A Classic Bistro  

 After two weeks of renovating, we are pleased to announce our Grand Re-Opening. Awaken your taste buds with our delectable dishes or sit by our cozy fireplace with a glass of vin from our large selection of wine. Let our gorgeous chandelier create you a romantic moment. Come visit us at the heart of Kitsilano!

 French Bistro food is classic - A simple formula of impeccable ingredients and simple yet meticulous preparation. Classics do have to move with the times however as Canadian beef’s superior flavour deserves lighter sauces and guests now expect to taste the fish, not the butter sauce. The Smoking Dog, like any true bistro, offers good value and has kept prices at a level where neighbourhood guests drop in a few times a week, not once or twice a year.

 Our large patio, heated in winter, offers up an extraordinary corner view of people-watching opportunities, especially on sunny afternoons and evenings. Locals walk but it’s well worth the drive across one of the bridges.
