Difficult to eat with more than a group of 4 people here, but the excellent flavours are great. I had soup and salad -- both excellent and inventive , and my friends had the taquitos which were a good portion for the money. Get here before 5 pm if you don't want to stand to wait for a table!

I've come to the dessert cafe part dozens of times and it's the best French dessert place in town with the best ambiance. It's packed every evening, even in winter, despite its slightly isolated location.

Restaurant: I tried Trafalgars during the DineOut Vancouver promotion in Jan 2006 and had a delicious meal. I chose it because while all the other well known French restaurants in town (le crocodile, etc.) had a bland prix fixe menu during the promotion, Trafalgars had a more inventive and interesting menu. Our server was stellar, displaying a great deal of knowledge about the food. The food was quite satisfactory, I had no complaints.
The restaurant ambience I would rate more 3.5 stars -- it's not exactly trendy; it verges a little bit on 'neighbourhood restaurant." It's also a bit drafty if you sit opposite the front door (in the winter anyway)

I ate here twice with my French boyfriend, once in October 2005 and again in Feb 2006. The boeuf bourguignon, french onion soup and kidneys were outstanding and as good as you'll get in Paris. The atmosphere was boisterous, like a bistro should be. I also cooked a few recipes from the chef's cookbook and highly recommend it as well.
