My absolute favourite restaurant in Sydney. Amazing food, top service, I take all my friends and they love it.
The staff and the owner Marc are so wonderfully attentive, enjoy the service and ensure you have a good time. There is nothing that stands out, because it's ALL so delicious. I'm the kind of person that doesn't like returning to the same place multiple times because I like to try new things, but I can't stop eating here.
Amazing! Gluten free eat your heart out... fabulous entrees , try the snails! They are delicious we also had the tartare... words cannot do it justice!
the main we had was to share and the meat was like butter it melted in our mouthes... try their cocktails we had a few and each were tasty and fresh! For dessert my favourite a creme brulee and it didn't dissapoint.. This place is hidden in plain site... must visit for french food in sydney. We loved it and will return!
We reserved a table here for my wife’s surprise birthday party for 4 and they didn’t disappoint. The dining room was bright and elegant and the staff were very welcoming and professional across the board.
The only option that evening was a set menu (with options on all courses) for $85 which consisted or an Entree, Main and Dessert (or a cocktail in replacement of the dishes).
We had spent $185 the night before at a shockingly bad dinner at The Bentley Restaurant and Claire’s kitchen was a standout in every department.
The entree of Steak Tartare came deconstructed with the elements finely positioned around the diced beef cubes. The waiter mixed them together along with the egg yolk to become a nicely balanced dish of richness and tanginess to match. It was perfect and the envy amongst other on the table. The three cheese souffle was light and rich and was the recommended dish by the waiter and the Dome of smoked salmon was perfectly accompanied by the crab and celeriac remoulade served with avocado dressing and brioche crouton.
The mains were a beef affair with Braised beef cheeks, red wine sauce; Beef tenderloin wrapped in prosciutto and Beef fillet, flambéed in cognac, with green pepper and cream sauce. All cooked to perfection in all the glory of classic French sauces that should not be understated here.
The desserts we chose the French pastry, a chocolate mousse, a crème brûlée. A perfect way to end the meal and all beautifully presented. They also wrote ‘Happy Birthday’ on the plate in French with beautiful hand writing along with a sparkler.
What must be highlighted is that although this was a fixed menu price, every dish that came was not reduced in size as other restaurants would. Each dish that arrived stood out on it’s own as if you had ordered it individually from the menu in terms of presentation and size.
The light hearted approach by staff made this French dining experience very warm and relaxed almost understating the excellent food that was made without compromise. We will definitely be back to one of the best quality and value French restaurants in Sydney.
Fantastic venue for our anniversary. Staff friendly and very attentive. Food top notch! We'll be back
We visited Claire’sKitchen at Le Salon to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The venue was busy but service was attentive. The food was very impressive. We were all pleased with the dishes we ordered. A return visit is in order.
This is by far the best restaurant in Sydney. It is the perfect fine dining experience with reasonable prices. The service is always superb. Every steak we have we compare to Claire's, which is just amazing.

There’s a collective intake of breath in the intimate dining room when everyone opens their menus. Fanning out like piano accordions, each menu’s glowing white light captures guests’ faces in a state of childlike wonder as they scratch their heads and wonder what it is they’re meant to eat. Eat the pages of the menu? It’s rather absurd, but then so is the nonsensical and satirical movement Le Salon DadA is based upon. Being familiar with Marc Kuzma’s work at El'Circo at Slide, I entered Claire’s Kitchen at Le Salon with a fair idea of what to expect...
Chocolate mousse is a must must try . Loved the ambiance of this place. One of the best places for a great dining experience. Loved the food. They offer variety of food choices , you would love to try all.
French born Marc Kuzma AKA Claire de Lune, has created a traditional French Brasserie menu with a few modern twists. Claire has decorated the venue with fabulous imported wall papers, antiques and chic furniture. Business partner, Valentin has hand picked a team of charming professional french waiters and waitresses... Upstairs is le salon, a cosy private mezzanine, you can reserve exclusively for up to 50 guests for sit down dinner or up to 80 for a cocktail party.

The invitation from Claire's Kitchen reads "Whimsical, lavish, eccentric, imaginative, join us for an evening of surrealist, fashion, theatre, food and deviant art. le SALON Dada, Liberate the IMAGINATION" with support from the City of Sydney, Claire's Kitchen is hosting a series of pop up dinners with a twist.
I love all kinds of cuisine, and French Cuisine would be amongst the top of my list. Claire’s Kitchen at Le Salon would have to be one of my favourite French Restaurants in Sydney.
Excellent food. But we were being treated. Very Large portions especially for the extra veg salad, chips, green beans. Excellent dressing on the salad. Dessert to die for. All cake based, and supper moreish. Coffee really tasty as well. Prompt serving. Easy to find as long as you get the right district

Great French restaurant close to the centre of the city. The quality of the food was consistently excellent across all courses and dishes. The serving size on some dishes, such as the lamb rack, could definitely be a little larger but overall the dining experience was great. Would highly recommend the Duck Liver Parfait and the Duck Pie. Staff were attentive and the service was all round great. I also loved the atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant, perfect for a romantic evening or an intimate dinner with family or friends.
Such a delight to walk in off the busy street and be welcomed into the calm and sumptuous space that is Claire’s kitchen.
The food is always excellent - seasoned with care and subtlety and presented tastefully. There’s a solid selection of cocktails and wines available by the glass/bottle at very reasonable prices. Staff are animated and interactive but not overbearing, and generally converse with each other in French!
Come for the food, stay for the wine and the atmosphere.
A perfect finish to our trip to Sydney.
Four of us enjoyed a perfect dinner here. Amazing service in particular by Valentin.
Very hard to pick the best dish between Lamb rack, Beef tornado and Duck pie. However to me the Duck Pie was the stand out. The bread is fresh and so very good!
Great cocktails and our Pinot Noir was delicious.
A very special experience ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
See you next time we visit Sydney
Great french restaurant with nice atmosphere and live music upstairs. Staffs were friendly and attentive, gave us a good recommendation on food which were all delicious. Duck pie was surprisingly very big in portion. Tartare was fresh, lamb rack was a bit hard to cut but it actually was very tender. Scallops as one of the entree items were especially good. Price is reasonable for french cuisine.
Found this place due to a deal on The Fork. Great find. Nice french food with cute ambience. The baguette was a touch stale and service forgot us a couple of times, so 1 star off. Tuna nicoise and rack of lamb were excellent. Good serving sizes
While Claire's kitchen isn't the best french restaurant in Sydney, I have to say I have never had a bad dish here and the staff are always really friendly.
Very friendly service. Love the beef tartare (just be minded the portion of this dish is quite big).
