Excellent meal, combining sushi with one of their mains, and a fine wine selection. Friendly, helpful service, and a nice atmosphere. Definitely one of the best experiences to be had in the Melbourne area.

A beautiful experience overall. Authentic french food, beautifully prepared and enjoyed with the Chablis. The French onion soup was amongst the best we have tasted. We love a restaurant that serves traditional French fare such as rabbit, lamb’s brains, cassoulet etc. The desserts of crepe suzette and ille flottante were perfect. The atmosphere was cosy without being cramped. The fireplace was comforting and the service excellent. Highly recommended. Will be trying their Brighton location next time.
