    Pork Belly
    Kevin W.

    Great ambience and fantastic food at Tour De Feast. After researching a plethora of places to eat during my latest trip to Vancouver, and another handful of French cuisine contenders, I ended up deciding that Tour De Feast was the winner. We arrived near the beginning of dinner service, after 2-lengthy hikes. Wanting something substantial, we ended up each ordering our own entrees and splitting a 3rd entree. My partner ended up getting the Steak, I ended up getting the Duck Breast (although the Duck Confit was so close to winning out) and we split the Pork Belly. The front of house manager was fantastic in ensuring that we were taken care of, well hydrated with our water, and brought out everything in perfect order. He was able to engage in light conversation while also checking to make sure other tables were well attended to. Each of our three dishes came out perfectly made, was very well balanced, and left us wanting to return here on our next Vancouver trip. We informed him that we were from the Bay Area and that we purposely took on a second hike just so that we can plan around dining here (which was all true).

    Pulled Chicken Sandwich
    Stephen C.

    Heard from friends and seen online about here. Small cozy place. Parking in the back and on the streets. Fresh made and kids enjoyed their sandwiches too. Service was pleasant, polite and attentive to refill of coffee or water. Had the following - * Full French * Croque Madame with salad * Pulled Chicken sandwich I would come back and try for dinner if I am in North Vancouver.

    Full French ($18)

    We came for brunch and got in around 1:50pm and it was close to them closing for lunch (they close at 2:30pm with last call at 2pm). They checked with the kitchen and was ok to take us, thankfully. Granted, they had a lot of tables still working on their food. I liked the food. The braised short rib in the Black Bar and the short rib in the sandwich tasted the same. I like the robust seasoning but hubby found it on the smokey side. The kids loved their Full French dish. I wouldn't go out of my way just to come here as they serve similar fare as some other restaurants, but if I'm in the neighborhood again, I'll come back. Parking at the back was a bit confusing since they only have about 2 spots. But they said since it's the weekend, the unit next door was closed so we could use their parking.

    It has been a long time since I was wowed by a dish. This place did not disappoint and totally deserved the stars given. I have heard and read about this place and covid hit before I could try it. It was take out mostly then. We decided to try it over the weekend and were lucky to get a table as the place was tiny. There was a line waiting outside when we left. The menu is not extensive which is a good thing. It makes ordering easier. We decided on the cassoulet and my friend was also blown away by the dish. Served in a cast iron pan, it was filled with eggs, beans, meat, potatoes and toast. Forget about this dish if you were on a diet as it was full of flavor and good fats. The eggs were perfectly poached with soft yolks which ran slightly. The lardon bacon was fattier than regular bacon. The weisswurst sausage was flavorful and soft. Potatoes were nicely crisped around the edges with steamy soft flesh. Then the star of the dish -- pork rillette. So rich and so good when eaten with the toast. I always love duck rillette and this pork version was equally yummy. The navy beans just completed completed the dish, making it an hearty meal. I would need to come back to try the duck confit and short rib sandwich. Lovely service staff and the place is non fancy. A nice casual small place for good French food. Limited parking at rear, find side street parking instead.

    Lemon creme brûlée and chocolate pate.

    We found Tour de Feast as a happy accident during a weekend trip to North Vancouver. We made reservations based on recommendations online, and we are very glad we did. I would travel again just to get a chance to eat here again. I was so impressed with the hospitality of the staff and owners, the high food quality, cleanliness of the restaurant, unpretentious ambiance despite it being an award-winning restaurant, and the kindness and patience of the owners and their family. I highly recommend the duck breast and lemon creme brûlée, if still on the menu at the time of reading this review. They cook using seasonal ingredients, so if you like to be prepared, call ahead or take the chance. I've never eaten something so perfectly cooked, well portioned, and seasoned. I left feeling satisfied and can hands down state that it was the best meal I'd had in a long time. It's clear that someone is cooking with soul in their kitchen. They have great gluten free recommendations. I always recommend that if you have dietary restrictions, please do yourself a favor and plan ahead by giving them a call to ask! All in all, do not sleep on Tour de Feast!

    What a wonderful find, intimate and cozy, minimal decor and in the least likely of neighbourhoods. First off I'd have to say they're COVID friendly! Meaning they are following the rules, less tables, spread out and wearing face masks and disinfecting everything after each table is done and distancing themselves as much as possible during service. This made me feel a lot better about going out to dine again. My overall impression is the food is carefully prepared and not unlike any better dining experience you'd find in Paris. Bonus here is they cater to North American appetites! Portions are generous. The fois gras mousse appie is a must try for first timers! Light in texture but full in taste without being overly rich feeling on the tongue as you would with a solid piece. The onion jam is super tasty and goes well with the airy brioche it's served with. The other appie you must try is the Alsacienne onion tart. Served with a small side of greens, this is one to share. It has a wonderful light flaky buttery crust and equally tasty filling of melt in your mouth onions! The house charcuterie was also very good and another appie you could share! I can't say enough good things about the rest of our meal so you should just go and try it for yourself! Oh the lemon tart for dessert was excellent!

    st. germain and chambord

    julia's bday celebration continues - this time with my bestie s. it was also a semi-celebration for her new job! i can't rmb where i found this hidden gem but boy was it worth it! it is located just off the highway in north van, and the restaurant itself was a small, quaint place hidden around industrial shops. there is parking in the back and ample street parking around the place. as it is a smaller restaurant, resos are def recommended. we were greeted right away at the door - the owner asked if we had resos, which we did. she rmb that it was a bday dinner and asked who's bday it was. julia received more bday greetings, and yes it is never enough! there is a rotating drinks/wine list, which is not found on the site so julia had to decide what she wanted to have. i ultimately had the st. germain and s had the chambord. both were refreshing and light - perfect start to the dinner! some complimentary bread was provided and both of us loved that it was lightly toasted. it was crispy and warm - s' not a big fan of bread and thoroughly enjoyed it. we shared the mussels - the sauce was garlicky with a bit of a kick from chilli peppers. the sourdough bread that came with the dish was perfect to soak up the juices! the mussels were fresh and decent sized. i had the duck confit while s had the lamb shank. my duck confit was done amazingly - the skin was crispy and flavourful, the meat fell right off the bone and the jus on the bottom tied everything together. there were small slices of bacon that was a nice surprise as well. s shared some of her lamb with me even tho i'm not a big fan of lamb personally. the shank was not gamey at all - peeve of mine and basically why i don't like lamb - and the mash was smooth and creamy. we were stuffed at this point and didn't order any dessert. there was a table beside us with 2 ladies that did order dessert, and theirs looked delicious! when we were paying, the owner told us that they have brunch everyday. guess that means julia will be dropping by very soon

    Wild mushroom fricasse.
    Jessica M.

    Came across this place as it had a good amount of reviews for a place in Vancouver. I guess Yelp isn't widely used there? Anyway, we were on our way to do the Quarry Rock hike and wanted a place to eat on the way. We got here right as they opened, and was welcomed into their super warm and cozy restaurant. The place is pretty small, so I can see it getting crowded as it nears peak time. The servers were very nice, and asked us multiple times whether we had any allergies! (I later noticed that every place we went to in Vancouver asked this question, but they were the first!) I've only eaten French food a handful of times, so I wasn't familiar with the menu items. I ended up ordering the wild mushroom fricasse. The dish had tomatoes, potatoes, avocado, poached eggs, and crostini. I probably should've ordered something more familiar, but I wanted to be adventurous and try something new. The bread with the juices was good, but I wasn't a fan of the heavy tomato and mushroom flavor. The coffee they served was really good though. Even though I didn't like my dish, I wouldn't mind coming back and ordering something else!

    I hadn't been here for a couple of years. We came here for lunch and found the food to be the same - simply tasty and fresh! We both ordered the avocado and focaccia. The bread was crispy topped with 2 sunny side eggs. You have a choice of bacon or sausage. We felt safe as we were seated a good distance from other tables. They do a great job keeping the place clean. Next time we hope to visit for dinner. It's good to know they have prepared food for takeout. Parking is a bit of a challenge but it's worth it considering you're getting quality food. There are side streets nearby.

    Duck leg confit skillet
    Sangeetha M.

    I came here for brunch on a rainy day. There's parking right outside...convenient. The restaurant is smaller than I thought and has cozy vibes which I liked. The people working there (owner maybe?) was really warm and friendly. I was super excited to try the duck confit skillet and it was good! It was a lot of food for me though, I couldn't finish it. Then we were craving something sweet so we ordered something chocolatey, like a torte, which was really rich and just didn't hit the spot. Can't remember what exactly.

    Rack of lamb

    Wonderful experience! We showed up a few minutes before they opened at 5:15 and they worked to get us seated quickly. We ordered the duck breast and rack of lamb and both were delicious! Great service, clean place, and yummy food. Definitely give this place a try.

    Some of Metro Vancouver's best Christmas attractions are on the North Shore including at Grouse Mountain and Capilano Suspension Bridge. There are also a number of excellent Christmas artisan markets and Christmas shopping in the Lower Lonsdale area of North Vancouver. We decided to go out for brunch before going shopping and exploring Christmas attractions. We picked Tour De Feast since it is one of the highest-rated restaurants about their brunch. We would say Tour De Feast has the best cassoulet in town. It includes soft poached egg, white navy beans, weisswurst sausage, lardon bacon, swiss, and confit pork. It was well seasoned, and it was incredibly tasty. We really enjoyed it! Tour De Feast is a super tiny restaurant in the centremost part of North Vancouver's industrial area. It is located at 319 Mountain Hwy, North Vancouver, BC. Food: 5/5 Must Try! Service: ‍‍‍‍4/5 Kids: 3/5 A-OK for kids. Price: $30-$50 for two (Brunch) Presentation: 3/5 Parking: 1/5 - has only a few stalls in the back of the restaurant. Tips: *recommends to book a reservation as it is a small place with limited seating. *serves classic French cuisine. Would I Return: Yes ‍

    Veggie panini
    Nasime S.

    A hidden gem! My friend and I went based on reviews, and they for sure live up to them. Our waitress was so sweet, and the food was delicious. I went for lunch and ordered the vegetable panini, and it was loaded with flavour.The side of chips were plentiful and a great side. I highly recommend to anyone looking for something new to try in North Van!

The Parisian sandwich and thin fries were ultra good. Best ham ever. Not salty and complex flavours, meaty. Too bad can't buy this anywhere unless imported. The French Onion Soup was well balanced. Rich, savory, the aroma draws you in, offset by the warmth from the spice. It is a soup that you can never get enough of. This was done very well. Duck Leg Cassoulet Stew had a great texture and flavour profile. Would have been nice if there is toast or baguette to go with it. Only criticism is it is awfully small for a main dish. And the duck leg is only half of what we normally get from a duck confit. Which was surprising.

Food is always on point ... with excellent presentation! Star items : French Onion Soup ... this alone can be the reason for me to drive here from Richmond! The rich broth is fully infused with the sweetness of caramelized onion, which blended seamlessly with the beef broth! Very hearty and I would indulge myself with extra cheese! Oh why not!? Braised Lamb Shank ... tender and very rich with the sauce that it was bath in ... the Chef was able to elevate this classic dish several levels up! Service is always attentive and friendly, too bad driving from Richmond limited my alcohol intake as I really love to try out more of their Cocktails!

Been wanting to go back (guessed I mentioned it too many times so got taken!). Absinthe Bistro is my favourite French Restaurant in Vancouver.

Down-to-earth, home like vibes here which is so reflective of small Bistros in France. Food is amazingly delicious, portion size is excellent, and offers fixed price menu which I recommend. As there were three of us, we ordered 3 fixed price menus. We got to sample three dishes in each section of the starters, mains and desserts. Loved it all but my favourites are chestnut mushroom soup, escargots, pork cheeks, AAA steak, lemon tart and chocolate lava cake (it's their classic and been on the menu forever!).

Our choices of French wines (by the glass) paired perfectly with our entrees (halibut and lamb shank). The lemon tart and creme brulee provided a sweet ending to an extraordinary meal. All of this goodness served with casual elegance by our very attentive, gracious and graceful waitress.

    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.

From the host to our waiter, the staff here are truly hospitable and provided excellent service. Firstly, their lobster bisque is still amazing. It is served tableside, piping hot and fresh. You have the option to add on a delicious baguette, baked fresh from Small Victory bakery, which perfectly complements the bisque. This was definitely the star of the show, but we also really enjoyed the endive salad. The bluefin tartare was tasty as well. Unfortunately, they seem to have an issue with temperature when it comes to the entrees. Surprisingly, their chicken supreme was the best dish, which was served relatively hot. I'm unsure if we were just unlucky but the other dishes were either lukewarm or room temperature. It was odd because in the seafood medley, the scallops were still at a decent temperature but the lobster was nearly cold. We had the same issue with the lamb. However, we did not send anything back as we dislike wasting food, so we let it go and the waiter did take note at the end.

    Chez Michel is under new ownership. Michel has sold the restaurant. We were there for dinner last…read moreevening. We had reservations and Linda one of the waitresses acknowledged our presence as she was taking care of customers at a table. An Oriental lady came, seated us at a table and gave us menus and water. We asked if they had any specials that evening and she said that we would have to get that information from our server. Chez Michel used to have a very extensive list of specials but that has been cut back considerably. They also used to give complimentary soup or salad if you were seated before 6:00 but apparently this is no longer offered. Our server Linda is absolutely exemplary. She was the hardest working of the servers and had such a pleasant personality. I'm so glad that she was our server. She offered us extra bread and she allowed us to substitute pomme frites for the mashed potatoes on our entrees. She topped up our wine, chatted with us and made our whole evening so much more enjoyable with her attitude and effort to ensure that we were well served during our meal. We shared the escargot as an appetizer and we were given time to digest our appetizer, as requested before our entrees were served. For our entrees my husband had New York steak with pepper sauce and I had veal tenderloin with mushroom sauce. I recall the food as being much better. My husband said that his steak was rather bland and my thin slices of veal tenderloin were on the dry side. It was a good evening mainly because of Linda. It is not as good as it used to be and we'll have to wait and see if the new owners can maintain the high standards and good value that used to be the hallmark when Michel owned the restaurant. I hope that our experience last evening was just growing pains.

    Over the years, I've come to really appreciate good French restaurants more and more. So when we…read morefound ourselves on the North Shore in early November, we decided to pop into Chez Michel. Located on the 2nd floor, this cozy eatery didn't disappoint. Our meals began with the requisite complimentary bread and butter. There's just something about fresh, crusty bread that really speaks to me. Plus, they refilled our bread without even asking. We weren't sure how hungry we would be so they offered to prepare a side Caesar Salad ($4.50) instead of a full order. French Onion Soup ($10) is something that I always make a point of trying at a French restaurant and this one didn't disappoint. Lots of tender onions in the bowl and a super cheesy pull with each spoonful. Last up was their Special Moules Frites ($27) - they had a number of ways that this could be prepared but we opted for the saffron, pernod, garlic, butter, and fennel. The mussels comes with a big serving of addictive fries (with a mayo dipping sauce). Speaking of large.... this bowl of mussels was overflowing. The 1lb of mussels were really good (no closed shells) and the mussels were nice and plump. Overall, really good food here and service to match. We're definitely planning on returning in the future.

    Wow! This place was simply phenomenal. Found it accidentally…read morewhile looking for a place to grab a beer. The warmth of the light and the laughter of those at the bar really drew me in. 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
