But the Eiffel is French.
Neveu all the way.

Here you might start with
Escargots Provencal (roasied
snails in garlic and w hite wine
butter) or Gratinee a
L’oignon (French onion soup

= topped with emmentai
cheese) and a glass of Aligote.

Proceed trom there with
Cog au Vin (chicken poached
in_red wine sauce and pro-
Sciutto), Steak au Poivre or
Camembert Degas (wheel of
Camembert cheese garnished
with shrimps and served with
tarragon cream sauce).

And finish, perhaps, with a
Vanilla Creme Brulee.

doesn’t include its predeces-

The dextrous Laurent,
who worked both kitchen
and dining room with equal
finesse in the Savoury’s wan-
ing davs, does the same at the
Eiffel.

Philippe, meanwhile, sticks
to the dining room, detiver-
ing crisp French service and
astute menu advice.

There's a quiet, unhurried
efficiency to the Eiffel’s oper-
ation that is at once relaxing
and reassuring.

The restaurant’s menu is

PRAWNS in lobster sauce prepared at the Eiffel Cafe in Nerth Vancouver District's

far from complex.

It’s also reasonably priced.
Soups, Salads and other Pour
Commencer range from. $7
to $14; main courses will cost
you anywhere from $16 to
$20.

The autumn/winter 2000
installment includes the addi-
tion of Pizzaladiere — a
French-style pizza made with
a thick sourdough crust and
topped with a spicy tomato
salsa, basil pesto and moz-
zarella cheese.

Also new: Saumon

Miramar, a salmon fillet
stuffed with rosemary,
sauteed in garlic butter and
flambéed tableside with
Grand Marnier.

Heid over by popular
demand, as it has been since
1972, is Jakarta Rack of
Larab — the Savoury’s world
jamous whole lamb rack fin-
ished in a peanut and almond
crust. It now goes for
$29.95. Well outside the
Eiffel’s regular menu price
range, but if you've never
sampled the Jakarta, it’s
worth the investment.

Nighzily specials are listed
on a tableside chalk board.

On the Friday aight Table
Hopping visited, it included a
large smoked salmon appetiz-
er that featured cold smoked
salmon served over chopped
lettuce and topped with
sesame seeds, parmesan
cheese and capers. Also on
the plate: marinated artichoke
hearts, cream cheese and a
fresh tomato salsa. Gaod
combinations all.

Main courses came with
stewed red cabbage and pota-
to croquettes — a potato,

y, butter and bread cruinb

ir. Also aboard the plate:
butter and herbed fettuccine
and sauteed mushrooms.

The beef tenderloin was
prepared in a robust red wine
reduction.

The Adantic saimon,
meanwhile, came with herbed
butter and the aforemen-
tioned accompaniment.

Both dishes were capably
prepared and presented in the
best tradition of Neveu cui-
sine.
