Restaurant
Le Crocodile
October 9, 2009
A chef’s chef, modest Alsatian Michel Jacob consistently draws fans (and not just from Vancouver) to his sunny, yellow-walled room. Food displays the consistency that marks a great restaurant, seen in not just the signature onion tart and tomato-and-gin soup but also those glorious prawns with pasta, and sweetbreads with foie gras. Think modern French freshness with a thoroughly Gallic use of cream—and that applies to the service too. Regulars sign up for the annual choucroute fest. As in France, plats du jour are always a good bet.
