Came to celebrate! Sat from 6:45 pm to after 8:30 without so much as a crust of bread. Appetizers finally arrived: steak tartare ok, bone marrow good, but "wonderbread" toast? Softshell crab tasteless. Long hiatus betw. courses (next table got drinks, soup, appetizers, & mains while we sat). Duck, Caribou, Veal & Muskox well prepared but veg. uninspired. Ate half our mains with empty wine glasses, sat w/ empty plates 1/2 hour+, then glasses finally filled. Sorbet served without its Poire William to one. Details! Desserts a bit uninspired. Cheese excellent, crackers not. Throughout the evening, server, hostess, & maitre d' failed to perceive our signals or notice our predicament (hunger, thirst).Told Maitre d' we were unhappy about glacial, inattentive service: he actually argued, claiming we could not mean “slow”; we simply did not understand the "pace" of a well-served meal (we do: our party included 2 chef/owners.) Despite some good food, quite a disappointment. Room very noisy.

Went here for my bf's bday. Was greeted by a very friendly and presentable hostess right when we entered the door. We were the 2nd table that night (6:30 on a Wednesday night). Our waiter was veryyyy nice and seriously had the nicest skin ever. I suppose he's french because of his accent.

We ordered 4 appetizers: the bone marrow, quail, lobster salad, and fois gras. ALL WERE SUPERB!! loveeee the bone marrow- wat a nice suggestion from our server. The quail had too much stuffing but was good still. Lobster salad was fresh and had alot of lobster- to our surprise. The fois gras was so juicy and tasted nicely with the sauce. We also ordered the rabbit as a main dish to share. The service was HUGE - to our surprise as well. It came with skinny fries and a side plate of veggies. The dish was good but also had too much stuffing and not enough meat. For dessert we had the proliferolles which was 4 puff pastries with vanilla icecream and the BEST chocolate syrup ever! Then we were given complimentary crocodile chocolates which was a nice touch for the end of the meal.

Along with a bottle of pellgrino and a beer, our bill came up to be $120. TOTALLY worth it for the food, presentation, and friendly/speedy service!!!! wayyyy better than places like chambar that charge you too much for your food.

Only complaint: TOO LOUD! they should give large parties private rooms because it ruins the evening for people who are there to celebrate romantically or for a quiet dinner.

My boyfriend and I have been travelling and eating our way through Europe for the past year and a half at some of the best French restaurants and we still looooooooooooove (and miss) Le Crocodile and have not found anything comparable to it yet. I've always order the duck breast and foie gras and for the dessert, my favourite, profiteroles that comes with the melted belgian chocolate inside the blue kettle (don't know if they still have that). The duck breast is tender and out of this world. The service is always impeccable and not pretentious; the sommelier is always charming and funny. The quality of the food is excellent and the price is definitely reasonable (I think even if they charged more, we will still go back there).

Definitely Le Crocodile is one of the restaurant we are most looking forward going to when we return to Vancouver.

This is my mother's favorite french restaurant. We have gone at least 5 times and everytime it is a delight! The service is delightful and the meal never comes without a complimentary appe or sorbet. Fresh flowers are definatly a signature attribute that adds to the golden glo of the interior. Definatly not the spot for a budget meal, but if your in the mood to go all out the frois grois is amazing!!
