AI Summary

Smith St cocktail bar run by two French hosts: inventive drinks and bistro snacks.

Intimate, softly lit and fresh-flowered, with relaxed music and a calm pocket away from the busy Smith St strip. Warm, host-led and chic without being stuffy.

Owner-bartenders who explain each drink, a rotating cocktail list, a considered wine list, house-made snacks, daily-changing nibbles and a set menu; dogs welcome.

French-owned and run; French visitors say the food and hosting feel like home, with a French-Australian drinks and snack identity.

Reviewers see strong value: cocktails roughly $16-20, wines $15-16 and a three-course set menu described as good value.
