LOVE Chez Céline! Everything about my experience here was perfect — I had been dying to come since they had first opened! The restaurant is incredibly charming and our server was so sweet.

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!

Tried the Dine Out menu at Chez Céline—solid execution and definitely worth it. Everything was well-balanced and high quality.

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.

Chez Céline – Dine Out Vancouver Review
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.

A great addition to the local dining scene! We were excited to try it since it’s the sister restaurant to one of our favourite restaurant St. Lawrence, and it lived up to our expectations.

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 had a great experience. We booked during dine out which was a little tricky. One of us did dine out and the other didn’t. I emailed and asked my list of questions about that beforehand, and got a reply. However, when we went to order, the waitress was dancing around the money issue of how much it would cost, and kept focusing k how it’s too much food for one person to jusg down our. We agreed one person would get done out and the other wouldn’t each would pay $65 and the one not eating dine out would order the same $ value. All agreed, but in the end the bill was quite a different story. The food was fantastic and timing of dishes was great. We loved the atmosphere. The only thing was we wish it was very clear if one person was ordering dine out they would have to pay the full price for two people. We don’t have an issue paying, it was just not clear at all.
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.

A mixed bag review, real highs and real lows.

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.

Chez Celine
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.

Recently dined here to celebrate my wife’s birthday early on a Friday night. It was dine out so the place filled out quickly but we went with the regular menu as I had been before. We had some special requests for seating and everything was accommodated wonderfully. Service was attentive throughout and there was clear knowledge about the menu and drinks, even allowing us to sample a bit of wine before we made our choice. Non-alcoholic options were available, a small selection but all different and tasty especially the Oiseau Oiseau. The food was excellent overall with some real must haves: we started with the seasonal flatbread topped with lemon ricotta and roast raddicchio which was a nice light start. The flatbread’s themselves are the star here, light, airy, and crispy really unlike any other I’ve had (I’ve had the escargot in the past and that’s still my favorite). We then had a series of starters: beef tartare with anchovies, charred radishes with tonnato sauce, and the special croquette with trout. The tartare had nice acidity with the anchovy addition but could’ve used a bit more richness and fat. The radishes were cooked well but probably needed more of the tonnato sauce ratio wise as it was a strong flavor. The croquette was crispy and had a nice chive sauce to pair with. Next we had the mushroom, truffle cavatelli which was rich and aromatic and full of flavor. I love the pasta choice here as all the crevices are filled with the delicious sauce. Lastly, the pork chop, one of the best in the city hands-down and worth coming back for alone. It’s served with the bone but precut beautifully showcasing the marbling from end to end. It’s paired with this incredible maple-apple cider sauce with just the right amount of sweet and acid (mustard?) to cut through all the richness. The combination of sweet, savory, acid, with the rich pork was perfection. The biggest surprise of the night was the dessert, a citrus olive oil cake. A recent addition to the menu, it had what looked to be candied citrus peel in a blood orange glaze with a little bit of toasted sugar on top. The cake itself was so moist and full of citrusy flavor throughout and on the side was a dollop of crème fraiche and blood orange syrup on top. Having a little bit of that crème fraiche and sweet syrup with a bite of the full flavored moist cake was incredible. Easily the best olive oil cake I’ve ever had, and dare I say one of the best desserts ever it was that memorable. Thanks to the staff for a wonderful experience.

Came for the Dine Out and it was delicious. Upgraded to the Hanger steak for extra +$20 and it was pretty tender. The frites were crispy and freshly cooked. The cavatelli was teeny bit overcooked for my preference, but still very good with mild flavours.

Chez Céline’s Dine Out menu was good overall – solid but not especially memorable. The courses were well-executed and nicely presented, with balanced flavours across the meal. Nothing stood out as a wow moment, but everything was competently done and enjoyable. A reliable choice if you’re looking for a pleasant Dine Out experience.
