About US
Darrell and Leslie Hannibal purchased Kitsilano’s renowned The Smoking Dog Bistro in 2010. Since then, the pair has made some exciting, progressive changes––transforming the traditional, more formal French Bistro into what is today a neighbourhood French bistro. Their enthusiastic approach to the venture is reflected in the friendly, relaxed atmosphere––balanced with the impeccable service, fantastic cuisine and extensive wine list that the Smoking Dog’s reputation has always been known for. The focal point is the lighter, more accessible French fare that is presented in a first-class manner, yet with more moderate pricing typical of a neighbourhood restaurant/bar.
