One of the best restaurants in Sydney hands down. The chef is less a chef and more of a wizard. Took my mum here for Mother’s Day and she hasn’t stopped raving about. I’ve been here many times now and there’s a reason for that. The food, the service team and the setting is all amazing. I tell anyone that will listen that if they love French food, this is a must visit.
