Even on a dreary winter day, this sunny-yellow bistro is a bright spot in Vancouver's culinary landscape. Chef-owner Jean-Yves Benoît mans the stoves, while his wife (and co-owner) Minna welcomes guests, offers wine, and ensures that the dining room is running smoothly. Their menu emphasizes Provençal classics, including an onion-and-anchovy tart, pistou (vegetable) pasta, and seafood bourride (a garlicky stew brimming with fresh fish, prawns, and scallops). The lunch menu includes soups and salads along with more substantial fare—the better to keep the rain at bay.
