Smith St Bistrot

Parisian-glam French bistro in Collingwood, famed for souffles, tartare and duck breast.

Theatrical Parisian glamour across three intimate levels. burgundy banquettes, gothic chandeliers and antique mirrors, with an open kitchen visible from the bar.

Open kitchen with bar seating, a private upstairs function room, an extensive wine list, and a chef's degustation menu.

Reviews are split: some French-heritage diners say the cooking channels real French technique, while others feel it reads as a stylised nod to bistro classics rather than strict tradition.

Most diners feel the roughly $100-140pp price matches the experience, though a vocal minority found portions small and set menus underwhelming for the cost.
