🇨🇦 Le Crocodile: A Taste of Classic French Cuisine in Vancouver 🥖✨

Stepping into Le Crocodile feels like a mini trip to Paris – this iconic Vancouver French restaurant has been serving timeless dishes with a touch of elegance since 1984. Recently visited for a friend’s birthday, and here’s the honest scoop! 🕯️ Ambience & Service Vibe: Traditional bistro charm with white tablecloths and soft lighting – just formal enough for special occasions but still relaxed. 💫 Service: Impeccable (think: polished silverware refolds + warm bread basket refills). 👌 🍽️ The Food Verdict: Starters > Mains 🥂 Standout Starters: 1️⃣ Foie Gras Terrine Silky texture with tangy pickles, though lacking that wow liver richness. 2️⃣ Roasted Frog Legs 🐸 Tender, garlicky, and surprisingly addictive – "tastes like chicken" but fancier! 3️⃣ Seared Foie Gras with Scallop Perfectly caramelized scallop + citrusy yuzu to cut the fat. Heavy but delicious. 🍖 Mains (Good, Not Life-Changing): Grilled Veal Medallions 🥇 Tender veal + earthy morels in a dreamy sauce – the table winner! Herb-Crusted Lamb Saddle Zero gaminess, herb crust on point (but sauce MIA). Duck Breast (Medium Rare) Decent but forgettable – needed more crisp skin! 💡 Final Thoughts: A solid old-school French spot for anniversaries or parents’ night out – just don’t expect avant-garde twists. Pro tip: Book ahead (it’s always packed!). #LeCrocodileVan #ClassicFrench #VancouverEats #SpecialOccasionDining #FoieGrasForever #DateNightVibes #EatLikeTheFrench #VanCityFoodie #ThrowbackFlavors
