Cute little place with good service. The food was enjoyable. We had the scallops, duck and steak. All were good. It got a little loud for a small place towards the end. Overall, a romantic place to come and have a good experience
Our family of 4 went for a special dinner at the end of our Melburne holiday, and the restaurant did not disappoint. Whilst not all traditional "French" food, the food was absolutely fantastic, and the service even better. My daughters have insisted we must come back next time we are in Melbourne.
This is probably my 15th visit. Perfect pre-theatre or post-work dinner or romantic and quiet date night. Big vintage poster on the wall and old Parisian decor.
Veal Schnitzel (3.25/5): Requested medium rare but came out medium done. Flavours work well in the crumb however the texture could be crispier - a bit oily.
Potato Gnocchi (5/5): The only vegetarian main - I order this every time đ
Steak Frites (4/5): Requested medium rare and cooked perfectly. Seasoned well.
Green Beans (5/5): Crunchy and sautĂ©ed to perfection. A vegetarianâs dream.
No room for it this time but I love the creme brûlée!
Celebrated my friendâs last day out before the delivery of her baby and really enjoyed the food. Service was also attentive as my friend broke a wine glass and they quickly replaced the food nearby fearing that there would be leftover shards of glass in the food. Only disappointment in this establishment is that they refused the use of Zomato Gold as we did not produce that before we were seated. Will definitely remember this for the next time I visit and see if there is any difference in service/quality of food when using Zomato Gold.
First time using Zomato Gold đ€ and it was such a good deal. Their staff was lovely and helpful as I was trying to figure how to use the 1+1 deal. Wr also ordered fries as a side dish and dessert. Medium rare scotch fillet with the truffle sauce and the lot on top was nice
If we have another chance I would like to try bouillabaisse (it seems a lighter meal and a good match to the 39-degree weather outside!) Food was filling and the bill did not break the bank. Like the jazz music and the ambience - lighting was dark and the aircon is eye catching đ
location is oh so very convenient.
Definitely a Zomato Gold or just a bistro you DONâT want to miss! đ„ł
FOOD: We went in a group of 4 and we ordered the gnocchi, duck & pea risotto, signature bisque and the steak! My absolute favourite would have to be the duck & pea risotto! I thought it was done BEAUTIFULLY and was so full of wonderful flavours and also a generous portion! The steak was also excellent and there was no sauce but it clearly didnât need it because it was cooked to perfection and went so well as it was! The gnocchi was also really delicious and generous with the portion and great for a vegetarian option! The bisque is great for seafood lovers and people going for something lighter but still want to be filled up because it was LOADED with seafood!
Bistro DâOrsay definitely do not skimp when it comes to quality OR quantity! The menu is simple but everything is done with so much skill and perfection. Definitely one of the best restaurants Iâve tried in the WHOLE of Melbourne!
The duck meat fell off the bone, it was juicy and well presented. Scotch fillet and wine for the boyfriend. The food was phenomenal. Could not say no to Pear Tatin for dessert. We arrived 15 minutes early and 5 minutes later, the show next door finished and the theatre crowd filled the bistro. It was an interesting sight to see. Overall the atmosphere was warm, lively and charming. The service was very good. We will be back to try the other food on the menu, perhaps for the Coq Au Vin, which I can only imagine will be as good as my experience with the Confit Duck Leg. Will return for another date night. -Review by Maryane
Ordered đ„©: scallop and prawn St Jacques, bouillabaisse, scotch fillet steak and lamb shoulder.
LIT đ„!: Bouillabaisse soup was delicious, warm and comforting.
However I enjoyed the St Jacques even more. That sauce is omg. It doesnât come with bread but you can ask for it on the side and mop up that creamy goodness.
I loved the perfectly medium rare scotch fillet. It almost melts in your mouth with a decent amount of truffle oil and Parmesan.
NOT SO LIT đ: the lamb shoulder. I thought it was going to knock socks off considering that itâs highlighted in the menu. The lamb looked incredible on the plate and putting my spoon through it, it just crumbled. However it wasnât consistently cooked through and we got some really dry bits, and the dish as a whole wasnât flavoursome as I felt the salsa verde was a bit stingy in portion.
But overall a great restaurant. Will come back to try more dishes! X
Found this little gem through Zomato Gold and what a great discovery. Nestled amongst the Paris end of Collins St is the dim lit little French restaurant. Tables are quite squeezy but the atmosphere is cosy and romantic. I absolutely loved the painted ceilings. We ordered the pate, scallops, steak, st jacques and creme brĂ»lĂ©e. The pate was super creamy although I wasnât a fan of the flavor. The scallops were cooked to perfection as was the steak. We ordered the scotch fillet which was very tender and juicy. The st Jacques which is kind of like a baked creamy garlic seafood remedy of prawns and scallops was amazing although a little salty for my liking. Finished off with a deliciously creamy creme brulee with a slightly burnt top to balance the sweetness with the bitterness. Service was also fantastic. Will definitely be back!

My friend and I visited this place for a nice steak lunch and as we entered the service was impeccable! We got the scotch fillet and the roasted lamb. Both utterly delicious! The cook was perfect on the steak and the red wine sauce with lentils was to die which came with the roasted lamb! Decent portion size. Slightly pricey for what you get but the food is delicious!
Wow what can I say? It was perfect from start to finish. From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted immediately and brought to our table. The manager put us by the window as I mentioned it was my partner birthday, a very nice touch!
The menu options gave you the sense of being in France and not Melbourne, the food with authentic and of a very high quality and presentation. Our waiter was fantastic, always topping our glasses and offering drinks.
Our entrees came almost immediately and were of a large volume which was a pleasant surprise. I had the gnocchi and my partner the barramundi, both were excellent. If you want to experience French cuisine in Melbourne, this is the place to go.
This is my second visit. Absolutely love this little French bistro. Cozy, friendly and funny staff.
Food is delicious!! The soup is something to die for!
Every time I come here I am impressed - we came to have dinner before the show and the food was off the charts delicious. Service was great and the atmosphere and the overall experience was fun and really a worthwhile evening of fun and great food
Whether youâre a discerning Frenchman or a bogan les named Joan look no further than this nifty little establishment to get your snail fix. Unfortunately they werenât serving any snails today but you can blame covid for that, or Putin or women with balls itâs one of those. So I went for the coq au vin which I must say was delicious, even through the serving sizes were smaller than Glanus Berejiklians career prospects but thatâs what you get when you go somewhere a bit fancy. The gnocchi I tasted was delicious and softer than a cloud. The place was busy yet the service was expedient, attentive and polite. We had a great time and would like to come back one day for a tasty snail and a wheel of cheese.
Old school French restaurant. Lovely delicious food, though perhaps a tad pricey. Perfect place to bring the parents, or to feel fancy, before a night at the theatre.
The food and service was exceptional! The waiting staff was very attentive and friendly. The food was amazing and the Creme Brulee was literally to die for. Only issue would be the lack of street parking, but this is an issue for most city restaurants! Either way, this place is amazing and I can't wait to go again to try the white chocolate parfait đ!
Incredible food, absolutely loved it! The goats cheese soufflé is absolutely divine, as is the prawns and scallops St Jacques, the gin & dill cured Atlantic salmon, calamari and creme brûlée.
Favourite restaurant in Melbourne so far â€ïž
