Best Bistros in Gastown

Dinner was excellent! The smoked fish dip was tasty and well proportioned. Hubby had the coq au vin and it was presented beautifully with silky potatoes. The squash tart was so delicious, with great textures, colours and flavours. It’s always a little scary to pick a restaurant from a brief description but Tableau was a nice surprise! It’s a relaxed French restaurant with excellent food - book a table and enjoy!

My mom and I have been dining at Uli’s for years and always have a good experience. Food and service are usually good. Today our server was exceptional. Emma B was the best server I’ve not only had at Uli’s but in general, in a long time. She was helpful and attentive without being overbearing, warm, chatty and clearly knowledgeable and fond of the place she worked. She cares and it’s evident from how she engaged with us and the other guests. Bravo Emma, I hope this review makes its way to you and your superiors and that you receive the recognition and appreciation that you deserve.

We had an unforgettable dinner at @alouetteyvr, and we couldn’t be more grateful! A special shoutout to our incredible server, Paul, and the Manager/Sommelier, who went above and beyond to make our evening truly magical. I savored the Coq au Vin, which was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked, generous portions, and served at just the right temperature, with impeccable timing between dishes. The Sommelier, who also happens to be the Manager, impressed us with his deep knowledge and passion for wine. Together with Paul, they created an exceptional dining experience we’ll never forget. Thank you for an amazing evening! 🥂✨

I have been a regular customer for the past 20 years, and continue to be amazed at how such a small place can provide such outstanding food. The place is always full; you need a reservation. They don't advertise, and the small sign outside is a recent addition. You had to know about the place to eat there, but they have never lacked customers. The ownership changed about a year ago, but the quality did not change. I have never had a bad, or even an average meal there.

Amazing food! Many GF items and you’d never know it. So creative and delicious! Everyone should know about it and go there! Because it’s a golf course you can be golf attire casual too if you want!! Please suooort this wonderful place!!
