   We’ve been going to Purlieu bistro again and again. The food is always very good. We were pleasantly surprised to see that few French classic dishes were on the menu: Escargot and Tarte Tatin . We had the salad first, beets, goat cheese and arugula, continued with lamb chops and coq au vin and ended our meal with warm tarte Tatin served with vanilla ice cream. The lamb was served with grilled broccolini, a medley of grains and a delicious caponata. The coq au vin came with spaetzles in a wine and mushrooms sauce. It was wonderful!

    I always love going to Purlieu. It's walking distance from our house and the food and service are always excellent. My only negative is that I wish there were more vegetables in the dishes, or the option to order a side of vegetables.

    Place is adorable, small and intimate. Food was good but not spectacular. Scallops were good but all 4 were over really over cooked. Duck was a lovely dish as well as the mussels! My husband had the cod and although it was cooked perfectly, the broth was extremely salty (soya sauce). Overall the experience was nice, servers friendly. Might try their other new restaurant to compare. 8/10 experience. Recommend to check it out and hopefully the little issues are resolved with the cooking on the plates mentioned

    Great little spot tucked away in a random suburb. Community crowd. Food: Excellent value. We had lamb, shrimp, tuna, duck -- all very well cooked, nothing overdone. Balanced proportions. "Modern" might be a stretch, unless what they meant was an Asian flare -- nothing we haven't seen before, but again, everything was well done. Service: Also excellent. For a small spot - maybe 30-40max - 2 servers were barely adequate during the busier parts of the evening, especially considering one of them was mixing cocktails (well done by the way!). Drinks: Cute selection of cocktails that we're thoughtfully made by our server. Affordable bottles of wine including half bottles/caraffes. I'd say the range was a little narrow (in terms of price - basically every bottle between 40-80 from what I recall). Perhaps that's what a community french bistro calls for, but some bigger bottles might serve the odd occasion.

    Our fourth time dining in and loved the experience. Music and drinks were great and food was amazing. When we talked about a certain drink they used to make, they went and checked on the ingredients to make it for us even though it wasn’t on the menu.

    I am so glad we finally tried Purlieu. Such a sweet little restaurant tucked in an Oakridge strip mall. Everything on the menu looked appetizing (and I never think that). Calamari, lobster spring rolls, steak frites, lamb and burgers were all delicious and made my family full and happy.

    Introduced another couple to this restaurant last night. Very impressed. Service was great as usual. Our appetizers were the beet and arugula salad and the calamari. Both were delightful. I had the special which was duck breast. Cooked perfectly and accompanied with nice vegetables. My husband enjoyed the Cornish hen. I will comment on the pasta dish as it was a little dry and the lamb came with a sauce which was a little overpowering. We all had a little of the chocolate pate for desert. Nice evening. Thankyou.
