the management team, was genuinely kind, attentive, and made us feel like regulars by day two. The food? Consistently incredible. Not a single miss across four days, which feels almost suspicious (in the best way). The portions are generous without being overwhelming, and every plate comes out looking like it belongs on a magazine cover. You can tell there's real care behind what they're doing. A special shoutout to Leah, the manager, who somehow manages to be both incredibly professional and effortlessly personable. She runs a tight ship but still makes time to connect, which doesn't go unnoticed. By the end of our trip, Alouette wasn't just a breakfast spot--it became part of our routine, and honestly, part of what we'll miss most about Vancouver. I'd come back here in a heartbeat... and very likely order the exact same thing all over again.

The space is much nicer, with high ceilings and lots of light - great looking bistro. I ended up trying the following: - Mussels: Very good.

A nice little snack, although it would be easy to recreate at home. - Lamb Chops: Very good. Cooked just right, and the pepper sauce added extra flavour. - Fried Frog Legs: Very good. This was probably the surprise dish for me. They weren't just the legs, but the entire bottom of the frog, so the pieces were huge. The garlic, butter and chili flakes gave it a extra punch.

It's a great space, the food is solid, and service to match. What I really like is having the variety of both French and Vietnamese dishes, without either of them suffering in quality.

However i find the escargot a bit pricey with the quantity and the way it was prepared. Slightly too oily to my personal prefence The iced vietnamese coffee we ordered tasted similar to a regular iced coffee, missing the sweet condensed milk flavor for a vietnamese coffee

I ended up trying the Hand Cut Beef Tartare, Burrata Cheese, Sablefish and Beef Tenderloin, and I have the same comment for each of them - all classically prepared focusing on simple ingredients, simple preparation and nicely plated. These dishes are timeless, and I feel that these are same fine-dining dishes that have existed i. high end restaurants in Vancouver from 30 years ago. That's not a bad thing, because they will always please the palate, but in the same vein, not as memorable either. It was actually the desserts that stood out for me, because they were less traditional and more of a surprise. Service was spot-on. We had a dedicated server for our table and she was attentive, friendly and professional. She was everything you would want in fine-dining restaurant. Overall a nice meal. I don't think you can have a bad meal here, but haven eaten at a lot of fine-dining restaurants , I know the dishes won't stand out in my memory either. But the view will, and that's the main reason one would go here.
