I came here last night with my significant other and I can’t express how amazing it was! The chicken stir fry and the lamb were cooked perfectly and the dessert was to die for. To top it off, the service was fantastic, G and the other two lovely ladies that were working were nothing but kind, considerate and constantly had a smile on their faces. They made my birthday night perfect and if I could rate any higher than 5, I would �

Went to Libertine for a birthday - thanks Catherine and Nathan 10 person 7 course set menu (I think set menu may be compulsory for larger groups). The food was excellent - each course really was great, and there was plenty; unfortunately we didn't finish it all. Duck pancakes, can be a bit of a cliche, were really good and they made them special - pork belly awesome. It get a bit meaty but that's no problem for most. Service was excellent - the waitress in the outdoor bar (where we started) was really attentive and the waitress for our table was pretty sharp too. No hiccoughs. Great food and service.

This restaurant is well designed, staffed, and organised. The food was tasted great and there were plenty of options for people who are coeliac gluten free. The food was well prepared and came out within a good time frame from order with an efficient order and timing such that there was something always on the table to eat. I would recommend for anyone who suffers from coeliac disorder.

I popped in to Libertine with a friend for the $39 five course Monday Banquet and it was beautiful. The food was fresh and flavorsome. The service was fantastic. Both my friend and I had dietary requirements and the staff cheerfully changed the set menu items for us. Highly recommended.

Glad we booked as it was really busy but staff were still really attentive to our group. Food was amazing and as I have GF dietary requirements this was catered for well. Only 2 dishes in the 7 course banquet were amended and was still delicious. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to find a reason to go again!!

Took the family on Father's day.

We have been a couple of times before - but were worried about some of the odd crazy-low scores that we'd seen on reviews - we wondered if it had lost its mojo.

Absolutely awesome meal 

The starters were fought over by the family - negotiations quickly turned to attempts at downright plate smash and grab.  We had the Braised Angus Cheek Dumplings, Vietnamese Organic Pork Spring Rolls and Mushroom, Tofu & Smoked Speck San Choi Bao.

Still I worried about those reviews - maybe we had just been lucky with the trouble-causing starters ??

We chose individual dishes to share instead of the selection / banquet options.

I was relieved we did as we went for the larger Bug Curry option and it was a stunner.  The pork belly was perfect and I also really enjoyed the Crispy Baby Barra.

Desert heralded another fight across the table - the Banana Beignets were my fav,  just ahead of the Creme Brulet and Choc Hazelnut Fondant.

We won't be leaving it so long between drinks again !

To those who left bad reviews - whaaaaaat !

We dined here early one evening and thoroughly enjoyed the meal.  Food was excellent, the stand-out dish probably being the pork belly.  Good selection of beers, cocktails, etc.

We ate at Libertine on a Monday night and shared three meals between two people. Given gluten intolerance I was interested in the GF options on the menu, of which there are many. The waitress advised her favourite dishes are the chicken stir-fry, pork belly and prawn fried rice. We bought all three and each were filling and delicious! It was a little too much food even though we were hungry. It’s hard to compare them due to the different flavours but my favourite was the chicken.
The decor and atmosphere was lovely and the waitress was great. Would love to go back to try some drinks on a busier night. Would definitely be back.

Libertine - where French and Vietnamese cuisine comes together to an explosion of exotic flavours through their exquisite spread! We happened to be there during their happy hour of 5-6pm where every entree dish, you get two for the price of one through their ‘double the love’ offer. Enjoyed every bite of their spread and can not wait to go back and try every other item on the menu!

Perhaps the best food I've ever eaten, from the entrees to desserts that we selected. The staff were incredibly friendly and were quick to help, but not too pushy and frequent like in some high end restaurants. The food arrived in a timely manner and we never once felt like we were waiting. I cannot fault this restaurant, even down to the lighting that made for a great, cozy atmosphere.

Absolutely delicious! Went for my birthday, they sat is in a nice quiet spot which was appreciated as the restaurant can be a little noisy. We had the 'choose your own 6 dishes' on Tuesday and everything was superb! It was the perfect amount of food for 2 people and everything was so well cooked and flavorsome. We started with Popcorn chicken, san choy bau and scallops, then the twice cooked pork belly, wagyu steak and papaya salad. It's really hard to choose a favorite, because literally everything was amazing, but the Pork belly was probably the highlight. So nice to see so many GF options on a menu and feel like everything you are eating is fresh and made with quality ingredients. The service was also fabulous and we could not have had a more perfect night. Thank you!

After watching a show at the Spring Hill Reservoir on Friday with friends we all decided to go to the barracks to see if we could get a bite to eat. Everything was closed however Libertine were prepared to let us order its bar menu. Lovely ambience, snacks were yummy as share plates, wine was amazing and given how late it was Ann's we were the last table there the service was excellent. Really excited about going back for a main meal.

We booked here Sunday night for my husband's birthday and what an experience!! Our waiter was a very friendly and knowledgeable America guy who helped us pick tasty cocktails from the extensive menu! We ordered the 10 course banquet and boy was it a lot of food! We ended up taking most of the dishes home. Delicious food, beautifully presented, and very reasonable in cost. Highly recommend!

Been here a couple of times before, but tonight we decided to try the 7 course banquet. For $59 pp it was good value, with a salmon tartare to start, followed by BBQ duck crepe and a Vietnamese salad it was a great start. The main dishes of twice cooked pork belly and spiced lamb rump arrived, both dishes well cooked and well presented. The crackling on the pork belly was just right and the lamb tender. With a papaya salad and a Creme brûlée to finish off a great banquet. Service here was first class and the menu is diverse and well put together. I think if you chose a banquet, or ordered from the menu you will find great dishes at Libertine.

Great spot with 2 free hours of on site parking!
Lovely dining hall with an outdoor area if you don’t mind street noise and heat.
Warm welcome, friendly efficient service.
Lovely leather bound menus and wine list.
If you don’t opt for a share banquet of some sort it’s expensive and the meals are better if you add rice/ potato etc....
Wine list is good but wines by the glass are limited.
Edamame - yum.
Scallops (not in shell) at $6 per scallop is ridiculously expensive. My crispy skinned pork belly was delicious, loved the cabbage accompaniment, but yes, it needed more....
My friend had san choy bow which oddly came with wedges of iceberg rather than the usual leaves/ cups....made eating it so difficult for her.
Anyway, it busy at all on a Saturday afternoon.... wonder why?
We skipped dessert and coffee.

We ordered the set meal 35pp consisting of the scallops, lamb mince in betel leaves, followed by the pork belly with pickled watermelon, papaya salad and wagyu beef. Could not fault the seamless harmony of flavours. The set menu also came with a drink for each of us. The atmosphere rings true to the East-meets-West fusion feel of the restaurant and despite the flies coming in from outside we would not be able to fault the experience. An undiscovered gem for myself and my family, we will be back!

Incredible food and service every time I've been. Came back a couple of nights ago for the 10 course banquet, it was amazing. Loved every course especially the twice cooked pork belly, Japanese scallops, grilled waygu beef and beef wrapped in betel leaf. A perfect dessert to end the night, chocolate beignets with coconut ice cream and caramelised banana.

We booked our table and arrived on schedule. Our table was beautifully set. We sat and were offered water and given the drinks menu in lovely leather bound menu holders. Once we ordered drinks we were presented with the food menu which also offered a banquet option. The table all decided on a few entrees and some larger dishes to share. The smaller dishes arrived first then larger meals and sides came to the table. The scallops were a real highlight. Also the service was very good. The food was well flavoured and beautifully presented.

Went here for date night on Saturday. We made reservations a few days ahead via their website, and was pleasantly surprised to get a phone call from the restaurant to confirm our table in the afternoon.

We decided to skip entrees and ordered two of the larger share plates - the Jungle Curry, which was a deliciously spicy vegetarian stir fry, and the Crackling Pork Belly, which had perfect crackle and a good balance of sweet and sour accompaniments. Along with drinks (they have an extensive drinks selection), we were quite full following these two large plates and unfortunately didn't get a chance for dessert.

Prices were pricey but for reasonable portions. Service was efficient - waiters were coming and going, however it's difficult to flag someone down. Ambience was okay - discordant music, loud bustling conversations; maybe more of a friends' outing rather than an intimate date night.

What an absolutely outstanding meal (10 course banquet) - so many perfect dishes!  Service was spot-on too - attentive, but unobtrusive.  This was our third visit to  this restaurant and it never disappoints.  PS: didn't expect the dessert to be anything fancy, but it too was amazing (banana doughnuts and coconut ice-cream with toffee'd bananas, garnished with edible flowers).  By the way - the music is really great!

Lovely food but a tad $$. We had edamame, prawn ricepaper rolls and fried spring rolls. All really delicious. Duck pancakes were my favourite! We sat outside and it was really pretty but really hot! Cocktails and drinks are very overpriced and service was a bit slow. I enjoyed the food but not sure I'd rush back.

I'd been wanting to dine here for a long time after liking the page on Facebook and always seeing it's photos and deals of delicious food. Being a Monday night we wanted to have the banquet, I called in advance to make sure it could be gluten free and this was not a problem. After being seated we waited a little while before ordering, at this stage I was getting rather hungry and said to the lovely waitress 'we're so hungry we'd like to order right away' knowing that we were going to have the Monday night special banquet for 2 (gluten free) I didn't even look at the menu. Out rolled the food! It was amazing and my friend being a celiac was very much impressed with all the gluten free options. But we couldn't get over how much food was being served and commented to the waiters continuously about this. We were in a heavenly food state of delirium when we were told dessert was on its way! All this for $35 per head! Amazing! Then the bill arrived.......$60 per head!!!! Because I said the magic words 'we're so hungry' the waitress took this as meaning that I would like to order the 'I'm hungry banquet' which I didn't even know existed! The staff were very understanding about this and we paid the $35 per head banquet that we thought we had ordered. We were giggling all the home. My only critique would be to clarify the order with the customers to make sure everybody is getting what they wanted. Not that I'm complaining, I'm not going to have to eat for another few days after that stunning banquet feast!

Libertine scores a 5 out 5 for me. We had the most wonderful group dinner there on last Saturday night and everything was perfect. We arrived early for pre-dinner drinks and we were greeted by friendly and professional staff who ensured we were kept hydrated, and who managed to organise numerous drink orders as various people arrived. They did so while keeping their cool and never making us feel as though we were a bother. This is what good service should be, but seems difficult to find in Brisbane.

We then went over to our tables for dinner, and despite several last minute cancellations and having a number of people with particular eating requirements, the waiting staff took our orders and accommodating every request, again while making us feel as though nothing was too much trouble.

The food when it arrived was just magnificent. We had the $55 Banquet and the food was plentiful and delicious. I never thought a salad could be healthy and delicious before my night at Libertine. I left feeling quite virtuous. The chicken and pork belly dishes were magnificent. Everyone at the table was making contented noises about the food and everyone ate more than they needed to. The food was that delicious. One or two of our guests managed to squeeze in dessert, the Mandarine Creme Brûlée. It was apparently delicious. It was hoovered up before it made it to my end of the table.
The restaurant has such a wonderful atmosphere; the paper lanterns provide a beautiful ambience and the the little covered areas create a market place/village feel, so that even though there are people all around you, it feels quite private and cosy.

The drinks list is extensive and delicious. I loved how they take old favourites and play around with them to bring them up to modern palate sensibilities. There is a drink here for every tastebud. 

The crowd seemed to be made of people of all ages and all seemed to be enjoying themselves. We had the best night, and came away feeling as though we could do it all again the following night. I will be returning to try Happy Hour on a Saturday afternoon; I need to work my way through their extensive cocktail list.

Thank you again Libertine and your wonderful staff.

Dined with Libertine this past Saturday and enjoyed every moment. Celebrating an anniversary with my partner, Libertine pulled out all the stops. With a intimate booth in the couples section of the dinning room, the atmosphere for such an event was spot on. Libertine has an expansive wine and cocktail menu and are willing to stray from those listed as well. My parter has a severe nut allergy and our waitress was more than helpful, explaining our options. Overall an extremely enjoyable experience, definitely will be returning soon.

An enchanting place to go to! With the fairy lights set up outside and the dark candlelit indoor this is a great place to go for a nice secluded night out! Great service and we were attended to promptly. The food was lovely, with the crab croquettes, pork on sugarcane skewers and chicken skewers being absolute lovely. Salt and pepper squid was a little different and not really to my liking (the batter was not that great plus the sauce underneath was grey and a little off putting). Cocktails were absolutely devine!!! They have great specials throughout the week, I might go back for a mid week visit!!!

My first time to Libertine. Bought the end of financial year voucher for 2 to celebrate anniversary. Went during lunch on Sunday. We were lucky as it wasn't busy. The customer service was very good.  

It seems like 6-course banquet was too much for 2 person but we did enjoy the meals and managed to shared a dessert.

Some of the food can be more spicy though. Just personal preference =)

You can always count on Libertine for a good night out, I have been coming to Libertine for a while and I always leave fuller and jollier than when I walked in. The staff are attentive and friendly and always down for a joke and a chat. 

The food is consistently delicious they recently updated the menu with some tasty changes, but I'm still a sucker for the Duck Crepes and Spring Rolls! 

My favourite time to go is on a Sunday afternoon in the courtyard, with a couple of tunes playing and some $5 happy hour bevvies and $10 cocktails as well if you fancy (Hello Espresso Martinis!) I think happy hour is  on most days of the week as well. 

I'm constantly recommending Libertine as my restaurant of choice close to the city, for something a little special or just a good night out.

Came here with my brother for a few late afternoon drinks and decided after a couple of nice cocktails to have a bit to eat as well. We sat outside in the leafy courtyard area, which had a cool and relaxed vibe about it and cute, quirky tables. The staff were prompt to fix us up with plates and give honest advice about what to order once we had said what we were feeling and the food was quick and delicious. The duck crepes were our starter, with a sauce that I was actually licking off my fingers. Then the San Choi Bao, which was fresh and healthy, and finally the yellow Goat Curry. The meat was beautifully tender, the sauce was full of flavour and it was just spicy enough to appease my brothers appetite for the like, without being too much. Only thing to mention however is that the serving was huge! (We were warned to only order a share plate between us if we weren't too hungry, but the menu was too appealing to cut down our choices to less than three). We did get to take the leftovers home though so no complaints really. Good wine list as well, we had a bottle of grenache/shiraz which was outstanding for the price. Beautiful venue with beautiful people. Can say no more

Great spot in the historic Paddington Barracks. I came in last week with the girlfriend on Tuesday night and was told they do a make your own banquet. We ended up getting the crab croquettes, spring rolls, tuna rice paper rolls, turkey san choi bao, pork belly (oh gawd it was soooo good) and a papaya salad. Pretty decent for $49 per person. We also helped ourlseves to a choccy fondant.
The food and service were superb and the staff were exceptional in explaining to us the dishes. 11/10 would dine again :)

While the service was somewhat slow and inattentive, the food at Libertine was mostly good. Our meal consisted of a chicken salad, crab croquette and fried squid which were passable, with pork belly and a papaya salad that were much more agreeable. The drinks list is not particularly well paired to the food, but has enough selection to please most dinners. Though they could improve service with an increase in staff, the ambient outside lighting and well-crisped pork more than made up for it. Overall a pleasant restaurant for its price range.

I was a bit wary about Libertine based on the mixed reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised with the variety and quality of the food on the menu. The papaya salad was the highlight of my meal, and the lighting and ambience were on point. The only thing I can fault was the service which was rushed at times, and the pretty limited wine list.

I can never fault the food here - always delicious - full of flavour and quite generous with the servings. We arrived at 6 on a Wednesday and within the half hour it was bustling with guests. This meant we often were left waiting to order another drink and staff seemed run off their feet (could hear them walking around on the wooden floors quite loudly, accompanied by the constant ringing of their phone). This was fine though and we waited patiently. We ordered the 7 course (2 share) banquet at $55 PP - an absolutely great deal. This usually has a set menu; however tonight we could choose. We ate (did our best) at 3 entrees and 2 mains which all came promptly and were extremely pleased AND very full. Despite our full tums we were more than happy to have a good go at consuming our last 2 mains. However, 45 minutes had past and by this time we were fully satisfied and done eating and ready to head home. We got up and paid the bill and let our waiter know of our situation. He was very apologetic and took 2 drinks off our bill. We will be coming back - but will be ordering only a couple of meals- it was way too much food. The red duck curry was my favourite - followed by the pork belly!

Libertine is one of my favourite restaurants, yet I don't go there nearly as often as I should. I don't know why - mad I guess.  My most recent visit with was a girlfriend prior to heading out to the Comedy Gala - so unfortunately our time was somewhat limited.

However we still decided to go with the "I'm Hungry" option - crazy really as we couldn't truly do justice to all the food that appeared - so I need to return with hubby (who is a bigger eater) and actually give "I'm Hungry" another go and not leave so much on the plates.

We had a lovely table inside - I love the fitout at Libertine - hence why it is one of my favourite restaurants - is just feels decadent and fabulous.  We decided to celebrate and share a bottle of Louis Roderer - nothing could be more perfect on a summer Saturday evening with gorgeous french-viet street food.

Then our banquet started to appear.  With crab and cracker coconut chilli crab, flash seared japanese scallops, san choi bao with fried port, jungle curry, green papaya salad and bbq duck crepe - we were in heaven.  And soooo much food - I was surprised how big the servings were to be honest - extremely good value for money.  Every bite was perfection and I was so disappointed that I couldn't sit there longer and enjoy things with a little less "rush", but that's our own fault.

Service was sublime with our lovely waiter proving to be friendly and attentive.  And we enjoyed it all so much, that we returned after our "gig" to enjoy a few espresso martinis out in the courtyard later in the evening.

Another fabulous meal at Libertine that just reminds me why I really really should go there more often!

Read the advertisment of this restaurant on the Qantas magazine while I was travelling to Melbourne for holiday during Christmas. Made a not to explore it after I came back to Brisbane. Had dinner last Saturday and found its venue is quite large. The vibe inside at inside and alfresco dining areas are different, whereas, inside set-up is elegant while the outdoor is free and causal. Service was very friendly and attentive. Ordered the $55 per head & shared courses banquet. General impression was so so nut portions were more than enough that we could not finish them. Although they focus on serving fusion of Vietnamese and French but I could not tast any trace of them. Sand crab on Betel was bland and the serious let down should be the pork belly, which I could not enjoy the crackling skin because it was too hard that I don't want to see my dentist. Tastes of the others were good, particularly the marinated chicken was the hero. May I suggest the chefs not giving two chicken dishes and two pork dishes in a seven courses banquet. More varieties of proteins would be much appreciated. Having said that this restaurant is defintiely a good place for gathering, which was proved by the joyful facial expressions from those diners who were all indulging in their parties.

Honestly couldn't fault our dinner experience at Libertine. Being my husband's birthday, they had noted my request for a quite table when booking online, and all staff we encounted made a fuss to wish him well (which I loved, but he was embarrassed by!) We ordered the banquet which was a huge amount of food, even for hubby who has a very manly appetite. Pared with a well recommended bottle of red, it was a truly lovely evening. Would certainly recommend.

We haven't been to Libertine for years because of a bad experience. We thought we'd try here for dinner Friday night. Booked online and received a confirmation phone call - love that.

The place is as beautiful as it was when it first opened. The menu even seemed similar, but this time the food was delicious and the service friendly and welcoming.

My ginger margherita was strong, and while I wasn't a fan, S devoured what I couldn't drink.

We had a good selection - sand crab pate on crackers (S loved, me not so much); duck pancakes; mushroom dumplings; Japanese scallops; and squid - which were all amazing.

The food came out really quickly - so quickly, in fact, we had sat down at 8pm and had pretty much finished by 8.45pm. That would be my only negative. The food came out too quickly (you normally wouldn't hear me complain about that) but it all came out at once too - no real time to enjoy each dish - it was all a bit hurried, rather than staggered, and no time to sit, relax and enjoy a drink before the onslaught.... But it was only a minor thing. We left and went over to Lefty's very satisfied.

10/10. We visited Libertine on Saturday night and can honestly say the evening was one of the best we've ever had in Brisbane, from the moment we walked through the door we were treated like family. The delicious personalised cocktails on arrival and hilarious conversation with the lovely lady at the bar (Alice?) were an absolute treat and the general attitude, knowledge and professionalism of the staff was extremely impressive. The food was delicious and presented like edible works of art, thankyou so much for a fantastic evening Libertine, we'll be back soon!

Neither of our opening cocktails were very good, definitely a bit of work to be done here, but everything else was superb! The food, the wine, the dessert and the service were all first class and made for a wonderful romantic night.

The whole family happy. I took my wife and family for a birthday treat and discovered a faultless and surprisingly good experience.

The $55 menu is awesome - we added duck pancakes and highly recommend this addition .

Additionally our notoriously difficult 12 year old found enough acceptable and enjoyable - an added bonus.

Superb meal and service.

Fantastic birthday event!. We recently held my husband's birthday celebration at Libertine. Not living in Brisbane currently, we had hunted for a venue for a little while. Having read the positive reviews on various websites and receiving such a positive, helpful response from Libertine, the decision was made. Catering for approx 30 guests outside on the Lantern terrace, Libertine delivered a lovely evening. The food (a mix of noodle boxes and canapes) was delicious and there was a good selection of drinks. Special mention must go to Matt our waiter who was just exceptional. Not only was he courteous and helpful at all times, he kept me updated on the bar tab, timings of food and just knowing he was controlling the logistics allowed me to relax and enjoy the event. Well done Libertine!

Amazing food in a pleasant location. I've been here a few times and the food is always superb. Night-times are lovely in the garden area, which is covered so light rain isn't a bother. We usually do shared platters and I think I've tried almost everything and it's all great. Be warned it can be difficult to park on Friday and Saturday nights and if there's an event on at Suncorp.

Love Libertine. My family and I dined at Libertine last night celebrating a special birthday. Atmosphere and food were amazing as always but our experience was made even more special because of the excellent service provided by the staff. Stephen looked after our table and was not only very friendly and professional but gave great assistance in answering our menu queries. Libertine is an awesome way to celebrate any occasion and hopefully I'll get back there again soon. Recommendation: the $55 menu represents great value for money while giving an excellent flavour experience, and we all left more than satisfied with the serving sizes.

Great atmosphere and delicious food. But best of all this restaurant has some of the most friendly and pleasant staff I have ever seen. We opted for the 7 course banquet on the waiters recommendation and it was a great choice. Very well presented and flavoursome dishes which were arriving very quickly even though the place was 90% full. Highly recommended.

The highest quality food and service!. My partner and I visited last night after being told this place was excellent by a friend.
We were greeted warmly at the door and seated promptly. We were offered the "'I'm hungry" banquet and glad we decided on that which was such value for $55 each. All the dishes that came out and were equally delicious. The decor and lighting is romantic and cosy but also suitable for a family dinner.
The staff member Matt was well versed about the food ingredients and preparation. He was extremely friendly and knowledgable. An asset to this restaurant! The other staff were very attentive at plate clearing and filling our water glasses and asking if we wanted more wine. This level of service is rare and we will definitely be coming back and telling all our friends about our experience.
When we left we were told they have different banquet menus and do a sunday $20 offer - this is also rare to be invited back to a restaurant. Libertine have staff that are passionate about their jobs like they own the restaurant! Well done. We can't wait to come back for another delicious meal.

First time at Libertine and it was simply outstanding. The food was fresh & full of amazing flavours, we had the buffet for two and variety was also spot on. The waiter gave excellent service, food knowledge was obvious & catering for our gluten free requirements was easily accommodated. Will not hesitate going back with friends & have possibly found our new favourite restaurant.

Lovely service, and wonderful food. A friend and I came here the other night for dinner, and had such a lovely experience. Our waitress was wonderful, and the food was fantastic. We ordered some cocktails and a bunch of share plates, and couldn't believe how quickly they came out! Thanks guys!

LOVE Libertine. I live nearby to Libertine and I am shocked that anyone writes a bad review about the place. I absolutely LOVE it!! The decor is gorgeous, the food is always superb and the staff are awesome. I don't normally write reviews, but considering all of the bad reviews, I thought I would. If you want low quality food in high quantity no this is not your restaurant. You pay for quality, which is awesome.

You'll Need To Be Carried Out. We've been to Libertine 3 times now and hoping to get a slot for NYE. Very hard to go past the banquet - the dishes are out of the ordinary. By the time you get to the pork belly you'll understand me when I say you'll need to be carried out (very filling). Personally I recommend sitting outside, as inside can be overly 'air con'. Friendly service with a smile, and hard to fault.

Beautiful. We decided to try Libertine after discovering we had some spare time prior to watching a film. We were a bit short on time (exactly 1 hour to spare) which was unfortunate as it would have been lovely to spend a bit longer savouring the food (and so to rectify this we will be going back soon). As it was, the staff were very helpful in accommodating our time constraint and we easily made it out in good time to catch the start of the movie. The food was fantastic. We ordered the "I'm hungry" option (7 courses for $55pp) which is my favourite way to eat because I think the chef should know best. We weren't disappointed. All the dishes were excellent and flavoursome although our favourite was the sliced pork belly with a carrot puree. Divine! We felt very full afterwards (like I say ideally it would have been more leisurely) but I think the quantity and portions were just right, and it represented excellent value for money. The staff were very good - they were all very attentive and professional but didn't come across as being stuffy which was a good balance. Obviously the service was very prompt for all of this to have been executed in 60 minutes. We are looking forward to next time!

Love this Restaurant. We had lunch there yesterday. the food was "out of this world" it was very expensive but very much worth it. Very innovative dishes eg Crab (like a pate) on GF Crackers, Scallops in a lemongrass and peanut sauce Pork Belly with carrot puree, a beautiful duck plate. All shared plates. Once again my husband ordered too much, but it was worth it to try so many beautiful dishes.. Please do yourselves a favour and try this Restaurant. You will love it.
The service was brilliant. There was always a wait person filling our glasses etc. Many Gluten Free options and my daughter was not sick last night so I know it was Gluten Free. Despite the expense we will be back.

Libertine is intimate and indulgent, perfect for a dinner party or date night. Hints of French glamour line the dim-lit interior, and French-Vietnamese inspired food is aesthetic and playful. Friendly smiles and sharp attention to detail means the service at Libertine is hard to fault.

We arrived after making an online booking for an anniversary dinner at Libertine's. I had requested a table where we could sit next to each other, and we were offered a private booth which provided a private and intimate setting to our dining experience. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and were happy to talk to us about all the dishes we ordered. We ordered a range of dishes to try, and we enjoyed very single one. Each dish had a unique set of textures and flavours. The tiger prawn croissants and the pork belly were our favourites. Overall, we had a great evening at Libertine's and we'll definitely return to try more items from the menu.

What a delightful find. Went here with a group of mothers for a night out. Amazing cocktails. Delicious food. Flavours were fresh. We shared a number of dishes but there were options for various prices banquets available. The staff were attentive and informative. A really enjoyable experience. Parking is available underneath for a fee, if you book online you save quite a bit so would recommend doing this. Definitely will be returning.

Enjoyed the vegetarian lunch time banquet and would highly recommend! Well presented, generous portions and sensational flavours. Definitely come with an empty stomach! The restaurant itself is quite opulent and well maintained. Great location with plenty of nearby parking.

Went for a vegetarian banquet experience. We weren't disappointed. We had a 7 course vegetarian. Struggled to finish it by the end. But each and every dish was wonderful. The sauces, salads, crepe etc.. Everything was wonderful. Ambience is nice and romantic. Ideal for a date. The service by Kevin was wonderful from start to finish. Very professional, polite and accommodated all our requirements, legend! Loved the experience and would definitely want to do it again.

We settled for the Libertine Long Lunch which was a 4 course set menu. Regret not going off the a la carte menu. Would have wanted to try some other dishes. Loved the tiger prawn croissant. The dessert platter and the chocolate fondant was the highlight for me, which was not part of the long lunch menu.

There's a reason Libertine has been around for so long. The food and service is consistently good. I love feed me/banquet style places because I love trying lots of different foods and Libertine doesn't disappoint. I wish they'd change their menu a little more frequently though, so I return more frequently to try other food.

The perfect mix of fine dining, inviting atmosphere, and excellent portions. Fusion cuisine at its best, and the restaurant clearly knows and crafts its menu expertly. The long lunch for $39 per person is exceptional value for money-- the pickled watermelon with the pork belly is a perfect combination and a perennial favourite. The range of drinks has something for everyone and staff have excellent recommendations if you aren't sure or want to try something new. A great venue for dates, casual get togethers, family or work events, and manages to straddle the line between pleasing for gourmands and approachable for new or less adventurous palates.
