More infoLes Faux Bourgeois is the warm, packed corner bistro near Fraser and Kingsway that Vancouver quietly keeps to itself. FauxBo to regulars, it does French classics with real conviction and no ceremony: duck confit, escargot, and steak frites at prices that don't make you do math mid-bite. The reservation is famously tough, so plan ahead. Order the steak frites, thank yourself, and please don't tell everyone.
The reservation is famously tough, so plan ahead, then settle into the packed little corner bistro and split a bottle to start. Order the steak frites (it's the move) and maybe escargot or duck confit, all at prices that won't make you wince, and budget around an hour and three-quarters because two hours vanish here fast. When you spill back out near Fraser and Kingsway, the night's still young enough for one more.
