The French Brasserie

CBD laneway brasserie serving beautifully classic French dishes, from duck confit to cassoulet.

Elegant, softly lit laneway brasserie with a high ceiling that keeps noise down, warm host-led hospitality, and an authentically French, romantic feel without being stuffy.

A live roving band on Bastille Day, a cheaper pre-theatre set menu (two courses plus wine, 5-7pm), and an owner who personally recommends dishes and wine pairings table-side.

Very high, multiple French-speaking reviewers, including visiting French groups, describe it as authentically French, on par with dining in France itself.

Priced at the higher end, around $150pp for a full dinner per one reviewer, matched by most reviewers to genuinely high-quality, generously portioned French cooking, though a minority found service delays poor value on off nights.
