It offers modern French cakes and pastries made with local ingredients and West Coast flavour, but with traditional French techniques. I did find most of them sounding better in the descriptions, but it is still one of the better patisseries in the city.

It supports local suppliers and seasonal ingredients, and it’s a very West Coast version of Canadian cuisine. The food is fresh and good quality and it offers sophisticated versions of the basics that are still very approachable.

It’s an upscale restaurant serving Pacific Northwest and West Coast cuisine, but on occasion I felt a disconnect in the theme of the restaurant and the approach to the menu. I was on the Boneta board for the most part, but there were some hit and miss dishes.
