This French-Vietnamese restaurant is now open at Vancouver House, at 1428 Granville Street. The eatery has also temporarily paused operations at its original Kitsilano outpost in order to complete renovations there. So, this means, the new restaurant will be the sole place to indulge in an array of Vietnamese noodle soups, French delicacies, and signature shareables such as spicy baguette sticks, escargot, and salad rolls, for now.
