How we read reviews →Cosy Hawthorn East bistro known for escargot, duck and Belgian mussels with frites.
A cosy blend of casual and fancy, with the menu printed in French and English notes; warm, name-checked service from staff like Fred and Bruno, though tables can feel cramped and noisy on busy nights.
Menu in French with English explanations, a private room for celebrations, an extensive European beer and wine list, and long-serving staff regulars know by name.
Traditional French-Belgian dishes like escargot, moules-frites and French onion soup, praised by French-speaking reviewers for tasting authentic.
Splits opinion: most feel the escargot, mussels and duck justify the cost, but some call it deceptively expensive next to other French restaurants, citing $19.50 for six snails.
