Fodor's Review:
The French country cooking shines at this informal Chinatown bistro and the historic room -- once a schoolhouse for the Chinese community -- evokes a timeless brasserie, from the white linens and patina-rich fir floors to the chalkboards above the slate bar listing the day's oyster and mussel options. Sean Brennan, one of the city's better-known chefs, works with local farmers and fishers to source the best seasonal, local, and organic ingredients. The menu changes daily but lists such classic bistro fare as duck confit, steak frites, and trout with chorizo and almonds. The wine list is primarily French and if you order two glasses they'll open any bottle in the house. Reserve well ahead as this tiny spot is often fully booked with locals.

What a treat

We happened to be there on the chef's birthday so it was very festive. I will definitely go back again when I am in Victoria in September!
