Le crocodile on smithe by burrard.
Trying to find a flaw with my visit...the hostess looked a bit intimidating?
Anyway, we were given complimentary shrimp and lobster pastries, quiche like? They were great, soft throughout and crisp on the outside. My girlfriend ordered the escargot with garlic butter, which was recommended by our server, as well as the bone marrow which I had ordered. Both were rich and juicy.
Our mains were the duck with fried foie gras, The duck was tender and cooked medium rare. The liver was succulent and melted on your tongue. I had the double cut veal chop, rich and tender on the bone served with a reduction...which I cant remember. They serve a plate of fries and shoe string fries to compliment the dishes.
You are then given a complimentary pear sorbet to cleanse your palette. For dessert we had the grand mariner souffle, and a pastry ( forget the name) stuffed with ice cream and the server pours hot Belgian chocolate on top in front of you.
Great food, great service, great knowledgeable staff that knows the menu,
a bit pricey, appetizers from 10-25, mains from 27-40, and desserts are all 10.95
Price for 2 was around 145 without tip.
