Menu looked fantastic and I can't stop thinking about it, so I made a reservation. Since my favourite French restaurant closed last year, I've been on the lookout for a new favourite, this could be it. A glass of sparkling on arrival and a friendly smile, enough to make a great first impression before our amuse bouche arrived, Escargot with Garlic & Parsley Butter. Definitely a great start! We didn't have to wait long before the first course arrived, Sydney Rock Oysters with Sauce Mignonette. Vinegar with mince eschallots made great accompaniment to the freshly shucked oysters. Black Truffle & Mushroom Veloute with Crumbed Quail Egg is creamy and earthy with perfectly cooked crumbed quail egg added necessary texture to the dish. Pan Fried Pancetta Rolled Scallop with Foie Gras, Fennel Remoulade, Lemon & Lime Vinaigrette was excellent. This was my favourite dish of the night. It was sublime. Everything on the plate complemented each other and the foie gras added complexity to the dish. Kimchi, Tofu, Ham Hock Terrine with Apple, Ssamjang Chutney, Sesame Leaf & Nashi Pear Walnut Salad was fresh and a great follow up after a heavy meal, a palate cleanser before our next heavy meal. But the highlight and my husband's favourite dish of the night was Grilled Eye Fillet of Beef with Basil Pistou & Jus. Perfectly seared sous vide beef so tender it felt like butter when you cut through it. It left an impression on my husband so big he seriously contemplating on buying a sous vide machine to try and recreate it. Just when we thought they can't go any better than this, desserts came. I had the Passionfruit and Plum Creme Brulée with its perfectly cracked caramelised sugar topping added extra crunch. I can't really taste the plum though, but found generous amount of Passionfruit inside the Brulée. My husband chose the Apple Tarte Tatin, Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream & Salted Crumbed and I can tell you he kept telling how happy he was that he chose it for his dessert. The proof is in the pudding, or in this case the Tarte Tatin as he scraped clean his plate within minutes of consuming it. Great timing on the delivery for each course. The matching wines I had with my meals were greatly matched. All that combined with intimate ambience and friendly staff definitely completed a pleasant dining experience.

The pumpkin puree and pomegranate are a excellent compliment to the Barramundi, im really impressed   My fiancé loved her duck dish also. Everyone else had no complaints with there dishes WE didn't try any desserts The Set menu is $60 for 3 courses, the zomato menu is outdated. But from this you will only save $4 or $5, In general I found the prices a little expensive Service was attentive and friendly though food took a little longer to come out than expected Despite the price it's a place I would come back to try something else. Worth trying!

We rolled in here on a voucher but were prepared to pay extra on pre dinner drinks and coffee as our three course meal was discounted. We were able choose off the menu and the specials without any limit too. There was a feeling that this voucher was an advertisement for what they could offer rather than half serves. However, that being said, the portions are the usual French serves but you still don't go home hungry. The service was excellent from the bar to the table. There is a bar for pre dinner drinks and cocktails. I liked "The Last Word" cocktail. Complimentary bread and butter to start after we chose our entree and main. Snails did not come in the shell so there was no extra implements needed, and they were very nice. The French onion soup suited my dining buddy too. Our mains of Duck a l'orange and steak were excellent. The ratatouille was oddly salty and we probably shouldn't have ordered it anyway. Dessert was off the menu and on a trolly so we were spoilt for choice there too. Not a fan of the coffee but I did order a macchiato and that brings out a multitude of sins that cappuccinos hide. The little chocolates that came with the coffee were very nice. There were a few people eating there and it seemed that some are regular customers. The loos were in keeping with the decor too but are hidden behind mirrors so you might need guidance when you want to wash your hands. You are in a club so you will need to produce some identification (driver's licence) before you can go through to the restaurant. There is plenty of off street parking. It is recommended to use the multi storey cark park but we used the ground level parking as it was very well lit.

I had dinner there with my partner, parents and relatives from the UK on Australia Day. It was particularly quiet which made for a pleasant meal. A few things on the menu weren't available but there was still plenty to choose from. The menu is split between French Mauritian food and modern Australian. Everyone enjoyed their meals and ended up full, except my partner who ordered the seafood and veggies which didn't come with any rice or potatoes or chips. But that left room for an amazing chocolate mud cake with ice cream! The service is good and the staff cheerful.

The menu is the same and I don't have a problem with that as long as the quality is the same, but it's not. The food is not like it use to be. The duck I had was tasteless and the presentation very poor, the chicken liver pate and the slightly burned toast was just bland.. The staff was one lady that wanted to help and an old man that couldn't be bothered the deco needs a lift and the whole place needs just a makeup and a freshen up. I love this place so put in some effort I'll be giving you another chance soon.

Nearly all of us had Escargot a la bourguignonne and that was a very nice entree. One had Soupe à l'oignon française and it was just a little too different. "Traditional french soup transformed into french onion gravy." It was thick, tasted OK but we think the traditional onion soup might have been a better option. The steak and duck were enjoyed. The prawn stew (Crevettes Ragoût Marseille de style) was also good. The dessert, all but one had was crepes but there was only one per serve. The creme brûlée was good. There was no bar. We bought our own wine and that attracted a corkage. There was no coffee machine but that probably worked out OK as we had our meal in under 2 hours so parking was free at Coles next door. The voucher was a good deal as for the price of a main meal we got entree and dessert as well.

The new location is much more intimate with an almost homey feel (but much fancier, unless your house is the Versailles palace). And he's got his old crew running the place so the service was seamless. The food was fantastic, even better than what I remembered. The only issue we had was that our booking was a tad short which meant we couldn't stay for coffee and madeleines, which was disappointing after 8 months wait. To be fair, we were told at the time of booking when we've got the table till, but I lost track of the time as I was busy licking my plates clean. Guillaume, if you are reading this, mark my words...I'll be back!!

The best part was the sparkling water being constantly being topped up at no extra charge! The restaurant looks as if it is an old house which has been beautifully renovated to suit the needs of the restaurant. The food was amazing coming out at a perfect pace and leaving you full by the end. To top it off you leave with a yummy strawberry jam and brioche to enjoy the morning after. Reasonably priced. Would go back for a dinner!
