self on the occasion of his
restaurant’s 2] st anniversary
with: A case of Beaujolais
Nouveau? A weekend on the
French Riviera?

Mais non, mon ami.

Goodfellas LI.

Well, not the restaurant,
but the second -storey
Esplanade locale and its opu-
lent Roman-style dining
room and expansive outdoor
Patio.

Along with brother
Philippe and chef Joseph
Lassaya, Segur will bring
North Vancouver a slice of
Gallic dining with what is
notionally being called Bistro
“Dhez Michel.

Expect an opening in mid-
March.

Expect also a seafood-
focused menu and a wide
variety of reasonably priced
tapas-style dishes.

Lassaga is currently devel-
oping the bistro’s menu,
which will aim at dinner
entrees in the $15 to $20
bracket.

Readers paying attention
will know that Lassaga has
numerous connections to
Segur’s new venture. One of
the Goodfellas crowd, he is
currently the executive chef
for its original downtown
location and was same for the
North Vancouver branch.

He will apply himself full-
time to the Bistro Chez
Michel post as of March 1.

Lassaga was also head chef
at Chez Michel from 1979 to
1989.

The Goodfellas move rais-
es many questions for Segur.
Most pressing of which is:

DINING ——

Chez Michel to open in NV

How will he make a go of
the Esplanade location where
two previous experienced
restaurant Operators have
tailed?

Well, for starters, Sewur is
a second-scorey nian all the
way.

After ovo decades, Chez
Michel continues to thrive in
its upstairs West Vancouver
location.

And his focus in the new
jocation will be on three key
areas:

@ price — which was previ-
ously too rich for many;

B service —- delivery of
which was uneven at both
Goodfellas and Vivace!;

B food quality — which has
likewise been inconsistent.

Segur has always wanted 4
patio. His West Vancouver
location offers no such
option now or in the future.
The old Goodfellas venue
offers one of the best patios
in the cv. Second-storey and
ali.

But fear not, Chez Michel
fans. Your man Segur will
remain at the helm of his
West Vancouver restaurant.
Brother Philippe will take the
reins of Bistro Chez Michel
along with Lassaga.

No word yet on who will
take over the reins of the
Ambleside Bistro locale.
