🇨🇦 ​​Le Crocodile Under New Leadership - Still a Vancouver Classic!​

Finally made it to ​​Le Crocodile​​, Vancouver's legendary French restaurant that continues to shine under new head chef ​​Rob Feenie​​ (since early last year)! Here's our tasting journey: ​​🍽️ Our Menu Selection:​​ • 2 Appetizers • 1 Soup • 2 Main Courses ​​🌟 Standout Dishes:​​ 🐸 ​​Roasted Frog Legs​​ - The star of our evening! Aromatic garlic notes paired with tender frog legs, spinach purée, and brioche crumbs created absolute magic. 🥩 ​​Steak Tartare​​ - Pro tip: Eat it with their complimentary toasted bread! The crunch + velvety beef = perfect texture play. ​​🍲 The Good & The Salty:​​ 🍅 ​​Tomato & Gin Soup​​ - A tad salty for my taste, but the cheesy breadsticks were divine. 🍄 ​​Grilled Veal Medallions​​ - Cooked perfectly well-done yet remained tender, with an intense morel mushroom sauce reminiscent of cream of mushroom soup. 🌿 ​​Herb Crusted Lamb Saddle​​ - Beautiful medium-rare doneness with a sweet-savory pumpkin/beet/mint sauce (though sauces overall leaned salty). ​​💫 The Vibe:​​ Witnessed the sweetest anniversary couple nearby - clearly regulars who get greeted by both the chef and manager! That "homecoming" warmth is what makes this place special. ​​🥖 Silver Lining:​​ The poached vegetables served with mains provided much-needed freshness amid the rich flavors. ​​🍷 Wine Pairing Pro Tip:​​ Their sommelier selections never disappoint - we enjoyed a beautiful Burgundy that cut through the richness perfectly. ​​Hey food lovers!​​ Who else has visited since the chef change?
