Part of a review of dine out Vancouver 2006.

Then we were off to Herve Martin’s venerable the Hermitage. Herve, who was the first executive chef at the newly-opened Pan Pacific hotel in 1986, is the respected veteran chef and owner of this charming and elegant restaurant on Robson st. Herve has had the Hermitage for the past 18 years and through his culinary prowess and business acumen has attracted dinning customers from all parts of the world to sample his authentic French cuisine and fine French wines.

We began our preview menu with executive chef Gilles Deroff’s $35 eating odyssey with a delightful ficherman’s soup and tasty ham terrine, followed by yummy tastes of the tree dine out choices – The honey glazed duck confit, stuffed red snapper and buffalo short ribs. Crème caramel or poached pears were the dessert choice. Amazing! Probably the best value of all of the dine out Vancouver venue. A must see and taste for the best French restaurant in Vancouver.

Wether it’s dine out Vancouver or not, the Hermitage restaurant will always provide it’s clients with the best food quality, best service and ambiance you can ever wish for.

It is Vancouver best French dinning that brins you right back, if you have been there, to France. If you have not been to France yet, going to the Hermitage will certainly be the closest thing you can experience in Vancouver and it’s surroundings.

Make it a romantic night at the Hermitage.
