Vancouver's best-kept restaurant secrets

Happy Bastille Day 2012

For more than 200 years the French have been celebrating the storming of the Bastille as a national holiday. Vancouver’s very own authentic corner of France, Bistro Pastis in Kitsilano, has become celebration central for its annual Fête de la Bastille – a tradition that goes back since the restaurant first opened its doors. Join us for a special “revolutionary” prix fixe menu for one night only – Saturday, July 14th.
