Au Petit Chavignol


Au Petit Chavignol | Place/Restaurant (closed) | An eatery on East Hastings that closed in April, 2013. It was operated by the same folks who gave us Les Amis Du Fromage next door. While it lasted, it served fantastic burgers and killer fondues alongside Spanish hams and a good wine list. We miss it dearly.

Usage | “Damn, I really could go for one of those burgers at Au Petit Chavignol right about now!”
