As owner operator of a french bistro for 6 years I have a certain affinity for French Parisian cuisine. Last week I visited Les Faux Bourgeois in East Vancouver with an old friend. I have wanted to visit this eatery for a while and I just recently met with the owner Andy.
To start we shared the moules mariniere ($17), mussels in white wine, garlic and parsley, with pommes frites. These were some of the best mussels I have ever had and the white wine sauce was perfect. We also shared, salade de chevre Chaud ($11), Warm goat cheese crostini, walnuts, organic greens, beets and sherry vinaigrette. It was delicious; I could have had another plate.
For our mains, we both could not resist but to order Le Steak Frites ($19), Hanger steak served with frites. I ordered mine medium rare with red wine shallot jus and my friend ordered his with the peppercorn sauce. I had a chance to try both sauces, both very deep in flavor, and I assure you these are made with a traditional preparation and from home made stock. Even mid week you can count on this bistro being full. We got there for the first seating and watched as the room filled. We ended up staying quite a while with owner operator Andy joining us for drink, watching many dinners leaving from the first seating and obse3rving the entire room fill up for a second time. The place was jumping! The atmosphere had the air of many very happy dinners. The service was second to none. I was very impressed with my experience and highly recommend that you visit this amazing french bistro tucked away at Fraser & Kingsway on 15th Avenue.
