French Made Baking Review
We first encountered French Made Baking at the Vancouver Baker’s Market late last year. Initially selling their creations at markets and through their website, French couple David & Catherine opened an official bakery on Kingsway near Main Street at the beginning of this year.

Faubourg Macarons Now Available! [Review]
We stopped by one of our favourite French bakeries in Vancouver last week – Faubourg in Kerrisdale – for some coffee and Viennoiserie.

Located in the heart of Kerrisdale is the delightful Faubourg Boulangerie. The front section of Faubourg is its bakery/coffee shop, while at the back you’ll find its lovely bistro.

Les Faux Bourgeois Review
After we enjoyed afternoon tea at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, we managed to secure an early reservation for dinner at Les Faux Bourgeois in Mount Pleasant. Les Faux Bourgeois is a highly-hyped casual French restaurant located East 15th Avenue, near the non-foodie intersection of Kingsway & Fraser Street. We were seated at the bar and presented [...]
