Food and service was out of this world. The pumpkin gnocchi, in a French/ Japanese restaurant, was the best I have ever eaten. The Bansho oysters were fantastic. Together with the scallops. Drink prices reasonable, but not a cheap night out.

Very nice menu with lots of options. We tried the chef’s feed me option, and devoured every plate. The young french server made our experience even better and was very fun & hospitable.

• French • Elsternwick
Mandoline Elsternwick is a relaxed and casual cafe along Glen Huntly Road in Melbourne serving up a delicious blend of Australian and French dishes for breakfast and lunch. Also offering expertly made coffee and moreish pastries, you’ll be in cafe food heaven at this spot, trust us. Keep an eye out for breakfast options such as spicy shakshuka and eggs Benedict topped with slow-cooked beef brisket and corn croquettes, as well as lunch dishes that include seafood stew, cassoulet cooked with smoked pork belly, sausage and duck confit and burgers filled with all the trimmings. Popular for good reason, this French inspired cafe in Elsternwick does tend to fill up so booking ahead is highly recommended.

Great dinner as ever Steak perfectly cooked others raved over the lamb shoulder all under auspices of 40 dollar main meal and glass of wine deal. Served attentive but relaxed . A neighbourhood gem I constantly return to.

• French • Richmond
We had an excellent experience at Bon Matin - a small bistro hidden away under an apartment block by the Yarra River. We ordered the chicken liver pâté and Blue Cheese Gougère for entree, both exceptional and the Duck á la orange for main - delicious! Perfectly sized dishes for French cuisine. Service was friendly and unobtrusive. We will definitely return. This bistro should be much busier than it is. A real hidden gem.
