The Best French Restaurants in Vancouver 2023

Gold: St. Lawrence

Michelin-starred St. Lawrence takes home gold for the third time in this category, serving up chef J.C. Poirier’s rustic yet refined ode to Quebecois cuisine. “St. Lawrence is simply irresistible,” raved one judge. “Highly inventive, full-flavoured and unapologetically decadent.” Dishes like venison loin mini-tourtière and beef tartare with marinated mushrooms, foie gras and buckwheat make this Railtown spot a destination for local and international diners alike.

Tableau Bar Bistro earns silver for its French classics infused with West Coast style—order the mushrooms on toast (Pemberton Meadows mushrooms with rich madeira jus on sourdough)—along with its serious wine and bar program (hello, legendary happy hour) and faithfully French experience.
