The food is always great here. Last night was our first time to have dinner here. We usually are here at lunch. Highly recommend: Beet salad on their summer menu. Menu is seasonal, and it changes every couple of months. Great bread. There were several very good fish dishes including grouper and mahi mahi. Excellent friendly service by knowledgable employees.... More

Charming restaurant, with a really great vibe, and a very reasonable menu (both in terms of price and brevity). Service was excellent, but I thought the food could have been better. Those of us that got the hamburger were very pleased, and the frites, which were shared around the table, were certainly reminiscent of a French bistro. Seafood dishes like... More

This is my favorite place to eat in Richmond! Perfect for summer with floor to ceiling windows that open to the street. I really do feel like I am back in Paris when I come here. The food, service, and ambiance is excellent! My husband says nothing beats their fries and I'm obsessed with the steak! Not being from Virginia... More

Rather expensive, but the food was good. May require reservations on busy nights. It is a favorite for the graduation crowd.

As I've been told, this restaurant is like what it is in a French bistro, but I can't deal with it. It's loud, crowded and just not my style. The food was good, but nothing spectacular. I don't like being crowded so I wanted to get out of there asap. We were right by the walkway so servers were basically... More

Though I recently arrived in Richmond, I made the best discovery at CanCan. The dishes offer such fascinating options such as jalapenos and mussels, soft shell crab and salsa, rhubarb and salad...and the most amazing cocktails! I can't wait to go back to try more dishes. The staff are friendly and courteous, helping create a gentle buzz in the atmosphere... More

Fabulous food and delightful ambiance. We had the most wonderful mushroom soup that can be imagined. And, there was a good reason that we saw so many people leaving the restaurant with loaves of bread - it is the BEST!!! We had lunch specials that were very reasonably priced. What a wonderful restaurant!

I ate at the bar as there was a long wait due to Prom weekend and I didn't have reservations. You can get the full menu at the bar and the service was excellent and the bartender very knowledgable about the menu items. Large beer, wine selection. My food was very good although I think a bit pricey. Good location... More

This is the third time we've been to CanCan and it never disappoints. The flavors of each plate were distinct and delicious, exuding the care and commitment of the chef. Now if only they could train their staff to speak French, we really would be in Paris for a night:))
