A Bowl of Bistro Nostalgia
Few dishes chase away a rainy Vancouver afternoon or night like French onion soup. One inhale of sweet, slow-cooked onions and blistered cheese transports you to a Left-Bank brasserie—without leaving Mount Pleasant.
Two-Hour Caramelisation
Yellow onions cook low and slow for two hours until mahogany sweet. A splash of Cognac lifts the fond before a 24-hour marrow-bone stock joins the pot, layering savoury depth upon depth.
Gruyère Gratin & Baguette Rafts
Stoneware crocks are filled, topped with house baguette disks and a thick quilt of cave-aged Gruyère. Under the salamander, cheese bubbles, blisters, and drapes over the rim in molten threads begging for a spoon.
Perfect Cold-Weather Pairings
Try a Côtes-du-Rhône to echo caramel tones, or go hyper-local with a refreshing lager. Either way, the chill outside fades fast.
