Le Crocodile by Rob Feenie

Le Crocodile has been part of Vancouver for so long it almost feels like it’s woven into the city’s routine—old‑school French, steady hands in the kitchen, and a history that includes chefs like Rob Feenie coming through before he became a name on his own. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t chase trends because it doesn’t need to; it just keeps doing what it’s always done. For our annual Christmas present to each other—just the two of us—we booked a night downtown and had dinner there. I really like Sablefish so if its on the menu..., rich and smooth, exactly what you want on a cold December night, and Sandy had the Chicken Paillard, simple, clean, and solid. No big production, just a good meal in a place that’s been part of Vancouver’s story for decades.
