The Lowdown · AI digest
How we read reviews →A 16-year Flinders Lane basement institution built on bold French-Vietnamese sharing plates.
An industrial-chic basement space, intimate and moody with deliberately dim lighting; energetic and noisy on busy dinner sittings, calmer at lunch.
A separate vegan/vegetarian menu (available on request though not published online), dedicated sommeliers curating wine pairings, private-event and Feed Me/tasting-menu formats, and a Peking duck option for group bookings.
A deliberate French-Vietnamese fusion rather than a single heritage cuisine, led by a chef with pedigree from other respected Melbourne Asian-fusion kitchens.
Fans call it worth the premium for quality and produce, but there's a recurring complaint thread about small portions for the price (a $54 market fish serving one, menu prices excluding GST, a weekend surcharge).
