How we read reviews →Fitzroy's unpretentious French bistro. escargot, bavette frites and crème brûlée since day one.
Warm, cosy and wood-panelled with genuine French charm; lively without being loud, and consistently described as unpretentious rather than fussy.
Rotating regional theme nights (Taste of Brittany, Dinner in Lyon, Cassoulet evening) announced via newsletter, a cooking masterclass, an upstairs private function room, and French-speaking staff happy to let guests practise their French.
Strong. French-speaking staff and French regulars vouch for it as genuinely authentic, with classic regional dishes like cassoulet and escargot done properly.
Reasonably priced for French bistro cooking in Melbourne. reviewers repeatedly call it affordable given the quality and classic technique on show.
