How we read reviews →Brunswick East's buzzy French bistro with steak frites, cocktails and warm neighbourhood charm.
Warm, firelit bistro with white tablecloths and candlelight. reviewers call it both a casual neighbourhood hangout and a special-occasion date-night spot, buzzy at the bar and calmer in the dining room.
Open fireplace, private dining room and courtyard/patio available for bookings, complimentary bread and cultured butter service, house cocktail list built around originals like the Torreador.
Reviewers repeatedly praise the 'proper' and 'classic' French bistro execution. bread service, tarte tatin, cassoulet, steak frites. as feeling like an authentic transplant of the genre onto Lygon Street.
Mixed on set promotions. reviewers found the $70pp bottomless-steak night and $150 all-you-can-eat deal poor value for slow, small portions, but praise the $55 two-course and general à la carte menu as well-priced, with affordable wines by the glass.
