“I'm honestly surprised I haven't reviewed this place before. In my humble opinion, this is the best French restaurant in the whole city. The staff are impeccably kind and attentive, the food selection is great, and the drinks are to die for. The staff treats you like family, and it really makes for an inviting time. The space is also very warm and comforting, which I truly appreciate.Definitely a place you should go for a nice date with someone, or to just have a good dinner and a warm and welcoming space.“
“Charcuterie board done right. Order a glass (of their curated wine selection? or their eccentric cocktail creations? take a pick!), order some dishes, and lean back and enjoy the ambiance either in their intimate bar or outdoor patio. Lovely experience.“
“the tea selection is great, and the food is super tasty. we had the chocolate crepe, and it was divine. I believe they use a dark chocolate, making the crepe not sickeningly sweet. perfect. I took mine to go, but the atmosphere is super cute and good for quaint tea with friends or quiet time alone.“
“Great French food if you have the money! Sorry, the only pictures I took we the sorbet and the apricot tart!Vegetarian options: Available but not featuredDietary restrictions: GF, GFO, and V clearly labeled.Parking: Lots of free parking!Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair access“
“Oyster mushrooms with Bun Bo Hue was very tasty. My family also enjoyed brown spring rolls and golden rolls. My son ordered a mildly spicy soup-like dish with beef, pork and lemongrass in it. He thought it had many large pieces of onion in it, otherwise he would have liked it more. Atmosphere and decor was nice. Service was fast.“
“Can Can gets 4.4 or 4.5 stars and that’s about right. Some of their food may very well be the best you’ve had in a month or more and worth the price. There’s also a chance some item might come out that isn’t right or to your liking, and you might want to ask for something else.There are other upscale French restaurants nearby open with even higher reviews, but feel free to give Can Can a try. Unlike the others, Can Can is easier to get into and isn’t just open for dinner.The French cafe atmosphere and decor with white tiles and authentic cold solid aluminum bar surface (a reclaimed antique I think?) is pretty cool. It’s conveniently? located in Carytown, though you sometimes have to look for parking.The place is noisy and hard to hear when busy, due to the antique Richmond tin ceiling tiles and high airy ceiling.The lunch menu is fairly different than the dinner menu. We prefer the latter. In the afternoon between lunch and dinner they say they’re open but the menu is more limited.We’ve never liked their grilled/seared fish over the years. It can be overcooked, lacking in flavor, or sometimes fishy. We avoid it.Their frites / fries are delicious and huge servings. Be aware they don’t have A1 steak sauce or anything similar.The bread they serve is great. Our dinner didn’t come with bread and butter last time. Also great are their baked goods (croissants etc.) and Lavazza coffee drinks sold at the bar. (Try the cold brewed, it’s smooth like chocolate milk.) If you get there after 3pm or 4pm they might sell you the day’s pastries at deep discounts.The desserts aren’t cheap ($10-$14) but they’re good. Check out the ice cream. Today’s flavors included brandy date, which suggests the ice cream may be artisan and/or specially made in house or local.The steak tartare appetizer was quite good and again a HUGE serving for the price. It wasn’t ground or flat cutlets but large cube chunks. It tasted like rare beef (roast beef, steak or burger) with light caper flavor.I didn’t care for the small raw clams which were tender and priced at just $6 for 6 but tasted like ocean water. Maybe that’s just me.Something was wrong with the iced tea they served us. It was bitter and muddy in color — you couldn’t see through it at all. Surprising that would happen in an upscale place, but we sent it back and got something else. Not a huge deal.“
“Having been a server for almost 10 years, it is very difficult for me to be blown away by service I recieve while dining. Susan absolutely put it down! Not only was she completely on point with timing of everything- drink almost done? She's there asking if you're ready for another. Just finished your last bite of bread? Here she comes with more for the table- but she is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the menu, helping guide you through the flavors present and explaining not only what features in a dish, but how it will taste and feel. I CANNOT say enough about how professional and amazing she was. Then, not only was the service top-notch, but every single bite of every dish absolutely DELIEVERED! We ordered the venison carpaccio, and Susan was able to describe all the sauces and flavors on the dish, so we were able to try the venison with each, knowing it would tweak the overall flavor in different ways. It came highly recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. I got the waygu stuffed quail for my entree and my husband got the sea scallops catch of the day, and the portions were amazing for both- giant scallops, a half a quail that perfectly filled me up, along with amazing waygu cheek stuffed in the quail. Not only were the proteins perfectly cooked and flavored, but even the sides to each dish complemented the proteins beautifully and were DELICIOUS. Not a single thing could I or would I want to change. 100% worth every penny spent for an amazing date night, and we will absolutely book another reservation to return!Parking: Go early to ensure you can find parking, or catch an Uber or Lyft“
