24 Hours - Vancouver
—Sarah Rowland
May 13, 2011

"...They were right, every last one of ’em. Les Faux Bourgeois (663 E. 15th Ave) is pretty damn perfect. Now, I too am one of those annoying people saying “Oh my God, you haven’t been to Les FauxBo? You have to go there. It’s sooooo good.”

Go ahead, be sneaky.  If you order for the table and don’t show anyone the menu, they’ll think you blew a small bundle on flakey tarte flambée Alsacienne, lamb sirloin napped a glossy sherry reduction and other richly braised French bistro classics.

NORTHWEST PALATE 
Laurie Guy 
Nov/Dec 2009

"...With traditional offerings, such a rich and flavorful pâté de campagne, steak frites, and duck confit, one feels the flavor of Paris seep in.  A fresh board offers up equally worthy specials that change each night...."

SALUT LES BON VIVANTS DE VANCOUVER!

“Uncork the wine, enjoy the dance, and let the Gods decide the rest!” Horace’s words are even more emphatic as we muddle through another wet Spring! Soon we will bid ‘adieu’ to the lamb stews and Cassoulets, and welcome the fresh Halibut, the Spot Prawns, the ‘uni’, the wild mushrooms, and all the wonderful Northwest ingredients which find their way to our kitchen.

We would like to thank all the kind and enthusiastic critics and food bloggers, who have made the trek to come and see us tucked away just north of the now blossoming Kingsway and Fraser.

Thanks to the readers of the Westender for choosing ‘Les Fauxbo’ as their favourite French destination in the city, and for wonderful kudos from both The Courier and The Georgia Straight (Stars of 2013 and Golden Plates 2013).
We have a fine ‘ensemble’ cast that is working hard to earn these kind sentiments. In the meantime, Chefs Gilles L’Heureux and Christopher Hughes are burning the midnight oil (and tapping the twilight’s kegs), preparing for the new Summer menu offerings.

As always, reservations are recommended though we do keep the dinner-bar “unreserved” for our walk-in customers.
For those who want the share 'l’amour', we are pleased to offer gift certificates for purchase.

Salut and a beautiful Spring to you all!
