It's more aimed at delivering French comfort food in a well executed manner. The service is really very good. Wine is a bit expensive and limited, but you can bring your own. I'm pretty keen on the Duck a L'Orange, as I'm not an escargot sort of a guy, but I'm told (by friends who are slightly more adventurous than I) that they are excellent. Two words that you need to experience here: Crème brulee.

An excellent place to spend part (or all) of a winter's Saturday afternoon while enjoying a friendly Shiraz. The bar snacks are also super. Jamon freshly shaved to order, a French cheese selection and beautiful house breads make this venue as much about the food as the wine. Check out the bottle shop next store too. It forms part of the business. Ask about selecting a bottle and enjoying it in the wine bar. Definitely will keep that in mind for next time.

The staff at this tremendous French Bistro have managed to really capture the essence of French dining and cooking and made it all available to patrons on Toorak Road. Upon walking through the doors of A La Bouffe you are greeted by a large marble bar downstairs and private more intimate seating upstairs. The whole venue is very elegant and light making for a classy and relaxing atmosphere. I came to A La Bouffe for dinner and was thoroughly impressed; I ordered the Salade De Saumon Fume as entree. This was Smoked Salmon Salad with a Citrus and Dill dressing; very light, fragrant and not to mention tasty. For my main I decided on the Coq Au Vin - Boneless chicken marinated red wine, mushroom and bacon sauce with mash potatoes on the side. Terrific! Washed it all down with a very smooth glass of Shiraz, needless to say I slept like a baby after this meal. A La Bouffe is a perfect French dining experience right in the heart of South Yarra, perfect for lunch or dinner or even a cheeky glass of vins rouge.

For a…read morestart, it's in a great location on Toorak Road just off Chapel Street and you only have to take a short walk to get to all the shops, bars and Jam Factory. There's also parking at the Como across the street, which is pretty handy. Walking in, you can't help but feel drawn into this relaxing and intimate atmosphere. It's perfect for a date (well a very expensive date!) or to enjoy a beautiful dinner service with close friends. I loved it from the moment I walked past the front door. The bar is also a nice touch and it gives you the option of grabbing a seat and having a drink while waiting for your table if it's busy. The staff are amazing, the ones who looked after us were all French which contributed to the whole experience. They are really nice, welcoming and took time in running us through the menu as well as the wine list. Seriously, everything on the menu looks good. We had the escargot and terrine for entree and they were really nice. For the main, we went with the lobster ravioli et crevette and the coq au vin - wow! Just wow! We were quite full after that but, credit to us, we soldiered on and had the mousse au chocolat and creme brulee a la lavende - Oh mon dieu...... C'etait pas croyable! It was as orgasmic as you'd get..... We had such a great time and were the last ones to leave I think but they never pressured us to go and were very accomodating all the way. This place is a must-try! I will definitely return and I can't wait to go back. Make sure you book first - great places like this fill up pretty quickly.

The first time I ventured in was to indulge in what is likely the happiest of Happy Hours - $2 oysters and $12 glasses of Mumm champagne - that is ACTUAL champagne, people. I refer to this kind of treat as Choysters and I guarantee you, you'll feel like a French royal by the time you finish that second glass. My next trip was for dinner. I was so excited to try their famous Steak Frites - Grilled Hopkins River Porterhouse, with salad and BOTTOMLESS FRIES. Can you feel my excitement as you read?! The steak was cooked to absolute perfection and the salad gave much needed greenery to the dish. This is such a fun destination if you've had a GREAT day at work and want to celebrate or are celebrating an anniversary of birthday but don't want anything too over the top.

Entrecôte is what I imagine heaven is like. It's fun, decadent, doesn't take itself too seriously, and has enough options to keep each day a little different, but not so many that you need to waste precious time making decisions. This isn't complex food, it's not food that requires discussions on how it was made or where the ingredients are from. Nope, it's delicious classic food that lets you get on with what's most important - enjoying the company of your friends. You'll eat and drink way more than you intended, but by golly will you have a fun night.

BEST RESTAURANT IN…read more.. I'd say: UNDERSTATED PRESTIGE is the best way to summarise this FRENCH restaurant. AN EXQUISITE BLEND OF TASTES in each dish. Yes, this place is fine dining, and it is much more than that. I hate to admit it, however this place could be my favourite restaurant. Shame it is a couple of hours drive from where I live. This is the second time I've eaten here. The first was seven months ago, and one waitress remembered me and where I sat that first time. One way I know this is a good restaurant is the standard of service doesn't vary from the same high standard from waitress to waitress. This time I started with the scallop soup, followed by a special of the day, Barramundi. I finished with the vanilla cheesecake. Each dish was a joy to look at. And, as previously mentioned, a delightful combination of flavours expertly combined. Against: Portions are small, so you are likely to want several courses.

The food was surprisingly delicious as I didn't really have any expectations, the presentation was not lavish however the atmosphere feels really homey especially as the chef came out and greeted many tables like old friends. What we munched on: Mixed Sausages - Mix of our gourmet sausages, cut up with onion sauce and a selection of mustards. It was amazing, not overfilling but a great way to try different types of sausages and they were all so juicy! Traditional Wiener schnitzel - crumbed veal Schnitzel. I honestly don't love veal but this was really well cooked with no toughness and no strange smells. I would go back but perhaps I would bring more friends to share a wider variety of dishes.
