Next time you are in Vancouver, Canada run don't walk to La Crocodile by Chef and owner Michel Jacob. Unequivocally one of the top five meals in our life. We were told by the hotel Bellman that this was the best French restaurant in North America and we have nothing but praise and agreement with him. The food was spectacular and perfectly prepared. The menu is extensive including all of your favorite French classics prepared exquisitely perfectly and better than 99% of the world. We had lobster bisque, frog legs, fillet of sole, and Lobster all of it was simply marvelous. The service was exceptional by Michael promptly and professionally. Chef Michel welcomed us and took a few minutes out of his busy schedule and dinner service to speak with us he is a great French gentleman and Chef and I highly recommend you dine at his restaurant. The wine list represented the entire world there were some good choices I would say that for many wines I thought the prices were too high but again you will not be disappointed in the quality and the service. I just cannot say enough good about this restaurant it was the highlight of our trip so far and made up for a lot of disappointments that we've had in a couple of weeks past. We missed our flights and I'm so glad we did or we would have not had the opportunity to experience the best in French cuisine. I would add that this restaurant to me serves the classical Haute French cuisine of Yester year which will bring back many memories to many of us. I especially loved the frog legs. I get it they have somewhat of a "yuck" factor for many but so do snails and I can assure you when prepared properly they are a gourmet treat. Chef Michel's frog legs were tender and fell off the bone served in a great butter garlic sauce and were just plain succulent. I would return to Vancouver just to have another dinner again.
