This was one of the best meals I’ve had in years. The food was inspired and the service added to the experience in all the right ways. I would repeat my entire meal over and and over again. Cannot wait to come back !

The restaurant is fairly intimate but the food is very tasty. All the dishes were excellent. The prices are a bit on the high side but that is probably due to the quality of the ingredients which are excellent. My only suggestion for them is to have a more approachable wine option as most of the wines are very pricey. Overall a good experience.

A charming place with a warm atmosphere that took me back to France. Unpretentious but sophisticated at the same time. Fantastic cocktails that are a cut above. Menu was just right in their offerings, many dishes I would have liked to order so I will have to return to sample others. This was our second time dining here and our experience was memorable once again. Our meals were rich with flavour and portions were ideal. Even the crème brûlée had a nice twist without loosing the traditional taste. A local gem.

I give it 5 start, but certainly does not deserve it, i just really wanted this place to be great and it sort of was, the service was beyond great, 2 out of 5 meals we ordered was not on the menu but they made it for my kids, the decor, vibe and drinks are just great. However actual main food quality and taste was not really there, over flavor under flavor wrong steak cut just all over the place. Also this place needs a pastry chef, store bought bread is not the way to go.

We had a wonderful early dinner recently at Mereon, arriving just before the end of happy hour. Shared Crevettes à la Parisienne, truffle fries and a couple of glasses of white wine off the HH menu. Also tried the French Onion Soup Gratinée. A very nice start to the meal. For mains we had the West Coast Risotto, House Smoked Sablefish and Beef Bourguignon. Could recommend any of these as they were all excellent, but the beef drew raves from my son. To finish, we sampled the dessert menu, having one each of the Lemon Crêpe, Crème Brûlée and Chocolate Fondant. All delicious. Overall, a very memorable meal!

Tucked in a cozy corner with a charming vibe and live music, this restaurant was a delightful find. We didn't expect a fully booked restaurant on a Sunday night in West Vancouver, so we were glad we made reservations in advance. Once we entered, we were immediately greeted at the door and shown to our table. I had the margarita which was tasty. For appetizers, we had French Onion Soup Gratinée, smoked olives, and Heirloom Tomato & Bocconcini Salad. All were excellent – a solid 10/10. For the main course, we had West Coast Risotto, Beef Bourguignon, Steak Au Poivre, and House Smoked Sablefish. While all the dishes were a bit on the salty side, our server mentioned that other tables had similar feedback that night, suggesting this might have been a one-off issue. Despite this, the portion sizes were generous, and our overall experience was fantastic. For dessert, we tried the passion fruit crème brûlée, which was perfectly balanced and not too sweet – just the way I like it. I highly recommend this place and will be back for more.

Came here for happy hour on a Sunday afternoon after coming across the restaurant on my IG feed. I had recently came back from a trip to France and was craving anything that would bring me back to feeling like I was there again. The restaurant is cute and cozy and had nice finishing touches to it. Definitely loved the atmosphere! We ordered the Charcuterie Platter, cauliflower bites, truffle fries, and the Crevettes à la Parisienne (my fave out of all 4), and all were well portioned and delicious. We also enjoyed their cocktails as well. Appreciated the nice little surprise from the owner in end with a complimentary cocktail on the house - such a nice gesture. Looking forward to coming back for a brunch or dinner time meal!

Had brunch at Mereon yesterday. Located on the north shore tucked away on a lovely little side street. I was greeted warmly when I arrived and given a choice of seating. The server immediately made sure I had water and my beverage of choice as I waited for my friend to arrive. The menu while not expansive does offer a variety of (predominantly) French cuisine choices. Once my friend arrived we were given time to scan the menu and make our choices. I ordered the Croque Monsieur and my friend ordered the prime rib burger. The food arrived in good time - not too fast but also not slowly. We both enjoyed our meals and found them satisfying and tasty. The only tiny complaint I might have is I think the presentation of the food could be turned up a notch. Following our main course we both shared the Lemon Crepe which did not disappoint. Overall we really enjoyed our meal. We were helped by a couple of servers and both were outstanding! Thank you we will be back.

Puzzled why so many 5 stars for this overrated, overpriced place lacking environment. No coffee, told only espresso, mint tea offered which dont care for. No other options were offered. The food was so awful I only ate the eggs. Sent part of order back but no notice was taken that the food wasnt eaten. Halfway through meal I stopped waiter, asked for tea menu but again, nothing I wanted. An acknowledgement or an apology would have been appreciated.

We came out from Maple Ridge to celebrate my son s 30th birthday at Mereon, as French food is a favourite of his. We were not disappointed! From the most charming atmosphere to delicious food and warm service, all 5 of us were impressed! The cocktails took awhile to come but were worth the wait! We all liked our meals so much we passed our forks around trying each other s meals I had the Canard a L orange-fabulous and unique! The pistachio crusted lamb with truffle mash bite was to die for! Desserts were fantastic too, lemon crepes were a fave! Such a beautiful, cozy little spot and absolutely worth the drive, we had a perfect evening! Can t wait to go back and try lunch or brunch!

Not sure where all of the positive reviews are coming from for this place. Food was mediocre at best. Cappuccino arrived at the end of my meal even when I reminded them about it. Bread used for the croque madame was grocery store quality. There was a hair in my fries. Service was slow and not very attentive and had an attitude like they didn t care. Ambiance was also lacking. Nothing special about this place. Would not recommend. You re better off going to OEB across the street.

The restaurant has a nice French theme, but the food fell short of expectations. I ordered the croque madame, but was disappointed to see it made with your regular supermarket white bread. On the bright side, the fries were quite good and crispy. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired, our server seemed indifferent and uninterested, which made the experience feel awkward. Id love to see better breakfast options in West Vancouver, but this place was mediocre at best. Overall, its an okay spot, but theres definitely room for improvement in both the food and service.

This was my second time visiting Mereon. Both visits were perfect in each way, from food to service. Sablefish was delicious, as was the lamb, and the Thanksgiving duck special. Service was strong both times as our servers were very attentive and personable. Was fairly quick as well. There was live music the first time we came and it didn t overpower the dinner/atmosphere of the restaurant and was a nice addition to our meal. We will be back (again). By the way, I noticed a few negative reviews which seem very out of place based on our experiences here. I would not let those sway someone s decision to dine here. Just my take! Parking: Angled street parking, although limited or normally full. You can park down the road on the cross street more easily, about 100 meters if need be.

An impromptu dinner at Mereon in Dundarave is now a happy, new memory. Well executed dishes with spot on seasoning comprised our meal (the seafood risotto was past al dente, the only hiccough).

Quite honestly the best brunch you can find on the North Shore. I feel like it s a hidden gem only due to its location tucked away off Marine Drive, but getting the word out is imperative, even if it will make it harder to snag a table! The food here is utterly divine. I enjoyed the Croque Madame on my first visit and opted to try out the burger (which the table next to us had ordered on our first visit!) today. Both were spectacular! Chef Damien highlighted some extra gems on the menu as well. I m confident that you can t go wrong no matter what you pick off the menu. The service and ambiance are also top tier! I have already brought friends here to show them how great Mereon is and will continue to do so! Get a table as soon as you can!

This was our first time at Mereon and we went to celebrate my wife s birthday. They made her feel special from the moment we arrived. The restaurant has a lovely ambiance, being both bright and cheery and the service was impeccable. Now to the very important part-the food-which was delicious. My wife had the French onion soup as a starter and she said it was one of the best she has ever had-loaded with onions and delicious cheese. I had the Brussels sprouts which were equally wonderful(my wife kept on stealing them). As our main course we had the Steak Poivre which was sensational. The tenderloin was perfectly done and the prosciutto wrapped asparagus and polenta fries so inventive and delicious. Big compliments to the chef, as well to the wonderful staff. Thank you for making my wife s birthday so memorable. Mereon is our new favourite restaurant.

I could talk about the lovely, nuanced flavours, made with care. Or the warm yet professional service. But you know what? What really stands out is how this wonderful little bistro makes me *feel*. When I am here, I remember parts of myself which have slipped away, pushed by work and family obligation and medical appointments and bill-paying and.. you know, all that. I remember Paris. And Montreal. And my love of the French language and bistro music. And the woman I have always intended to be. You can too. #Mereon

This is my seventh visit to Mereon since the restaurant opened its doors in West Vancouver, but my first evening dining experience, and a special occasion to celebrate a thirtieth wedding anniversary. Mereon did not disappoint and provided the same high level of cuisine and service that I experienced on previous visits. My wife and I shared the foie gras terrine which was delicious. It was accompanied by a delectable muscat infused gelee and pickled shredded enoki mushrooms with brioche slices. We enjoyed the foie gras terrine so much that we ordered a second serving. I had the bouef bourguignon which was delicious, full of flavour and served in the traditional manner. My wife ordered the steak au poivre, a favourite of hers, which she reported was tender and as good as any steak au poivre we have enjoyed in fine dining restaurants in France and Belgium. The meal concluded with a delicious chocolate fondant which was surprisingly light with just the right level of sweetness. A shoutout to Peter, a suprb host who made our dining experience most enjoyable, as well as the remainder of the Mereon team. Parking: plenty of street parking

I invited my friends for brunch at Moreno, and it was my first time there. I booked a week in advance and, because we were a group of 10, requested a corner booth the day before. When I arrived, I checked again to confirm the request, but they set our table in the middle of the restaurant. I asked for a change, and we had to wait to move to the corner booth. The atmosphere was great, though not ideal for a large group. The food was authentic with a French cuisine influence, and the service was excellent they even customized a special dish for two of us. Among the various dishes we ordered, I particularly loved the French Smoky Socca, and the passion fruit crème brûlée for dessert was exceptional. However, I liked the Eggs Cocotte less than the other dishes, as I felt the taste wasn t ideal for brunch. The portion sizes were European-style, which means they were smaller compared to American standards. Overall, I had a great experience and would love to return, but definitely with a smaller group.

This was our first visit to this lovely French restaurant that has only been serving dinner for 8 weeks. It has a small, tight menu, but the offerings are delicious. I had the seafood risotto, and it was to die for! My dessert was the chocolate fondant. It was excellent! My partner had the salad (topped with caviar), and we all tasted it (so good) followed by the beef bourguignon and then the lemon crepe and cappuccino for dessert. Our final dining companion enjoyed the smoked sablefish. She raved about it. We enjoyed margaritas to begin and a nice Chablis with dinner. It was an excellent dining experience that will see us returning. Parking: Hopefully, you will get lucky and find street parking. There arent other options unless you can walk.

Everyone was so happy and full when we left both times. We will definitely be back! Dietary restrictions: I have a cows milk intolerance and it was easily accommodated.

This is a small brunch restaurant. It wasnt hard to find because it was right behind the main road, but since it was the weekend, I had to wander around to find parking. The restaurant vibe wasnt bad and I couldnt find anything particularly bad about the food. Clean, light and not salty. Overall, compared to other brunch restaurants, the portion size per person seems to be smaller. However, after about an hour, there were tables on either side of us who had eaten before us and were just sitting, but they told us about the next guests with reservations and told us to leave only after seeing them. This is a shame.

We went for happy hour and planned to extend to dinner . The place was empty and quiet . The food was far below our expectation, no cheese or anything kn the charcuterie board and the bread was buns ! The cauliflower bites were straight from the freezer . The wine was very good . The service was super flat . Nothing French tasting at all

Was a big fan of Jules, so was happy to hear the owner partnered with someone to open this spot. My friend and I went for brunch which was excellent. Only downside was when we asked for another piece of bread so we could finish our chicken liver mousse, we were surprised by the (very high) additional charge on the bill. I guess it was my fault for not asking about cost, but I never thought a piece of bread would warrant a charge like that.

Food was better than expected with some pretty high expectations. Light but filling and fantastic French flavors. Service was amazing with the server giving us a new menu item to taste test on the house. The tall gentleman there is especially handsome. What a dreamboat 10/10

This is a great addition to the Ambleside restaurant scene. We went for brunch and had the quiche of the day (rockfish, olives and cheese) and the croque madam, with a pot of French press coffee. Everything was excellent and well-priced, with wonderful service. We re glad to hear they ll be opening for dinner in April.

I have visited Mereon four times to date. On each occasion the cuisine was superb and the service was excellent. Most recently, a business associate and I enjoyed an early breakfast. Both my colleague and I are foodies and over the years have enjoyed some superb cuisine in North America, Europe and Asia. I had the Os breakfast which was superb. The eggs were cooked to perfection and were accompanied by some rashers of bacon and a small chorizo sausage both of which were delicious and not greasy, as well as a mixed green salad. My associate ordered the Croque Madame which was perfectly cooked and had a superb taste. . On a previous visit I ordered the Duck Confit Cassoulet which was delicious. I have spent considerable time in Europe and lived in France for a few years. Mereon could stack up favorably against any French bistro I frequented in France. As a resident of West Vancouver I am delighted to have access to such superb cuisine on my doorstep. I look forward to sampling Mereons dinner menu when the restaurant opens for dinner at the end of April.

Went there with some friends and I was quite disappointed. I got a cocktail for $19 so I was expecting exactly what I ordered, but instead my drink was missing the rim that was specified in the description, our server never informed me. it said on the menu it was 2.25 oz of alcohol but the whole drink couldn t have been more than 2oz itself. The food was ok, the salad that came on the side was just dressed with oil, or at least that s what it tasted like. I m giving two stars because I liked the ambiance, service and the fries were good. The tip options were 20%, 22%, 25% and that s always a bit of a eye roll

Not bad, but very average. Came for brunch and the nicoise salad. Presentation was very basic and almost sloppy. The atmosphere isnt warm and inviting. After our food was dropped off, nobody checked in at all until after our meals were finished.

A wonderful brunch on a Sunday. The food, ambience and service was fantastic. We loved Jules in Gastown (now closed) and you can see the connection here (not just because of some same/familiar faces in the front of house team). We will be back.. to make the drive out from Richmond (!) and have a wonderful meal.

This is my fourth visit at Mereon, and I ve had great experiences all four times! Beautiful restaurant, food are delicious and vegetarian-friendly - I ve had a couple different soups, quiche, croque forestier and creme brûlée. Staff are also professional and attentive. Also appreciate that they accommodate families - I have brought my baby for all visits and bathrooms have changing tables. Vegetarian options: Croque forestier, and soup of the day and quiche are usually vegetarian Parking: There is free parking for customers at the back Kid-friendliness: I brought my stroller and the restaurant accommodated, they also have changing tables in the bathrooms. Unsure if they have high chairs

We have been twice now and will be back most definitely again. The atmosphere, food and service were great. I am thrilled West Vancouver has a place like this- the quality and excellence is beyond a small neighbourhood spot yet it maintains the coziness of one. I meant to take photos today and we ate it so quickly I forgot. Highly recommend the smoked salmon socca, chicken liver pate, the burger (OMG), and the nicoise.

My husband and I chose Mereon for a special occasion, and it exceeded our expectations in every way! The burrata salad was a delightful start fresh, refreshing, and visually stunning with its vibrant colors. For those with a penchant for exceptional chicken liver mousse, Mereon is a must-visit. The combination of the liver mousse, chutney, cornichons, and the in-house baked coffee bread toast transported us to the flavors of France truly out of this world. The Croque Monsieur delivered all the right flavors for a perfect brunch, and the Steak Frites were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We finished our brunch with passion fruit creme brulee and lemon crepe, both exquisite. And you dont want to miss out on their coffee; its a must-try. The ambiance was fantastic, and the staff were not only friendly but also provided quick and efficient service.

West Van finally has a restaurant with French inspired food that won t break the bank. It s a friendly place with attentive service and a small and exciting brunch menu. My hamburger and frites with an exquisite dipping sauce were like an inexpensive trip to a Paris cafe and my wife had eggs cocoette with salmon roe which was stunning to look at and even better to eat,The best coffee and an array of French snd BC wines and non alcoholic drinks. Some colourful art , maybe local, would make the place sing.

We enjoyed a delightful meal at Mèreon on Saturday, savoring dishes such as lobster bisque, Mèreon salad, croque monsieur, chicken liver mousse, and steak fries. Mèreon salad is my favorite! It s a delightful combination of beets,burrata,caramelized walnuts and tangy dressing! We ended the meal on a sweet note with a delightful Passion Fruit Crème Brulée and zesty Lemon Crêpe, perfectly paired with a great cup of coffee.
