Excellent experience. We went to celebrate a promotion and I asked the staff if they could have a glass of bubbly for us on arrival, and they gave it to us on the house! I did not expect that and it was incredibly generous. The staff were attentive and very knowledgeable, we will definitely be going back!

This was an incredible find! Located on Blood Alley, it was a bit hard to find, but well worth the effort. The awesome selection of wine was only upstaged by the incredible meal. Chef Kovic’s creations coupled with Shauna’s subtle and informative service made for a perfect evening. If I had more time in Vancouver, I would spend every night having a meal here. I cannot recommend Is That French? enough

The wine recommendations were excellent and the portion sizes were perfect to have a lighter meal. Like a good french restaurant, they served fois gras and it did not disappoint. The flight of wines allowed you to taste few so you could suss out your favorites. Perfect for an intimate dinner out or a special occasion.
