Au Petit Chavignol is located in the the Strathcona district on the corner of Hastings and Hawks street. This is a great little wine & cheese bar that is perfect for a get-together with a small group of friends for brunch, lunch, dinner or simply a glass of wine. The décor is minimalistic with a classic overtone accented with an extraordinary pink chandelier featured wall at the back of the restaurant. The ambiance is intimate and sophisticated.
In addition to offering a variety of cheese and charcuterie plates on their menu, they also feature delicious fondue and raclette, croque monsieur & madame sandwiches and last but not least, Vancouver's best "mac and cheese". Just to let you in on a little secret, the "Red Truck & Mac N Cheese" deal is available every Sunday through Thursday. You can order a glass of Red Truck Pale Lager and their famous four cheese Mac n Cheese for only $12 - it's a steal!
I visited Au Petit Chavignol for Sunday Brunch and ordered:
- Classic Four Cheese Mac N Cheese $ 9 - featuring Gruyere, white cheddar, orange cheddar and stilton - it is rich and creamy with a crunchy top broiled to perfection. This is a Must-Try.
- Poutine $10 - featuring hand cut fries with peppercorn gravy and cheese curds. I was a little disappointed with the poutine. The fries and gravy weren't hot enough to melt the cheese curds so the poutine was cold and soggy.
After your meal, step by next door at Les Amis du Fromage where you can purchase some cheese to bring home. This is Vancouver's premier cheese shop offering hundreds of cheeses including local, French, English, Italian, Spanish, Swiss and other specialities from around the world.
