This is no late-night, sloppy poutine (though we love that, too). This small but excellent Franco-German bistro in the West End adds a Canadian flair to their menu with their decadent, truffle-scented bowl of frites, roast chicken gravy and cheese curds. Rich, unctuous, dare we say gourmet, it wouldn’t be gauche to pair this with a glass of their Burgundy Pinot Noir.

The accompanying fries are excellent — salty, crispy and perfect for dunking into leftover broth. And their stock of daily fresh baguettes will also find a home in your shell-depleted bowl. Sip one of their French or German beers for the authentic experience.

Start your weekend right with half a dozen oysters, followed perhaps by some pâté de campagne, a lardon salad or a croque madame — the classic French sandwich of ham, fried egg and luscious béchamel sauce. Pair with a glass of bubbly or brunch favourite, the Caesar and you’ll be grateful you’re eating your petit déjeuner in Vancouver.
