Le Gavroche

Closed

Description:

Housed in a two-storey Victorian-style house within walking distance to Stanley Park, Le Gavroche has been serving French-meets-West Coast fare since 1979. The hors d'oeuvres menu is full of classic French favourites, including escargot served simply with garlic, shallots, as well as hazelnut-crusted sweetbreads with wild mushrooms. An unfussy soup and salad menu including a tableside-prepared classic Caesar salad gives way to rich and indulgent entrée selections. The mustard-crusted rack of lamb served with mint gnocchi and rosemary garlic jus, the smoked duck breast with five-spice marinated duck confit, and the fresh lobster with tarragon butter are all highlights from this menu. Additionally, owner and host Manuel Ferreira takes his deep knowledge of wines and pairs a bottle with each dish on the menu. Le Gavroche is open for dinner seven days a week, as well as lunch from Mondays to Fridays, and brunch on Sundays. The restaurant has won many awards including being voted Most Romantic Restaurant by readers in the Georgia Straight's Golden Plates Awards.
