Had an amazing brunch today with my family — everything was on point. The food was absolutely delicious, from start to finish. Service? Impeccable!! The staff was super attentive without being overbearing, and made the whole experience even better. Loved the friendly, welcoming vibe of the place. Definitely one of those spots you walk into and instantly feel at ease.

We couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate our wedding anniversary with my husband and my daughters. We were greeted with genuine smiles and a warm and attentive service by Chloe, Dayana and the rest of the team. From entrées to dessert, all the food was outstanding, every single dish was well seasoned, cooked to perfection and so tasty!!
Overall, we had an amazing experience. Congratulations on the quality of your foods and beverages, but most importantly: Outstanding service!!

We went here for our anniversary dinner. I had the duck and the rose cocktail. The duck melted in my mouth and the apricot complemented it PERFECTLY. Everything we ordered was delicious! We will be coming back.

I wish I could say 10 stars for the service! Honestly the people who run this restaurant are so nice! They came by multiple times to make sure we were doing good and just overall made us feel really welcome!
The food was so good as well and definitely elevated - the croissant was just fantastic! My wife had the eggs Benedict and it was so good!

I’ve been to this French restaurant several times now, and it continues to impress me every visit. The staff are genuinely warm and welcoming, making you feel comfortable the moment you walk in.
What I appreciate most is the no-pressure service—they’re attentive without hovering, happy to answer questions, and always respectful of your pace.
Service is consistently fast and efficient, yet never rushed. Everything flows smoothly, which speaks volumes about how well the place is run.
The food is the highlight. Each meal is beautifully prepared, thoughtfully plated, and full of authentic French flavors. You can tell care and pride go into every dish, from simple classics to more refined options.
Overall, Tableau is a place that strikes the perfect balance: excellent food, friendly and relaxed service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys quality French cuisine without pretension.

beef bourguignon is other worldly. French onion soup is great. Duck breast is good and mushroom toast taste exactly how it looks and will order again . The foie gras dish was too sweet. Will definitely come back again!

I love this little hidden spot in Coal Harbour - they welcome you through the doors with super attentive staff, big flavours and classic french dishes.
Would recommend for business lunch, girls night or date night.
The best offering of food items for happy hour, today we shared: the steak frites, nicoise salad with scallops, french onion soup.
They have the best dessert, so save room for their crepe cake, yes its exactly as it sounds: a cake made of little crepes - topped with creme anglaise and sour cherries.

I had the most wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food, ambiance, and people are all truly amazing. I came here for breakfast every day during my stay and it was always a highlight.
The French toast was absolutely delicious—perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The Croque Madame was another favorite, made with great quality ingredients and served beautifully. Everything was consistently fresh and tasty.
On top of the food, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are so kind and welcoming. The combination of excellent quality and very reasonable prices makes this place a true gem.
Highly recommend—I can’t wait to come back! Thank you

Updated review:
Since our first visit — when we enjoyed the Seafood Eiffel Tower as part of a larger group and were genuinely impressed by both the variety and execution — we’ve returned to Tableau several times, and it has become a favourite whenever we’re in Vancouver. The consistency across food, cocktails, and service has remained excellent, and the warm, cozy atmosphere continues to be a big part of its appeal.
On a recent visit as a party of two, we considered ordering the tower again but ultimately passed, as the oyster is not a favourite for us and easier to enjoy when shared among a larger table. Given how much we enjoyed it the first time, it would be wonderful to see a bit of flexibility — perhaps the option to substitute one item, or a slightly less seafood-heavy version.
That said, Tableau continues to deliver a polished, welcoming experience, and it remains a place we happily return to.
Original review:
Tableau Bar Bistro is one of Vancouver’s hidden gems, offering authentic French cuisine that’s otherwise hard to come by in this part of Canada. From escargots and frog legs to bone marrow, the menu features all the French staples executed with classic technique and a modern touch.
We started with the Seafood Eiffel Tower — an impressive sampler of key appetizers including mussels, bone marrow, beef tartare, shrimp, and other seafood. Every component was beautifully prepared and well-balanced. We also ordered the mushroom sandwich, which is a must-try: rich, deeply flavorful, and absolutely melts in your mouth.
For the mains, I had the steak au poivre. It was well-executed and cooked perfectly, though the flavor profile felt a little understated compared to the phenomenal appetizers that preceded it.
The restaurant more than redeemed itself with dessert. The crème brûlée was among the best I’ve ever had — silky custard with a perfectly caramelized top — and the profiterole was another standout.
Unfortunately, I don’t have photos, as this meal was
