Le Café Français

Very good!!!I'm usually very exigent when it comes to restaurants, there's always something that could be better (or so I think) however I wouldn't change a single thing in this meal. We had onion soup and then I had the salmon crepe and my husband had the crepe of the day which was a snapper crepe with cream sauce. Everything was perfectly seasoned and the portions are good. Every crepe comes with a simple greens salad with a red wine vinaigrette and with homemade fries, they serve you the fries with a homemade mayo that is very good too. The service is great, the place is run by the chef/owner and the server is his son. They both are friendly and talkative. We will definitely will be be coming back many times.

Wonderful lunch. Family owned, great experience. Highly recommended. Get the French onion soup.Family run. The 2 Brother's working the front of house go out of their way to make sure that you feel at home. The food is fantastic and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

What a breath of fresh air this place turned out to be. Got to practice a bit of my french with the helpful and pleasant waiters. All the other guests in the place were raving about their food and conversing with the waiters. Escargot au gratin was everything I'd hope it would be with a warm baguette to soak up the garlic butter. Divine.I ordered seafood crepes and again, it was everything I could ask for.The entire group I was with were genuinely pleased with the ambiance, staff, and incredible flavours of food.

Really delicious and tastes!! Prices is reasonable and the place are clean and nice. You need make a reservation.

Food here is second to none! Grace music and comfortable atmosphere. Friendly staff and special menu with authentic matching style of France food and wine. Wine is regarded as a cooking ingredient at here. Be worth of going and enjoying!

I was only in Nanaimo overnight. After exploring the downtown area and spotting Le Cafe Francais during the afternoon, I took a chance and walked in without a reservation. I' m very happy they were able to accommodate me. The food surpassed my expectations in every way. I enjoyed the St. Jacques Basilio - scallops, & shrimp in a garlicky tomato sauce, with a toasted baguette on the side. The side veggies of pea pods and broccoli were perfectly prepared. More than the delicious food, I loved the atmosphere here. It felt like I was in a cafe in a little town in France. Almost everyone eating there seemed like regulars. Papa is in the kitchen, with two sons out front - the synergy was impressive to watch. I would suggest that if you are in a hurry, this is probably not the place for you, but if you have time to indulge, you will love it.

The food is out of this world. They specialize in crepes of all kinds, savoury to sweet.You can be fully immersed into a French experience if you wish, as the family who runs the place are all fluent in French.I would say the prices are high, but the ingredients are fresh and of high quality, soo it's worth it!Our favourite thing to do is have an order of escargot with an extra baguette as an appetizer, then get whatever the crepe of the day is. It's always amazing! (We've never had room for dessert!) Bon Appetite!

I shared a dinner with family last summer, after trying to get to this restaurant for a few years! Pleasant and effiicent waitstaff, lovely atmosphere, busy but relatively peaceful. I was so disappointed with the crepes; I found the filling sloppy, with juices running over the entire plate. Good for soaking, I guess, but the crepes were already falling apart with moisture. I would give it another chance, however.

Nice ambience and great food. Ordered Escargot with cheese and lamb shank. Absolutely fabulous!

This is a family run, father chef, 2 sons as waiters, French restaurant near the Nanaimo harbor. Excellent food and service. You order, then they make. Partner ordered lamb crepe..deliciously parisian french plate. I had fresh snapper in a butter garlic broccoli sauce, with rice and veges...stunningly tasty. Order the house made bread right out of the oven. Even crepes for dessert. This is a great little restaurant.
