db Bistro Moderne, Vancouver
Little Sister to db Bistro Moderne, New York
Right next door to Lumière, sharing a wine cellar and the co-proprietorship and world-class management of Daniel Boulud’s Dinex Group, sits db Bistro Moderne.
Our db Bistro Moderne is a younger, west coast interpretation of Daniel Boulud’s famous db Bistro Moderne in New York, but promises the same urban vibe, dynamic atmosphere, and modern French bistro cuisine as her east coast namesake.
db Bistro Moderne is a contemporary Canadian bistro where traditional French cuisine meets the fresh-picked, just-caught flavours of British Columbia. At db Bistro, Daniel Boulud and Executive Chef Stephane Istel offer a seasonal menu highlighting the quality of fine ingredients served in a convivial and casual setting.
Interior settings adapt the db Bistro Moderne New York experience – a contemporary spin on classic French bistro dining - to its new Vancouver setting, a city that marries sophistication with a relaxed, West Coast outdoors lifestyle.
At the rear of the space is a 20-seat private dining room. The room is contiguous to the main dining area, but can be glassed and/or curtained off for private events.
Chef de Cuisine Stephane Istel, a Daniel Boulud protégé from New York, reigns supreme in his Vancouver kitchen. Stephane’s Alsatian-inspired menus showcase Pacific Northwest ingredients, classic French techniques, and New York haute cuisine.
The result is a truly contemporary French Bistro experience, unrivaled in the city. Typical French Bistro affairs like Jazz Nights and Wine Dinners transport guests to another place and time and overwhelm the senses with all that is fun and delicious.
Classical French dishes like Alsatian Pate en Croute, Coq au Vin, Charcuterie, Cassoulet de Toulouse, and Tarte Fine Provencal, are offered alongside an ever-changing menu of contemporary local dishes like Quadra Island Mussels served Espagnole, Seared Arctic Char, and Dungeness Crab Cakes. And of course, the famous ‘New York db Burger’ is a perennial favourite at db Bistro Moderne Vancouver.
