The reviews about this place do not lie. The food, the wine, the restaurant are all worth the last reservation available for an evening after work. I was tempted to try this place after reading about the lines before they open for dinner and the lack of reservations available all the time. I think I called twice: once for a weekday reservation and once for a weekend reservation, the first time they were fully booked and the second time they only had one early reservation left, so I took it.
We had a french cabernet wine and I was almost drunk before we started eating because the hot waiter kept refilling our glasses. He suggested the tarte flambee alascienne, which is a flat bread topped with sweet onions, pancetta, goat cheese, and a drizzle of sauce – it was very flavourful and a great start to the meal. For mains we had the duck confit and the apricot lamb cheeks. They were both amazing. We finished are meal with the creme brulee, which was a little late because the restaurant was extremely busy. It was still delicious aside from being a little over burnt. The best part is, this restaurant offers affordable french food – just thinking of our meal makes me want to go back for more.

Hello Lucy,
This entry was a pleasant read. I’ve been longing to try Les Faux Bourgeois for the longest time since I’ve heard so many good things about it. I hope my way there soon and I’ll keep your words about reservations in mind for sure! Thank you for the informative post :)
