Bistro Wagon Rouge is a blue collar French bistro located in East Vancouver's port district.With playlists compiled by our friends at Red Cat and Zulu , an ever changing 'classics' menu and plenty of features to select from, the vibe here is always fresh. Our menu isn't posted because we often like to switch things up, but you can expect to find greatest hits like cassoulet, terrine, pa^té, duck confit, pork belly, french onion soup and steak frites. We always have fish, veggies and plenty of meat on the menu. Gather around a table with friends for dinner, or pull up a stool for a glass of wine and a small bite at the bar. We do not accept reservations; it's first come, first servedmore...See more text
While technically sitting just outside of Hastings-Sunrise, the French bistro offshoot of all-day breakfast fave Red Wagon is an elegant drink spot for you and your pals. A large wine selection is on display just above the back bar, but considering the spot is just a few blocks away from both the Parallel 49 and Powell Street breweries, Bistro Wagon Rouge is a great spot to relax with a local brew.
Pushing any notion of snobbishness associated with French dining completely aside, the Wagon Rouge is anything but stuffy. Vinyl seats and 60s lamps abound. Servers in concert t-shirts and cut-offs expertly guide your food and wine choices. Local record stores curate the soundtrack and the fresh, changing menu is French-inspired with a Pacific twist. A fun, tasty night out in an intimate setting — this is a place that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Except when it comes to the food.
With only a few available each night, Wagon Rouge's signature sought-after burger sells out quickly. So stop by this Powell Street bistro — the slightly more upscale sister to The Red Wagon — and quickly order this perfectly composed meal. Beef, aged cheddar, caramelized onions and mayo lie in delicious harmony within the ideal-sized bun, meaning your last bite is as phenomenal as your first — no excess bun, no excess meat. A side of fries and a glass of French red and you’re in burger heaven.
