About Le Gavroche
Opened in 1978, Le Gavroche is one of Vancouver’s longest-standing fine-dining establishments, offering award-winning French cuisine in a relaxed, intimate atmosphere. For decades, the setting of Le Gavroche has charmed Vancouverites and travelers alike and has garnered international attention as one of Vancouver’s most romantic dinner settings. The gently refurbished Victorian house (circa 1910’s) features views of the Coastal Mountains and Coal Harbour from the upstairs terrace and a cozy fireplace for those cold winter evenings.
