after seeing some of the reviews on here I was a bit worried to come as we were invited by my fiancé's parents but I was totally shocked. The food is very good (I was speaking to the waiter and apparently they have acquired a gun new chef). Extensive French wine list. will be returning !
Reading some of the reviews, I was a little hesitant to go there, but so glad that I did. My wife and I had a lovely evening and look forward to going back. The service was great. Very friendly and welcoming. It's not fast, but not slow either and we found it refreshing not to be rushed through our meal so that the restaurant can re-use the table. The food was also very good. The price was fair and reasonable. Not cheap, but certainly not expensive either. Overall, we really enjoyed the experience and will most definitely return.
Situated in historical secluded Leigh St is the delightfully French Corner Bistrot. Small and intimate with an over looking Mezzanine, ideal for small functions or parties. Around the walls are interesting French posters, maps and memrobillia. The decor is simple with white table cloths predominating. We chose snails, untypically pan frfied with walnut, bacon, parsley, garlic & butter, on a bed of spinach., Escargots facon chef, stunning!. From the daily special board, we also chose local fresh garlic prawns, succulent. Both accompanied by fresh bread ideal for absorbing the delicious sauces. Our choice for mains were the duck, cooked two ways; Margret (pan fried) and leg (confit) with mushroom and truffle sauce. Canard deux cuissant sauce champignons et truffes, absolutely delightful. Also available was duck with cherry sauce, which also sounded fabulous. The Barrramundi, baked with lemon thyme & butter, was another daily special, mouth watering. We finished with two perrenial favourites, Cream caramel and delightfully crisp profitteroles, with an ice cream filling and coating of warm choclate sauce, completing a fabulous French dinner. French trained chef, French waitresses, gives this Bistrot real authenticity.
