French Table

It’s a lovely place and we came in really hoping for a great experience as we love French cuisine. Unfortunately the service was disappointing and that tainted the experience as appetizers were enjoyable and cocktails were great. Then I made a mistake of asking for a a different wine by the glass to match my halibut main. I had a Viogner prior to that. The waiter looked annoyed. Asked if I wanted a better wine, a sweeter wine or a red. I’ve asked for a bartender to recommend a white by the glass to match with halibut. The attitude was surprising, but also hilarious, as this was such a simple ask. The service went downhill from there. The deconstructed halibut Wellington was also sadly disappointing. The flaky crust was stale and pale, the garnish was over salted kale, the halibut itself sinewy would be closest description.

Very memorable visit. Beautiful Parisian café style decor and lots of care taken on the food. I went for brunch and had the eggs benedict with smoked salmon. Classic done right. Chef came out to check on us and let us know that the owner actually grows all of their produce himself! He chatted with us for awhile and then brought us some freshly made chicken liver mousse on the house. Can't recommend these guys enough, fantastic hospitality and I look forward to trying the dinner menu!

Great French bistro fare. The mussels were meaty and fresh, the duck terrine was on point, although I would have loved a bit more colour to it. We shared a fondue for the table that was delightful as well. A great treat in a quiet spot.

Had a wonderful meal at the French Table, service was good anda house family wine was top notch. Casual elegance.

We came here for the first time and we were impressed. I felt like I was dining at a Parisian restaurant with delicious traditional French dishes. Everyone was impressed with the food. For starters, we had French onion soup & seared scallops. A couple of us ordered the frites and mussels and the rest had steak and calf liver. The meal ended with to die for desserts - pear almond tart, chocolate profiterole and crème brulee. They offer a great selection of wine, menu items, and fondues. The must order dishes are onion soup, frites and mussels, and chocolate profiteroles! We dined on a week night and found they only offered two sittings that night. A tip: make reservations and save room for dessert! They offer brunch, lunch, and dinner hours. If you want affordable and delish authentic French food, French Table is the place.

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 had brunch here. We ordered the Benedict eggs, ham for me and smoked salmon for my friend. The hollandaise sauce was great and the eggs perfectly cooked. I took one star off because we found that the sauteed potatoes were too greasy and would have appreciated a more generous plate. We will probably come back to try the dinner menu.

We came in on Sunday Feb 13 with the anticipation of the Valentine's Day set menu. Long story short, there was a miscommunication between Herve and I and we couldn't get the Valentine's Day set menu as it was only offered for Monday Feb 14th only. A bit disappointed for us at first because we had our hopes up and had cancelled a previous reservation to be at the French Table. Let me share with you how thoughtful, kind, and considerate Herve was to us; above and beyond. Because the Feb 14 menu was not ready, Herve offered us some of the items that were ready. He did not have to do that but I truly appreciate and recognize the effort he made to try to compromise. In the end, the Feb 14 items and regular menu did not catch our appetites but luckily for us, the French Table were offering specials that night. For appetizers, we had the French Onion soup and the scallops for starters. Hearty broth and gooey cheese with each bite. As for drinks, we had a glass of house red and white wine. For the mains, we had the Pan-seared skirt steak with paprika butter sauce and the Beef Wellington. Oh my goodness, it was the best; cooked to perfection and melted in our mouths. My partner shared a piece of her Beef Wellington with me and later regretted giving me too big of a piece. For dessert, we had the Tart Tartin and the Creme Caramel. Nice, light, and not too sweet to finish off. It was a blessing in disguise. We had a fantastic Valentine's day dinner and couldn't be happier; until Herve topped it off even more that night. Due to the miscommunication of the Feb 14th menu, Herve came by to our table to express his sincerity and apologies of the situation and personally handed us his homemade Blackcurrant jam from his farm in Aldergrove. How sweet is this guy? We left the French Table that night with our bellies and hearts full. The one thing I request of Herve is to share when his team will make the Beef Wellington and Skirt steak specials again because we are definitely coming back! Herve, you are an awesome, knowledgeable, kind, and considerate owner. Thank you so much!
