Should you find yourself in need of some delicious respite while doing too much shopping/walking up and down Robson over the holiday season, slip into the always reliable Tableau Bar Bistro where a coronet of frites is a hot and crispy restorative must. $6 on their own or $22 with an 8oz sirloin, watercress salad, and red wine sauce. So good!
