I strongly surmise that LFB is popular due to their prices (think Guu). Rated strictly on the food itself it is just good enough overall, no more, no less (again, think Guu). The service is decidedly 'French' - as to whether they are hamming up to the authentic French bistro experience or it is simply typical Vancouver arrogance depends on who you ask.

Mistral was great; excellent menu. I have a fondness for Le Parisien but they have purged some favourites off their menu.

Chez Meme Baguette Bistro 7/10
Baguette Willy (scrambled eggs, ham over sliced baguette) with fried potatoes. Also had a wedge of my friend's bourguignon baguette sandwich.

Heavy breakfast items, good portions eggs nicely done. Baguette fresh but lacked the flakey crust. Potatoes tender and seasoned, not throwaway. Good alternative.
