However, we were happy grabbing a nearby coffee while we waited. When we were finally seated, we wanted to order nearly everything on the menu. Everything sounded delicious. We ended up ordering the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, banana bread, shakshuka, and French toast. The eggs Benedict was delicious with its light and creamy hollandaise sauce and perfectly poached eggs. Shakshuka was just ok, I feel like it could've packed more flavor. The French toast was amazing. The dish itself was ginormous, but we finished every bite. Everyone left feeling happy and full!

Restaurant located in/near Vancouver downtown. We walked down here during vacation stay in…read moreVancouver. Didn't see any parking besides street parking. A stylish and clean restaurant. They also have a bar area. Kind of an Asian French fusion menu. Food dishes were good and creative, but it didn't really appeal to me. I appreciated the good service and chill atmosphere, but not sure if I would come back. I would say that their house made spicy was really good. A mix of sweet, sour, and spicy. Had a brightness to it yet also very, very spicy. Tastes great on many of the dishes, especially if you wanted a nice "kick" to the food. I believe you can order a jar to take home if you wish.

The space is much nicer, with high ceilings and lots of light - great looking bistro. I ended up trying the following: - Mussels: Very good. Classic dish, but I really like the use of cream in the broth. - Bánh Mì Cay Hải Phòng (Spicy Baguette Sticks): 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. I really enjoyed this one. - Pho Bo: Good. Not the best pho I've had, but it's good enough to stand on it's own. Service was quite good. Very cheerful and quite attentive. Overall a nice meal. 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. Only downside is that is it expensive for what you get.

Le Crocodile by Rob Feenie has had a refresh that's for sure. I like the new chairs with the…read morecushions that give a nod to crocodile skin aesthetics along with the warm golden tones and the beautiful semi-private seating nook. The front of the house/bar area seems to be more vibrant colours with the bright pop of red which ties into the rugs in the main dining area. I'd probably remove the second rug but if I had to guess, I'd say red may be Feenie's favourite colour as it is a touch out of place. With Michelin stars making their debut in Vancouver only a few years ago, it seems that perhaps Le Crocodile may be gunning for a star as much of the Lower Mainland seems to be. The level of service is excellent; friendly and speedy, everything you could ever want. The food is elevated but has more non-french or fusion themes going on than before. The foie gras terrine topped with cherries is the perfect combo of sweet and creamy; the brioche really brings it home. The French onion soup is gooey and rich with depth of flavour however the cheese had a bit too much of a smoky burnt taste as opposed to a charred broil. The dover sole was perfectly de-boned at table side and my mouth was watering while watching. It could've used a touch more seasoning but other than that the sides made it so elegantly French that it brought tears to my eyes. I could have done with a touch less beurre blanc as it was almost on the verge of drowning the beautiful dover sole. The presentation of Le Crocodile's dishes are truly Michelin level. I thoroughly enjoyed the medium-rare veal with what seemed to be home-made pasta and the sauce that raised it to the next level. Desserts were great and although the mini chocolates at the end are no longer in a crocodile shape they do have a decorative gold crocodile made by no other than Thomas Haas which brings in the local vibes. There were tiny things such as the scratched bread plates, the loose tea on the tea pot lid, and a small fibre in the menu which are going to be the very difference between staying at this high level and gaining a star that will need to have more attention to detail. With all that said, I'd still recommend anyone who loves French cuisine to make sure to stop by this spot.

It seemed so pleasant and inviting. Everyone greeted us like friends and wanted us to enjoy. They offered us any place in the house. Then gave us the best view. The food was amazing. Everything tasted so balanced and was paired with other flavors in a way I would never have imagined. And the price point was reasonable given the care and attention they gave to each dish. We ordered cocktails just to experiment and were blown away by their creations. I will be back as soon as possible. I can't wait to experience more and I will be bringing friends and family. 5+ Stars

We have dined here many times over the years, celebrating countless birthdays and other special…read moreoccasions. It has always been a restaurant we could rely on for exceptional food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable view. Once again, the staff accommodated us with a fantastic table, and we sincerely appreciate their hospitality. Unfortunately, we arrived unaware that the restaurant had introduced an entirely new menu. The concept is a significant departure from its previous offerings, moving toward a more modern, nouvelle cuisine style with elements of fusion and a tasting-menu approach. We decided to stay with an open mind and give the new direction a fair chance. One aspect we found confusing was the menu itself. It displayed pricing only for the three- and four-course prix fixe options, along with a tasting menu, but no à la carte prices. When we inquired, we were told that à la carte ordering was available, although the explanation felt somewhat reluctant and did not make for the best first impression. We ultimately chose the three-course dinner. While the food was well prepared and flavorful, the value was among the poorest we have experienced at a fine dining restaurant. For example, one main course consisted of two small strips of Wagyu beef (approximately 2-3 ounces), a few dollops of foam, and a single asparagus floret. The other main courses were similarly modest in portion, and the appetizers were little more than a few bites. To the restaurant's credit, the service remained exceptional throughout the evening. The staff were attentive, friendly, and professional, maintaining the high standard we have always associated with this establishment. Our biggest disappointment was not the quality of the food, but the overall value and direction of the dining experience. The emphasis now seems to be on artistic presentation and culinary theatrics rather than delivering a satisfying meal that justifies the price. While some diners may appreciate this style of dining, it simply did not meet our expectations based on our many previous visits. This experience was a reminder that even long-time favorites can change significantly. In the future, we'll be sure to review the menu before making a reservation. Sadly, despite many wonderful memories here, this visit left us disappointed, and we do not plan to return.
