キツラノで本格フレンチをカジュアル
Bistrot Bistro
文・写真 吉田 千草
フランスのコンフォート・フードを味わうなら４th Ave.のBistrot Bistroへ。アットホームな雰囲気でフランスの家庭料理を味わうことができる、とっておきの場所だ。イエローグリーンの壁紙にシンプルな印象のインテリアは、まさにパリの新しいスタイルのビストロをそのまま移したかのような空間。料理をシェアしてグループで色々楽しむのもＯＫ、型にはまらない気安さが人気の理由の一つだ。７割が常連客というのもうなずける。ワインでじっくり煮込んだBoeuf Bourguignonやケベック産のラビットを使用したRabbit in two mustardsなどは人気の定番料理。フランス出身のオーナーシェフLaurentさんお勧めは、玉ねぎの甘みとグリュイエールチーズが絶妙なアンサンブルのオニオンタルト。やわらかな仔羊の食感をアプリコットの優しい甘みと味わえる仔羊のすね肉煮込みにもファンが多い。フランスやＢＣ州産が中心のこだわりのワインとの相性も抜群だ。デザート付きの３コースのプリフィックスメニュー（26ドル）は月～木までのスペシャル。気取らない気さくな雰囲気が心地いいカジュアルフレンチ、気の置けない仲間と楽しく味わいたい。 |

It’s a delightful little piece of France in kits profess patrons of this West side bistro owned and run by a French Couple and specialising in honest, exemplary comfort food, the three course Sunday to Thursday menu is a value say fans, and an unpretentious staff and colourful setting with slate floors add to a scene that radiates laid back sophistication. |

Sweetspot.ca Restaurant Review |
The French are magnifique! Their food spectacular and their
wines divine. But sometimes, les monsieurs and mesdames are just
a tad proper. So when we opt not to dine so formally, we head to
brand new hot spot, Bistrot Bistro.

Iron Chef Rob Feenie; food stylist and journalist Nathan Fong;

The Best of 2007 for 2008 |
| This is one of three classic French bistros to open last
year. It's not truly classic in appearance - you don't see many
lime green walls in little bistros in France - but the food is
straight-ahead classic, served in ample portions as at La
Regalade. Food arrives in Le Creuset style pans - and even
buckets. Beef bourguignon, fisherman's stew, smoked duck tart
and the bottomless (eat all you want as long as you finish each
serving) chocolate mousse were my favourites. |

Bistrot Bistro: Top 10 New Restaurants of 2007 |
| French imports Valerie and Laurent Devin immediately won
over fickle Kitsilano diners when they opened their little
green-and-blue gem of a bistro in early March. The tiny kitchen
turns out exemplary French comfort food at worthwhile prices (a
veritable cauldron of wintry boeuf bourguignon goes for $17)
while service is very personable and every wine on the list is
available by the glass. |

Hefty Bistro Fare is Bon Enough to Share |
| The comment "I'm really full" is great to hear when
dessert's tucked away and an espresso is slowly seeping through
the cracks, but not so good when the server has only just
cleared away the starters, or premières assiettes, as they call
them at Bistrot Bistro. |
