If you've ever been to Paris, you'll feel like you just returned when you walk in the door of the Brasserie Du Vin, located in Chinatown. It is a classic Paris brasserie with a long wooden bar, mix and match tables and chairs, various rooms, great wine list and a wonderful outdoor patio. Best of all, it is also classic in another way - the food and wine. Try the Steamed Salt Spring Mussels topped with Crispy Pommes Frites for a real treat, or any of the Cheese or Dried Meat Plates (their Bresaola is wonderful), sip on a glass of wine, close your eyes and you'll believe you're back in France. It's also a great place to meet local residents who flock there after work to chill out, catch up on the latest news, enjoy some libations and even a plate or two of some of those delicious Pommes Frites. Open Mon. to Wed from 11:30 am to 11 pm.; Thurs. to Sat. from 11:30 am to midnight; Sun. from 11:30 am to 4 pm.
