Absolutely GREAT little treasure in the Blue Mountains, we accidentally came across this place when…read moreheaded back to our hotel after visiting the three sisters, the staff was absolutely fantastic. Two of them I think were even french and super down to earth, efficient, kind, sweet (we had a 13 year old boy falling asleep from jet lag that kicked in the second he sat down...poor guy) The food, I had escargots, my fiancée had the bouillabaisse, and she who normally wins the "Who chose best challenge" was jealous of how good my snails were. Yes I know, anything in butter and garlic will taste amazing, but no. These were generously portioned and perfectly cooked. Her bouillabaisse was packed with fish, but only had 1 clam and 1 shrimp in it which initially made the review lose 2 stars, but was really brought back up by the kindness of the patrons, the staff, and the ambiance. The music was nice with Yiann Thiersen playing from the Amelie album, a little more variety would have been good but I'm certainly not complaining seeing as I am a huge fan of Thiersen's.... but again, I'm left with this 3 star review that for some reason does not have a proper justification really. This place has the EXACT "je ne sais quoi" to redeem it back up to a 5 star rating. I think that the totality of circumstances made everything splendid, and as far as our experience was concerned, we did not feel that the shortcomings justified any fewer stars... En tout cas, thank you Rooster for a wonderful evening :-)

We had the place to ourselves for midweek lunch, yet never felt abandoned or an inconvenience. Quite the opposite. We indulged in a couple of signature cocktails (I recommend the L'Automne), and pork rillette and escargot starters. Zut alors, they were good! Main course was a shared Beef Wellington; perfectly done and surrounded with mushroom pieces and foie gras to separate the pastry and meat. With a recommended French Cabernet Franc to mix it up, we left sated and fulfilled in our goal to have an authentic experience in Canberra.

Was introduced to this restaurant by a friend, best dinner in a while!…read more This restaurant took over what used to be Delissio in Braddon, was a little surprised. The menu isn't very big, though they all read beautifully. The desserts were written on the board and appears to change frequently. Of note is that they are a number of items with extensive wait times, including an apple tartin for dessert, up to 40 mins worth of waiting - but it's written in the menu so you are aware of the wait time when you're deciding - really appreciated that. Started off with the Beetroot cured kingfish. It came in a dish, presented too beautiful to be eaten really! There was a bit of a difficultly differentiating the kingfish from the beetroot salad - but every morsel was beautiful and the kingfish slid beautifully in your mouth. Next was the ash crusted duck a l'orange style, meant for 2 pax. This was an interesting one. While we were waiting for it to come, the waiter brought the cooking duck to show us how it was cooked - in a block of still burning/smoking ash. It smelt so gorgeous and I really like that block of ash! We were salivating but it was still a few more minutes to go before it came back to the table, all shiny and gorgeous waiting to jump into my mouth. The duck was so beautiful it might be hard to do it justice. It was falling off the bone and melt in your mouth kind of juicy. The smokey taste to it was balanced by the sweetness of one of the oranges and the tartness of another (two types of planes were used). None of the tastes were overwhelming so you can still taste the subdued duck beneath it all. Absolutely gorgeous. The creme brûlée came last, with a fire going over it till the sugar caramelised. It was such a cool thing to watch the fire burn yet the custard remained cool and not marred. Service provided was great. They were attentive to us from the start, explaining what each item was and how it was cooked. If we had further questions, they would come throwing information at us, no worries. Particularly, I like how they showed me the duck in the block of ash. I was so excited I forgot to take a picture of it. Value for money - for the 2 of us, we spent about 110 dollars. It's definitely a little pricier than what I usually pay for dinner, but in this scenario it's worth every penny and then some. The quality of the food, the thought put behind the balance of the senses deserve to be appreciated, but I am glad it is at that price so it's still within the reach of people who appreciate good food.

It is located at a lower level than the other restaurants and is very private. Our waiter was very personable and was able to describe the food. Glad we came back.

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.
