LF: Upscale Casual / Fine Dining Downtown
 

Taking wifey downtown for New Years and staying at the Sheraton Wall Centre. Likely going to the Commodore and I'm looking for a great place to take her for dinner.

After doing some research, I found Le Crocodile Restaurant http://lecrocodilerestaurant.com/ which happens to be on the way.

Anyone have any experience at Le Crocodile? Any other good restaurants around the Wall Centre or Commodore I should check out?

TIA.

Le Crocodile is the best French restaurant in Vancouver in my opinion.

Not a shallow trendy new spot (Coast/Society/etc.) but made for people who love their food. Quite highly rated as well per Zagat; Food 27/30, Decor 23/30, Service 26/30.

^ Thanks for the link. Sounds like a nice spot to check out for sure.

There is a set menu for New Years and the Second Seating is $150 each. Thats a little too rich for my blood.

Anyone able to recommend something nearby if I'm unable to get in on the First Seating?

Check this place out.

Enjoy.

i think both market and le crocodile is going to be great. can't go wrong!

lots of choices downtown. There's a nice restaurant downstairs from the hotel on the corner of Burrard and Helmcken

Made reservations for Le Croc today. Thanks to those who replied.

How was your eating experience??

Le croc has great food. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

My favourite is the rack of lamb at le crocodile.

I haven't been there in many years, but I found Bacchus to be very nice and romantic, and the food and service was good too. We stayed at the hotel too, and it was a great experience, much more intimate than normal hotels.

haha, my old manager at a restaurant i used to work at is the manager of bacchus now. look out for a guy who is a walking stiff. his arms don't move when he walks.

i havent been to bacchus in about 2-3 years now but i remember it being super romantical with a great atmosphere and the food was equally delicious. mmm.....

yo why you want eat white food lol too expensive no good

^why would anyone want to eat abalone? why would anyone want to eat caviar?

fail.

Le Crocodile is excellent! Very classy and up-scale. Lol, when I went there, one of the waiters dropped a forked and the french boss-lady gave him the most intimidating look ever. Food was also great! Very romantic mood in there + chocolate crocs after dinner was pretty good too!

Food was great. Overall experience could've been better. They were quite busy so I'll give them a pass.

Excellent food though, highly recommend checking them out.
