I definitely recommend this restaurant for a great French experience. Little venue with just a few tables, perfect for a date. Ambiance is great and service was really nice. Cheaper pricing comparing to other French restaurant, while you get a great quality. Their membership offer is the best I’ve ever found so far.

Food was delicious, especially loved the beef tartare. Restaurant was quiet with French music playing softly in the background, the waiters were all so clearly French, good vibes and delicious food.

For our second visit here we went to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary and it was a perfect night. As members (just $5 p/y) we had the $65, 3 course meal, plus drinks. I had the onion tarte with salmon and creme fraise (amazing), then the boeuf bourguignon and creme brulee for dessert. The service is lovely, the food is 5 stars always, and I love coming back.

I had meal delivered for 10 people for Easter , offered to members. Absolutely beautiful feast, sumptuous, and more Than sufficient. We had 5 adults and 5 kids - ranging in age from 11 to 17. The quantity and quality could not be surpassed. We were all very impressed with the the number of courses , entre 2 types of mains and desert. I would highly recommend this home delivery.,

The food here was absolutely excellent—every dish was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully prepared. The service was a little slow but still friendly and accommodating, which made for an overall pleasant experience. I really enjoyed the nicely polished and modern atmosphere, which gave the place a refined feel. It was surprisingly quiet during my visit, which made it perfect for a relaxed and peaceful meal.

A fantastic dining experience at Bistro de Paris in North Melbourne. The cheese soufflé was perfectly fluffy, and the bouillabaisse was rich in flavor with just the right balance of spices. My husband loved the grilled tiger prawns, cooked to perfection, and the braised beef cheeks were melt-in-your-mouth tender. I also tried the refreshing lychee spirit, which was delightful. The ambiance and service were top-notch. Highly recommend!

This is a cosy little restaurant on Errol Street with warm lighting and comfortable decor. The food is great. We started with the onion tarte and prawns — both were excellent. For mains, we had the gnocchi and the duck. The gnocchi was tasty but a bit on the salty side, though still very enjoyable. The duck, according to my partner, was just as good, though part of it was a little chewy. Minor issues, but they didn’t take away from the overall experience. We paired the meals with their tasty Valerant chardonnay. For dessert, we had the crème brûlée and the bombe alaska. The bombe alaska really stood out, and the brûlée was solid — simple and done well. We’ve been here plenty of times before, so we were a bit let down to see they’ve switched to paper napkins and now charge for the sourdough (though to be fair, it’s still excellent and well worth the cost). Service felt a bit off on this visit, but it was a busy night. Well recommended.

As a group of 4 we had a wonderful Saturday night dinner here. The staff were very friendly and accomodating. The venue itself is perfect for intimate dining. The French food was perfectly timed, very well presented and delicious. We will be back. Highly recommend.
