Each dish was absolutely delicious! The second we tried the amouage bouche we knew we were in for a treat. The escargot flatbread is a must, my only slight critique was that it felt a bit more oily than necessary. The T-bone steak was cooked very well and the sauce to go with it was phenomenal. The fries were perfect in my opinion and the endive salad was a great and balanced addition. The soft-serve ice cream with lemon olive oil was the most perfect and refreshing way to end the meal — its a must try!
Would highly, highly recommend! I cannot wait to come back and try the infamous pork chop as well as their brunch!
Sourdough Flatbread: Incredibly crispy outside, soft inside. It stayed light and soft even after soaking up the garlic butter.
Pappardelle & Short Ribs (+$5): The handmade pasta was perfectly al dente and held the red wine sauce well. The short rib was super tender.
Pork chop: It was cooked perfectly. Adding $2 for the Piquante spicy sauce is a must—the tangy kick balanced the richness beautifully.
Profiterole: Very authentic. I loved the combo of warm chocolate sauce and ice-cold vanilla ice cream.
No gimmicks, just great technique. Such a satisfying experience.
We tried Chez Céline’s Dine Out Vancouver menu.
Service:
Service was great—friendly and attentive throughout the meal.
Appetizers:
• Escargot (2.7/5): Too oily, and the bread overpowered the escargot itself.
• Short Rib Pasta (3/5): Decent, but nothing particularly memorable.
Mains:
• Poutine (2/5): Nothing special; fairly underwhelming.
• Pork Chop (4.9/5): Would come back just for this. Absolutely legendary—the best pork chop we’ve ever had.
Dessert:
• Ice Cream Cream Puff (4/5): Solid ice cream flavor and a nice way to end the meal.
Atmosphere:
The restaurant was very loud, and the seating wasn’t particularly comfortable.
Update:
We spoke with management regarding a pricing issue per person. They mentioned that this appeared to be an issue on Dine Out Vancouver’s side, as they haven’t changed the menu description on their end.
The food was excellent overall. We started with the escargots in garlic butter. The flavour was rich and delicious, but the bread was quite difficult to cut. I personally prefer not to eat with my hands, so it would be great if the bread were a bit softer or easier to cut with a fork and knife.
The real standouts were the poutine and the pork chop with maple cider sauce. Ordering these together is a must. The savoury gravy, cheese curds, and fries paired with the pork chop made for the perfect bite. The sweet and savoury combination worked so well.
Service was fantastic. They checked in on us, kept our water topped up, and the drinks were well made.
The only downside was the noise level. It got quite loud at times, and the music volume seemed to fluctuate throughout the night. There was a moment where we felt like we had to raise our voices to talk. That said, the cozy bistro ambiance is lovely, and aside from the volume, it was a great dining experience overall!
We kept getting focused back to how it was too much food. We appreciate the ability to do either or; but we hope the messaging is clear and agreed on! Everyone’s lovely and we were able to sort it out.
The good… the food is WONDERFUL . I had the tartar and it was fresh, flavorful and beautiful to look at. The steak was perfectly cooked,soft and juicy. Don’t get us all started on the chips as you can literally get addicted to the seasoning!
The bad…
We got there at 8pm for our reservation, the entrance is small and cramped with 4 people. There eventually were 9 people cramped and spilling into the restaurant, standing around waiting to be seated.
We waited 10min then were taken to the small bar where we waited an addition 15min.
Eventually seated and waited another 15min to place a starter order. You can imagine I wanted to eat my face off I’m so hungry by 8pm let alone 8:50 when the first course arrives.
The waiter was sweet but was very pushy about his favorites and then questioned my friend when he said his pork wasn’t his fav dish (just preference on how he like the fat cooked)
The thing that won’t have me going back…
Every time there is a birthday they crank up the music double volume, ring a cow bell and come out with a sparkler bottle and dessert.
While this is cute as a once off ( a little cheesy but cute) the terrible part is that in the 2 hours we were there we had this birthday interruption 8 times!!!!! The space is small and intimate as it is, the acoustic already high and now you add that in.
Some people won’t mind at all but for our table it was very frustrating.
A sister restaurant to St. Lawrence downtown, I’ve been wanting to try Chez Celine — the more casual, low-key bistro on Fraser St. It exceeded expectations. Even better, they don’t rush you out, which feels rare in Vancouver.
Escargots Flatbread ($21)
Served with a garlic pesto that leaned heavily pesto-forward. Smaller than expected, but rich and filling. Good for sharing — the topping makes it heavier than it looks.
Pappardelle with Braised Short Ribs ($36)
Properly al dente pasta with a generous amount of tender beef. Straightforward, well executed, and satisfying.
T-bone ($95)
I know this place is known for the pork chop, but we’re more of a steak group. T-bone isn’t my preferred cut, but this one had a solid char and was tender and nicely pink inside. The peppery sauce brought it together. Pricey, but in line with what you’d expect.
Charred Cabbage with Oka Cheese Sauce ($19)
The sleeper hit. Poached until soft and topped with a fruity, nutty Oka cheese sauce. The creamy, salty notes worked surprisingly well with the cabbage — memorable and worth ordering.
Profiterole ($15)
Generous and visually appealing, but the pastry-to-ice-cream ratio felt off. The soft serve itself was standard.
Orange Olive Oil Cake ($15)
The better dessert. Moist without being overly sweet, finished with an orange glaze and served with crème fraîche and blood orange syrup for balance.
