The restaurant has a fun vibe, and I appreciate their schtick: they make steak and fries (with a side salad). The salad was fine. The fries were fine (though not bottomless as promised on the menu). I also had a mojito that was pretty good. The steak was below average. So grissly that it was very difficult to cut. As far as I could tell, the steak was totally unseasoned (not even salt). The sauce (cognac and peppercorn) was bland. The service was fairly attentive and friendly. If you like bland steak, this may be the place for you! read more

They do one main and the do it really well. Every steak is made to order and when you ask for medium rare it act comes medium rare which is great. Steak was so tender it was like slicing butter. Staff was great and very accommodating. Drinks came promptly service was quick and you can see right into the kitchen read more

Les Bubbles - Créme Brûlée - French Near Me - Fortitude Valley, QLD

For a steak place that has one dish, I honestly expected it to be spectacular. We went years ago back when they opened, and I remember it was great. This time, it was honestly sub-par. They do one thing, and don't do it well. For a 5:30pm booking, we ordered our food at around 5:50 and we weren't served the steaks until 7pm. Far too long for a restaurant that literally had only 3 other tables occupied. Service was also average, we had to keep on asking for more drinks long after they were finished. The only good thing were the chips, they were excellent, which is quite sad as they're literally just chips. read more

Les Bubbles does some pretty good steak and chips, though not so good as to rock anybody's World... The starter salad we ordered was pretty ordinary, and though it was billed as coming with "walnuts" and there was only one... While the steak was good, all of our orders were crossed; none of our steaks were cooked as requested :-( On the plus side, the fries were really good :-) read more

Damien Griffiths has definitely hit it out of the park with this one. Les Bubbles is a quaint moderately sized French Bistro and Bar paying homage to its somewhat sordid past. Les Bubbles is on Wickham St in the Valley and was once an illegal casino and brothel back in the Fitzgerald Inquiry. The photos of infamous 1980's characters adorn every wall with red, yellow and blue neon signage on the exposed brick. The food: Les Bubbles has one main on the menu - Steak Frites. A cut of beautifully cooked well seasoned rib fillet and a side of salty frites - or French fries, served with an option of sauces. The Bearnaise, Cafe de Paris, and Green Peppercorn and Cognac and also a side salad served before the mains arrive. Did I mention that the frites are unlimited? Yes! You can have as many or as little as you like along with the sauce! Chip lovers rejoice! After a main each, with complimentary bread and butter, 2 glasses of Shiraz, and a perfectly airy chocolate mousse with vanilla chantilly cream it is safe to say we left quite satisfied. Go here if you love steak and chips, an epic dessert list, and to people watch - the clothing choices that patrons chose to wear were fabulous. The service was fantastic. Every single waitperson was bubbly (hehe) and friendly and the wonderful French accents of the males was music to my ears. The females in French lace trimmed maid style aprons was a bit tongue in cheek - a nod to the buildings history perhaps. read more

This is fast becoming our favourite low-key, low-fuss dinner spot. Where else in Brisbane can you get PERFECTLY cooked medium rare steak, the most amazingly delicious sauces and unlimited fries with a stunning array of cocktails? Oh and just in case you didn't know, it's ALL gluten free. Yes, you read that right. The chips. The Sauce. The majority of stunning desserts (including the gosh darn chocolate fondant, omggggggg). It's a coeliac's heaven. We have been here twice and each time we enjoy the food and drink and excellent service. We booked both times due to its popularity, and I would advise against turning up looking for a table. The earlier you can book the better lest you're stuck with a 5pm slot -- and they will churn you through quickly! The restaurant upstairs is dotted with smaller wooden tables and larger comfortable booths. We are yet to have enough people to warrant a booth, but the tables are comfortable enough (if not a little cramped). I LOVE the various pictures and paintings of Brisbane celebrities adorning the walls both upstairs and downstairs. It adds a lot of charm and humour abounds everywhere you look. The bar downstairs is a little more basic although it's not often you find a bar with a spa in it! All drinks are served in plastic cups and there is ample cushioned bench seating along the side of the venue. I would imagine it would get hot down there when it's full - thankfully you can jump in the spa and cool off at any point. All in all we will continue coming back and delighting in the reliability of such beautifully put together meals. I find myself getting cravings for that sauce on the regular and who can go past the chocolate fondant with ooozy chocolate sauce.... go easy on the fries though, you need to save some space for this delicacy. read more

Les Bubbles - The amazing tender steak with traditional cafe sauce. - French Near Me - Fortitude Valley, QLD

This restaurant is not good. I ate here once in August. The gimmick of Les Bubbles is that they offer one meal: steak medium rare with fries, sauce, and a salad. The one meal they cook should therefore be good. However, it was not good. Specifically the steak was not good. The salad and fries were fine. The steak was very chewy with gristle in every bite. I don't know how they found such gristly steaks. Steaks I buy from supermarkets never have that much gristle. The promise of bottomless fries is an empty boon. The salad, the edible parts of the steak, and one portion of fries are more than enough to be sated. Anyone would only be overeating to ask for more fries. It's not worth $40 (AUD). The service is odd. The waitresses were excessively polite as if speaking from a politeness script. But then it was difficult to get their attention to ask for more water. They call you sir and thank you for speaking to them, but then the service isn't actually good. I learned of this place from a Lonely Planet travel guide. I should have known better than to take a recommendation from Lonely Planet since I've been burned by them before. Never again. read more

I have eaten at this restaurant for years and last night I took a client for dinner and it was beyond terrible! Wine was incorrect, they brought a bottle of red and not white. we then ordered x2 marrow starters and was advised to share one as you get two on a plate and that ordering x2 is too much to then be served one marrow and I got nothing! (I asked for another one to be told id have to wait 10 minutes and my main would be ready by then). Salad for me was full of nuts but my guest had none, the plates were taken away before my guest had even finished eating, he had his fork in his mouth whilst his plate was taken away! then the steak was plonked in front of us within a second, no cutlery I had to ask from some, then the meat was tough and full of fat! (I left half of it). I then went and spoke to the supervisor and complained to them quietly as I didn't want my guest to hear to then have a very young lady come to the table and ask what the issue was in front of my guest. She then walked off and ignored me for ten minutes until I walked to her again and asked what her feedback was to my complaint? they offered me another bottle of wine or desert which I refused and then and only then when I became livid that she advised me that they would half my bill and that they had new chefs and one of the owners had fought with the other owner and left the business and the place was falling apart. So unprofessional on every level I will never return! The whole meal should of been refunded to say the least!!!!! read more

Good steak. Good chips. Good service. Good vibe. I like the idea of a place that only tries to do one thing and results in being able to do it consistently well. Only one choice on the menu - steak with chips (and a salad before). It's A$35 plus cost of drinks. read more

I loves me a good steak and you cannot beat Les Bubbles for a good steak! Set in the old Bubbles Bathhouse brothel, it pays homeage to its seedy past in a comical yet classy way. Notorious figues from the 70's and 80's adorne the walls and it is quite funny to have someone like Sir Joh, Terry Lewis or Russ Hinze stare down on you while you are eating! The steak here is just amazing. Very little fat, cooked perfectly, unlimited frittes (chips) and the sauces ... WOW! Desserts are amazing as are the cocktails. The only downside to this place is that it would not be the right place to bring a vegan, vegetarian on non-red meat eater here. read more

"When I go out, I love steak and caviar." Cameron Diaz Well Cameron may not get the caviar here but she sure will get an awesome steak and a bottomless supply of pommes frites. I went here for dinner last night and tried to book on Dimmi to find all reservations were taken. I gave them a call and they said it is possible to rock up and pop your name down on the waiting list.......so off I trot to Les Bubbles and do just that. The friendly door team took my number and estimated a potential wait of 45 minutes for a table and suggested I pop downstairs for a drink in the bar as I wait........you only have to offer me a drink once so downstairs I decent. Interestingly the building used to be an old brothel and downstairs in the "Bathhouse" bar you will find a bar with a spa! If you are brave enough you can strip down and jump in as towels are provided. I was less brave and grabbed a beer and before long my phone was ringing saying there was a table for me and bring my drink up with me. The interior is pretty cool. A mixture of gloss black brick tiles, mosaic flooring, walls packed with random and eclectic photographs and paintings and a mix of globe lights, old fashioned fillament bulbs and yellow neon sign lights. Ever been to a restaurant and just cannot decide what to order? Well here this problem has been elevated as there is only one thing on the menu.......steak and bottomless pommes frites. You have the choice of three sauces to accompany your steak - when I visited the choices were Sauce de Paris, Bernaise or Peppercorn and Cognac. You are served a fresh salad to start and then your steak is brought over. I ate the recommended medium-rare steak and it was cooked to perfection. You get so many pommes frites even the biggest of appetites would struggle to ask for a second helping. I missed dessert but there looked like an choice of American Sundae type desserts. If you are vegetarian it did say to ask your server what the vegetarian dish was, so therefore think you will get something more than salad and chips if you are not a meat eater. The restaurant is in a redeveloping part of China Town and I certainly recommend heading out of the normal beat to check this restaurant out. If you don't like to wait then I recommend booking in advance. Enjoy your steak! read more

Loved the fun Frenchy vibe and upbeat and super helpful staff. We had tasty meals (the leafy salad that comes out before the steak is covered in an amazing dressing and steak was cooked to perfection) and my cheeky French maid cocktail was delish and was served in a cute glass. The biggest decision you will be faced with all night is which sauce - I can vouch for the French and Bernaise. Fries were awesome as well. If you're in the mood for some classy meat, this will be your jam. read more

Les Bubbles - Cheeky French maid cocktail - French Near Me - Fortitude Valley, QLD

Ok so Damien Griffith has done it again! Introducing Le Bubbles the best Parisian Steakhouse outside of France. Making its home in an old illegal casino/brothel/bath-house, Le Bubbles oozes character and old school charm. Steak Frites is the centerpiece of the Le Bubbles menu - in fact it's the only thing on the menu! But don't let that put you off, it's an amazing concept and they do it so very well. Once your seated, fresh baguette is brought to the table, closely followed by a delicious garden salad. You then have a choice of steak, steak or um steak - but you can choose how you want it cooked (highly recommend medium-rare). It comes with your choice of sauce and bottomless fries - yep that's right you can eat as many fries as you want, it doesn't stop! If you have a bit of a sweet tooth, they have a great selection of french inspired sweets to hit the spot and a great cocktail list for those that prefer the liquid kind of dessert. Overall I think it's great - it's the perfect place for a great steak and a few drinks afterwards. read more

By far the most amazing steak i have come across and will be frequenting this place on all of my Brisbane trips now. The chips served with the steak also were amazing to matched and had a nice smokey steak flavour to them also, the sauces with the meal was also 5/5. Keep in mind this place does one thing and does it well and they also have decent wait staff in which we went without a reservation with a group of 4 and they managed to secure a booth for us very shortly into the visit. read more

Excellent "Steak/Frite". A simple and efficient menu card that remind me the best "Bistro en Framce". Definitively a GO TO place! read more

This place is awesome !! The food , the service and the price !! best steaks in Brisbane yum And all you can eat chips !! $ 34 for light salad nice homemade bread and steak & as much chip as u can eat !! New favourite steak place read more

When I first heard the concept behind Les Bubbles I was thrilled. After frequenting Relais de Venise "L'Entrecôte" (http://www.relaisdevenise.com) when I lived in London, I couldn't believe the idea hadn't come to Brisbane sooner... perfectly cooked steak, a delicious sauce and UNLIMITED FRITES. I have now been to Les Bubbles three times and haven't been disappointed. The service is always fast, the meal is exactly what you would expect (steak and fries) and it's good value. It's got a great atmosphere and is the perfect spot for a late night meal, catch-up with friends or intimate dinner. I highly recommend the pepper and cognac sauce with your steak and fries... and don't be shy in asking for more fries and sauce! read more

They have the best steak and frites in town. The steak is really tender and the frites are crisp! The staff are awesome and the sauces are excellent! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves steak! Also a great restaurant to go to with friends! read more

The service was lovely and the sauces were delicious .... But the steak was one of the most ordinary my friend and I have had - very fatty. Giving stars only because of the yummy sauce and service. read more

Steak & Frites - Wow do something exceptionally well and stick to it! Steak done to perfection. Fries delicious and the Paris Sauce is tangy and delicious. The waitresses wear French Maid uniforms in keeping with the buildings former use as a brothel! But the ladies are friendly and a bit cheeky, but all above board and in keeping with the spirit of the former use. Service was timely, efficient and accurate. A great meal experience. Would recommend. read more
