Bistro Pastis has been voted Best Bistro at the Vancouver Magazine Awards (2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005), as well as winning Best New Restaurant by Vancouver Magazine & North West Palate Magazine - 2001).
The menu features classic bistro fare (coq au vin or steak frites for instance) served with a contemporary touch and one of the finest by-the-glass wine lists in Vancouver. Add streams of natural light through the cafe windows to the warmth of a crackling fireplace in an intimate room presided over by a genuine French Maitre d' and you have all the ingredients for a memorable meal. Said the Vancouver Magazine judges "John Blakeley is one of the most intuitive restaurateurs in the city ... he is Left Bank but right brain -- this is smart, cozy cooking at decent prices."
