Dinner was excellent! The smoked fish dip was tasty and well proportioned. Hubby had the coq au vin and it was presented beautifully with silky potatoes. The squash tart was so delicious, with great textures, colours and flavours. It’s always a little scary to pick a restaurant from a brief description but Tableau was a nice surprise! It’s a relaxed French restaurant with excellent food - book a table and enjoy!

We were here for our anniversary and we were treated so special. From the moment we were treated at the door till we left, we were tended to like VIP. We were also offered sparkling wine on rye house, which was definitely appreciated. We are planing on going back here for New Year’s Eve. The staff was very friendly.

I discovered this restaurant through Yelp and was blown away! I've traveled to BC from Los Angeles and this was one of the best meals I've had all year. Not only was the food incredible but the service was exceptional. The prices are on the higher end but it's SO worth it. Highly recommend the escargot and the duck. I will definitely be coming back here when I travel back to the city!

Having been to PAUL takeaways at airports and train stations in France and a Paul sit down restaurant I was pleasantly surprised to see the PAUL experience not only replicated in Vancouver, but uplifted. The food was great, the hot chocolate was the traditional Parisian hot chocolate. Awesome. And of course, even though we had a lot to eat… On the way out, we had to grab a few pastries for the road.
