Had a lovely Sunday brunch here. Very relaxing as the place is quiet and not too busy. Excellent services and delicious food. Onion soup is very authentic. However, the waffles are a little too soft and chewy for our likings.

We enjoyed most of our dishes: onion soup, mushroom appetizer, and mussels were great. The beef Wellington I wouldn’t get again. The service was disappointing. We just got the general feeling we weren’t very welcomed at the restaurant.

The place it is beautiful and with out of doubt on a raining day take you away from the city. The services el was well know wine and very attentive with out going over board. For the food part it just was ok.

Went for Valentines day. The food was really good but I was disappointed that they didnt have their regular menu, I guess I booked the reservation before they released the special menu. Sad because I was really looking forward to trying their escargot and creme brulee.

Absolutely delicious food and excellent service. Lovely chatting with the owner as well. Thank you!

I have lived on Main street for 4 years and only went to the French Table the first time on Valentines day. I am really impressed with this restaurant. Excellent service. This is a well run restaurant with servers committed to giving you the best experience. Although it was a set menu, we were absolutely happy with our choices. I fear that Main street doesnt give this place the love it deserves because it isnt chasing all the fads of cuisine. You will feel very welcome here. The food is delicious and presented beautifully. If you ever put off going here, stop putting it off and go.

Amazing food; had prawn and scallop appetizer and Beef Bourgignon; intimate ambiance Particularly enjoyed their family estate Aligote white wine - authentic rustic French cuisine

There are many things that made our visit to the French Table pleasant. First off the food is of extremely high quality, and the fondue is totally genuine. The host is very personable and one can tell his passion and dedication. It is pricey, but this is one of the few places where it simply does merit it.

Love the food and service at this French restaurant. The only downside was the desserts. They probably dont have a pastry chef.

Service was superb! Food was decent. Mussels were in our entree tasted like they were frozen. Duck was on the dry and salty side but presentation was nice. Service made up for the food.

A hidden gem in Vancouver, best Pinot Noir you can only get there. Herve and team always make your visit a pleasure. I do miss just dropping in after moving away from Vancouver. Great food! Bravo team!

Amazing fondue ! The portion was perfect for two, the kirch was great and the desserts were amazing ! Im french so I had high expectations and THE FRENCH TABLE did not disappoint.The service was excellent tooWe had a great night overall.Merci beaucoup

One of my favorite places to grab some food. excellent location, well organised, and good service. Very good job!

Came here for another corporate dinner. We were all very impressed with the service and food. The bread seemed endless and our glasses were always full. I wish I could have taken more pictures of the food but that would have been rude of me so I stuck with my own food. My only criticisms would be that my halibut piece was smaller than what I expected, and the food took a bit longer than expected, however it was well worth the wait. When the food came out, all of it was hot and our food arrived at the same time. We came at a quieter time and practically had the whole restaurant to ourselves which made us feel very relaxed and made the dining experience superb. We will definitely come back again in the future.

Tried this spot before with a friend and I am obsessed ever since. I enjoy the fantastic atmosphere and tasty dishes and beverages. Great work.

We Love this place

Duckterrainenewyorksteak ($10+) andchocolate mousseThere are total 20 customers with only two staff on the floor. Waiting for order and water.The duck terraine is rawly done. Chucks of meat and pepper are found...The beef steak is nicely done but the jaw is not and very salty.Chocolate mousse is below par...I suggest they can do better in normal price but this experience is not very welcoming.

The onion soup was very tasty , and even tho the puff pastry on the beef Wellington wasn’t what I expected, the flavour and tenderness of the steak was spot onnn, and their mash potato was amazing. however the duck confit was on the dry side and the beans didn’t have much flavour

Our first time there, food was great. Would recommend!

Delicious food in an intimate traditional french bistro. Started with a Lavender parfumed Martini (subtle and a great aperitif choice), charcuterie (which includes an onion marmalade, delish) main courses were the the Coq au Vin and the Duck Cassoulet... both melt in your mouth. Finished with a cheese board and, of course, a chocolate mousse, oh! And their Bordeaux 🍷(by the glass) befits the quality of their succulent fare.A must try in Vancouver.

Great food and service. I had the Duck Confit and it was delicious, well prepared and deliberate. The food was a little expensive, but youre paying for quality. There arent many french restaurants in Vancouver so this one is worth checking out if youre looking for a classy place to celebrate.

I came here with two members of my family to celebrate a wee reunion, and the waitstaff was horribly disrespectful to us. I feel that we were heavily profiled by our casual attire, which caused the wait staff to treat us like “scary poors” that were sullying their dining room. Compared to experiences at other fine dining restaurants like Bacchus where we are welcomed with kindness (to shell out less for more than we did at French Table!), I was genuinely saddened by our waiter’s notion to remind us of how much things cost before confirming our order, or suggesting a diet cola when a regular cola had been ordered, implying weird assumptions about the person ordering. He asked “where we worked” in a tone which felt interrogative rather than friendly-curious, and while tables around us saw their waters refilled and other courtesies you’d expect for the inflated price point of their offerings, we sat unwatered and trying to enjoy each other’s company despite the insulting gestures of the waitstaff. And, both men attending the restaurant were mask off or nose out when they weren’t right at a table, and sneezing and hacking along the way. Maybe this snobbery passed for class in the 80’s, but up here in future times, empathy wins. I literally recommend any French restaurant but this one, unless being degraded is something you’re into 🤘

Went for brunch, the savory crepe was amazing! Crepe was done thin and everything was cooked just right. The portion was just enough for me. Very relaxed and not busy.

A bit overpriced for the portions but their classic French food was still tasty. The owner was friendly and seemed genuine but our server wasnt as nice. I was also a bit disappointed that they didnt have their regular menu on Valentines Day as that was first and only time Ive been there.

Very good French cuisine and for what you get - this is good value for your money! No wonder they have been around for so long...lets help keep this place open!

Really good food , service wasnt the greatest but was alright. Il still give 5 stars.

Great service. Great meals, nice decoration 👌

I was very impressed with the quality of food and service and really want to go back for dinner service!

Great atmosphere with friendly staff. The French onion soup was a bit bland for my liking, and the steak that I had was so so. The presentation of my meals werent put together well, so I left them out of the pictures. Below is a pic of the desserts.

French Table gives of a authentic French dining experience. The selections are limited but they give you the best options possible. The environment and ambience is a great place to take your spouse to especially for a special occasion. Their dishes are unique and the best selection of wine is comes from France. Portion size is decent but comes with a price. In my opinion, the price is worth it.

As a French native, I can tell you that this restaurant is very French ... but not in the way that you would want it to be. The owners response to unsatisfied customers in these reviews says it all. Also, food is outrageously overpriced and does not even meet French standards. If you are looking to try a good traditional French raclette, save yourself a $100+ bill and go directly to Les Amis Du Fromage.PS : stop taking it so personally Hervé.

Great food and great people. Its always a pleasure to go to the French Table.

Cute little gem. The fondue was wonderful.

Lovely French bistro and great wine selection.

I am writing this comment to address my concerns and reasoning for low rating in response to the restaurant’s request.We’ve been at your restaurant for the first time for DineOut Vancouver. Usually, we want to try new places at this event and we would go to the ones we like most, on a regular basis in the future!There are few things I’ve experienced which were not expected in this kind of restaurant!First, the table cloth was not clean.Second, I didn’t touch my meat at all as it was too fatty and it also smelled like fat (I usually love meat). It was nice that I got some explanation about it and an offer for another dish, but it was too late at that point. As my partner has already finished his food about 5-10 minutes before they were checking on us!Finally, if somebody doesn’t touch a food at all for any reason, it’s a courtesy in most of higher end restaurant to not charge the customer for that food or offer something for future. Surprisingly, not only they charged us a full amount, but also nobody even said that they were sorry that the food didn’t meet my expectations! Acknowledging that fact was very important. It didn’t matter if they didn’t agree with me that the meat was fatty, me as a customer though it was. They needed at least to acknowledge that fact.

Great food and lovely company!

We were greeted by the most professional and friendly staff/owner. It was a beautiful atmosphere that really captured the French environment. We had the beef Wellington which was surrounded by a delightful peppercorn gravy.... even for the price I would definitely get it again. A must-try quaint dining experience backed with authenticity.

The owner is very kind and recommended delightful wines from his family vineyard. We enjoyed our time and will be back.

Fondue was unbelievable. Menu was varied and was very appealing. Owner and staff were thoughtful , attentive and treated us with exceptional service. We will dine here again very soon and looking forward to it.We just recently went back for a second time and were equally impressed. We opted to try some other menu options and again had a delicious experience. We brought another couple with us. They were impressed by their meal and incredible service.

Good service. Delicious brunch (highly recommend the Salmon Benedict and French toast). Nice ambiance as well.

Went there for dinner, quick responses for reservations.The food and service were great. Everything was wonderfully flavored, was a great little place!

Serves and food were great. Makes me miss Paris.

Excellent French fare at prices more affordable than formal dining. The average entrée is between 26 and 30 dollars. They ask for reservations for fondue, but will do it for a minimum of two people without a reservation.

The food is very traditional French. It is definitely authentic, if you are looking for a small slice of France this is it. The service is top notch and very personable.

IMHO, one of the best French restaurants in Vancouver. The owner, Herve Martin, formerly proprietor of LHermitage on Robson Street, is a master of his craft. The menu is traditional and yet exciting. The execution is non pareil. Plus, Herve and his staff are engaging, the room is welcoming, and the prices are right. If you go once, you will go again, I guarantee it.

Great food. Authentic French cuisine.

Our table started off with a Charcuterie, and it took a whole HOUR to come despite our table being one of 3 parties in the entire establishment. The food was good but I could not shake off the feeling of resentment from the staff, through thinly veiled politeness as if it was just them putting up with us, and we were doing our best to be good customers as well.The seafood linguine was dry and undercooked, the pasta tasted rubbery and the ingredients all felt like they were frozen and in fact not fresh, OR local.The wine list was satisfactory.The whole experience was just anxiety inducing and I just, I cant put my finger on this place, like something felt really REALLY not right about being in this place. Like eating the food and giving them business was a crime against humanity and I left sketched out by the place.

Service was very good. Food average. Pricing outrageous. 3x the cost of all liquor store wine and same sauce on every appetizer - all at $20 plus. Better value just about anywhere else in Vancouver, which says it all.

This place has really authentic French food made with a lot of attention to fresh ingredients. I had a cream of cauliflower soup and a morel sandwich in a divine cream sauce. Sorry folks no pictures because it looked like the kind of place where pictures are inappropriate.

I visit this place a lot since I work in the area. I got to say the service is always fantastic and they keep the spot neat consistently. Prices are affordable and they serve big portions.

Nice spot

We were disappointed in our visit to the French Table restaurant. We have dined at many of Vancouvers french restaurants and feel that our experience at the french table was quite a bit below the standards of the others. The main issue was the service. Our waiters didnt pay much attention to the fine details of how to take care of their customers. Small things like wine glasses and water glasses remaining empty until we had to ask for them, having to ask for ground pepper after receiving our meals, waiter delivered our main course and didnt even notice that a portion of my meal was missing from it nor did he check to see if our meal was ok, then once finished we sat there with empty glasses of wine and water and had to flag down the owner who served us personally. We also felt that a glass of wine was over priced. The food was ok. Best part of the meal was the desert. Creme Caramel and chocolate mouse. Would I return again? Dont think so!!

This place obviously knows how to treat their customers. Always with a welcoming attitude. The food is reasonably priced, always delicious and clean.

Decided to drop in for lunch as we were wondering along Main St. So glad we did.. Excellent food.. Excellent service.. Even the after meal coffee was great Not restaurant coffee. Well be back for dinner

The food is thankfully really good! The sauces are so tasty. A superb staff so friendly and French. If you like traditional service and a traditional atmosphere then this place is great! The wine selection is huge. I was so tired of bad service. Really enjoyed dinner with my daughter. Will be back.

Superb meals. Excellent quality. Vast selection of fine wines. A bastion of French culinary art

The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great. We had a large group so we were able to try many things on the menu-- and all of them were exquisite. The meats and seafood were cooked to perfection. I especially recommend the sautéed calf liver and the baked salmon. The portion was surprisingly generous too! Also they have colorful fun plates that I really loved. Would definitely come again next time we visit Vancouver!

The service, the atmosphere, the food all magnific! The conversations with Herve the highlight of the evening. We love him!

This place is my number one place. Of all restaurants I know I prefere it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this restaurant. Whenever I want to go to a proper lunch, this place comes right away to my mind. superb and all kinds of food and a rich cuisine.generous team, and nice mood. And very important, the expence is honest. I praise this place with no hesitation.

Excellent service, amazing food. We had the beef fondue and it was delicious. The servers were friendly and attentive. It was our first time here, and we will definitely be back.

Good french food well prepared. Service correcte!

Atomosphere was great, waiter attentive, friendly. We were there for late lunch. I had the sole. It was seasoned well and swimming in butter. I do think it could really use some more flavour, something to balance the dish. It just all tasted bland. Fries were not fresh. Seemed to me a little uninspiring for such a lovely place.I would like to try again at dinner, see if it makes a difference.

What to say! ;-) Great food, great service, great wine! This year is the second one we came in this restaurant and we remained amazed as usual. Thanks to everyone .

Im giving the restaurant one star because the service made the experience uncomfortable and unenjoyable.The owner was very rude, he seemed to treat my friend and as if we were kids. He would constantly watch us eat and come to us showing us how to eat properly. He told us to cut up our potatoes instead of eating it the certain way we wanted. We got the cheese fondue. We didnt want too much cheese on our bread but he kept coming and told us to dip more. He even took the utensils out of our hands and and push out bread deep down to the bottom of the cheese fondue. We told him it was okay, he said we werent eating the fondue properly if we didnt drench our potato or bread in cheese. I understand that we arent doing the proper way... but he should of allowed us to eat it however we want.It was constantly him coming back to our table to tell us how to eat properly which made us too uncomfortable to eat, so we just quickly left without even ordering other food or finishing our dish.I honestly want to come back and try other dishes, but I dont know how I feel if I received the same service.

The waiter was great!! I ate there with three others and we all really enjoyed both are food and the service. We will be returning.

Food is superb. Reminds me of the 20 years I lived in France. Cant find more authentic French cooking than this resto on Vancouver.

Very welcoming atmosphere, lovely patio, amazing service and the food was delicious. Cant wait to come back!

Update....has to go Five star! have been here many times now and have not been disappointed with anything, Vancouvers hidden gemStarted with the snails and mushrooms in a wonderful sauce, topped with a very nice piece of pastry.Followed with a grilled steelhead served by a very professional waiter.One of those places where you feel comfortable.

Just seeing the way the owner responds to reviews just makes me never want to eat here.French snobbery.

Been twice, its good!

Great food! Service friendly and accommodating. Great for large groups of reserved in advance. Brunch very good.

Less than memorable. Very french menu. Service below par; food arrived at varying intervals for the party, utensils not clean. No water service. A very average experience, at above average price. Wont be going back.

The most authentic traditional Bungundian French restaurant in Vancouver.Owner Hervé Martin --former proprietor of The Hermitage-- proudly serves affordable french classics and wine inspired by his family home in Chamilly, France. Cest magnifique.

Waay over priced. A bowl of sharp cheese with a candle and a baguette for $90 bucks! Hahahha

The food was good, but the service was very pretentious. We decided to go because we had a 2-for-1 coupon, but we didnt realize until after trying to use it that it was only good before 5pm. Okay, our mistake, but the staff made us feel silly for trying to use it for a 6pm dinner. We were happy to pay the full fare, but the attitude of our server did not make me want to return.

This place was the best place to go in Vancouver! All the staff was so nice great food Ill be back in the future. 👍👍

Certainly the best authentic French fare west of Paris. Gracious, knowledgeable service by Herve Martin and staff. I bring all my friends here for a memorable experience at a reasonable price.A white glove Cadillac experience for a Chevrolet price.

Awesome food and service. 5 Stars for sure.

A delightful and delicious French restaurant that has never disappointed and never will. The owner is a true delight

Portions and quality have gone down hill! Far too pricey for the quality, taste and presentation. And the waiter was not the Friendliest..

Id been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time because other peoples reviews and finally got to try this place with another two couples of our friends but with a huge disappointment. Over priced and food not good at all. Was recommended to order one of the daily special -snapper fish for $30; the presentation of the dish was so pale and the fish tasted so fishy and dry (must be overcooked) and blend! It was my first time leaving an entrie dish unfinished at a caucasion restaurant lol... also pre-ordered the beef wellington for mu hubby as recommended on their website for $46 but the steak turned out to be dry and well done, not like the pink medium rare color as shown on the photo on their website. The appetizer we ordered the scallop for $19, was told by the server that it may have 6 or 7 pieces of scallop, but it only came with tiny pieces and was very salty with capers. We had to ask for bread after the appetizer was served (they probably wouldnt serve us bread if we didnt ask for it). Over all it was bad experience. I so regret recommending our friends to come try this place with us.

Wonderful dishes, great old world style service. A classic French restaurant evening.

Food is classic French. It was very good so my compliments to the cooking staff. Decor was all over the place. Service, was spotty and that is my biggest gripe for a restaurant that charges high prices but does not offer service to match. E.g. Waiter seemed reluctant to seat us. Then did not tell is about the special of the day. No refilling of water.

Went for lunch on my birthday. Okay for selection and price. Not sure if I will return. Nothing special. I like cafe de salad de fruit more.

Excellent food and good service. Not very expensive.

The food was magnificent, convenient parking around back, service was good, but it was just SO expensive. Would not recommend for those trying to save a buck on eating out.

We went there to have some authentic French food and well, we werent disappointed. From appetizer to main course everything was bang on. It is a little on the expensive side though.

What a lovely find. Amazing food extensive wine collection and super friendly helpful staff definitely worth a visit x

I loved the steak. The atmosphere and service was great.

Exquisite old school french fine dining.

The Lavender Martini is the best beverage Ive ever tried. But, to be honest thats just because Im a lover of Lavender :)

Authentic French restaurant down to the pretentious server. Had two servers at lunchtime; one was friendly and helpful, the other was snobby and indifferent. He didnt approach the table for 10 min after we had sat down, didnt even ask us the obligatory how are you doing, just said you ordered 4 fondue. Lunch continued with this style of pretentious / annoyed service.Food was good. Had the fondue, but had to order salads to accompany it because despite being described as a full meal for two it only comes with cheese, lots of bread, one tiny salad that has to be split for 2 people, and potatoes. It was tasty, but not a very balanced meal unless all you eat is cheese and starch.Would not recommend nor come here again due to unfriendly service.

Excellent service. Nice cosy place. Good wine list.

Not recommending this place- Food is plain- Service is pretentious (its totally fine for a waiter to interrupt your conversation and start asking you questions or talk about something he thinks necessary) - FYI, good service is when waiters are unseen!- Its pricey - Ive paid over $30 for fish and potato bowl - pretty tasteless- Fondu for 2 costs over $70 - and theres no price in the menu (only one kind of fondu)

The French Table is a bistro - not a restaurant - and is lots more relaxed than what you might expect. The staff and owner (Herve) are lovely and genial. The menu is restricted as expected for a bistro style eating establishment. Good selection of bubbly, wines and cocktails too - they have a series of martinis which my companions said were quite good. The food is simple but not plain, hearty, well-presented and tasty. The pork loin medallions I had (on special) were melt in your mouth and had this lovely dijon mustardy sauce over it. Overall, i recommend the restaurant for a smart/casual evening out. One lovely detail - the butter comes out soft not hard like in so many places. Good bread too.

Food was delicious and great service.

I like the atmosphere and the old school vibe. However I do find it pricy for what they serve. I have their special 3 week aged strip loin and they charged me $45! The steak was not impressive and only came with a side of sautéed veggies. I would go back but not for a while.

Although the ambiance is nice and cozy. I found the food under whelming. I would not return.

Very European place, great service, very friendly atmosphere and of course fantastic food

Could not imagine a more apt venue for a special date with my wife & bff. Service is impeccable, food phenomenal, and Herve is the perfect host - genial and observant of all that goes on in his little oasis of culinary pleasure.
