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:))

After having an amazing dinner at MBistro, we decided that we wanted to stop at Can Can for after dinner drinks and dessert. When we walked in, the hostess just stared at us and didn't say anything. I had to ask if we could sit for desserts and she rolled her eyes at us, and took us to a table.... More

Went to Can Can on a sunday morning in March. Was my 1st time there for brunch. It was reasonably priced and very good. The bread you start with is so tasty that i ordered some to take home. Feels like nyc in this richmond establishment. The service was great and so was the food and atmosphere.

All the elements of classic French cuisine-velvety pâté, superb bread and butter, coq au vin with veggies, raspberry soufflé like a cloud. Service attentive plus. For a graduation weekend, even more impressive. We continue in our good experience here, thank you!

You walk into Can Can Brasserie and you feel as if you are in a cafe in Paris. Great decor. But even more important the food is terrific. Wonderful bread that is baked at the cafe. Dishes are well prepared and delicious--just hard to decide what to order. Great lunch specials and good soup/salad and sandwich combos for lunch.

Friends told us of this restaurant in the Cary Town section of Richmond and we tried it out. The food was very good. The beet salad excellent and a perfect portion. I had the hangar steak that was excellent as well. Can Can had a very good selection of wines - mostly French. It was not too crowded when we... More

A wonderful, fun place with a great menu, great food, great service and cool atmosphere. We went here for an early dinner on a Monday evening. Despite being a Monday, this restaurant was fairly well attended with families and business crowds alike. Before the meal they gave us a bread basket with some very nice bread that they appear to...

Pricey, long wait and too crowded. The staff weren't any help either! it gives off a very snooty french vibe though, and sometimes that's just what people want....just not me
