What a place ! What a place ! If you ever visit here, ask for Chef Lakshay's Chocolate Soufflè. Trust me you won't stop at one.
Spent my birthday here today and the food & service where exceptional great restaurant for any occasion 🌟
Entrees were amazing, charcuterie and escargots were faultless. Mains were a tad over salted, the MS4+ steak flavour was perfectly cooked, béarnaise sauce I’ll give it a miss, boring and extremely thick wouldn’t recommend. I’d return for a snack, but the mains aren’t that special.
My favourite French restaurant in Melbourne. I have been there several times and never disappoints. Fantastic wine list and menu. Waiters are very attentive, meals come out in good times. My wife just loves the chocolate soufflé. My favourite is the French onion. It’s very moorish and quite a generous serve. If you didn’t know you were in Melbourne you would swear you are in Paris. Prices are reasonable and I always find a parking spot, even though it’s a busy road. Highly recommend this restaurant.
This was our first time coming here. The place was packed and lively. I love the ambience. The waiters was superb. The food, i just can’t describe how good it was. Love the escargot and the french onion soup!

**UPDATE** Best French in Melbourne and one of best restaurants in Melbourne, and with one of the most reasonably priced wine lists. Profiteroles and Chocolate Soufflé are sensational; if going as 2, order both; don’t be afraid to try unusual items, e.g cervella - lambs brains or a special item rabbit ballotine; great texture, flavours, quality eating. Order 2015 Voyager Estate Art Series Can Sauv, it will treat you well..
Each time I’ve gone I’ve always left impressed. The freshly shucked oysters are always fresh and flavoursome, calamari likewise is fresh, not crumbed to death and cooked well. The escargot dish hits the spot, and the sauce is great to lap up with fresh bread. I personally recommend selecting a main from the specials list. The rib eye was just to die for, perfectly cooked, generously sized; the pommes frittes are yummy, and don’t forget the tagine of vegetables. The barramundi also is fresh and worth ordering if you want a piece of fish. The desserts are just sensational - not sure why this place doesn’t have a chefs hat; it’s vastly superior to many restaurants that bizarrely do. Making you think the whole process is open to questioning.
If you are looking to celebrate an occasion with some exquisite fine French cuisine, Bistro Thierry should be at the top of your shortlist. It was completely packed out on a Friday at lunchtime, so I was glad I made a booking.
The freshly made bread whetted my appetite complementing the garlic and parsley escargot and French onion soup entrees. The porterhouse steak and grilled rockling were beautifully prepared with a generous side of shoe string fries.
The mouth watering desserts capped off an indulgent meal. We certainly had no regrets choosing the tarte tatin and crepes suzette. All washed down with some sparkling champagne and a glass of red. Really can't complain!
The perfect place for an anniversary dinner. Their service was impeccable, the food was delicious and the ambience was lovely. We will definitely return!

Consumed:
Lamb shoulder - two bricks of shoulder meat. A little dry in a couple of spots, but pretty tasty. It came with some dollops of goats curd (which I don't think added much to the meal), a couple of roasted onions (with the outer, inedible skin included, which I thought was odd) and a tomato relish (which was tasty, but didn't really fit with the rest of the dish to my mind).
Eye Fillet - medium. Tasty piece of meat with a nice charred flavour to it. Maybe a little redder than one usually expects for medium steak ( I assume cooked sous vide and then charred). The fries it came with are standard thin-cut chips and not particularly interesting.
Cauliflower Gratin - as expected. Very saucy and served in a small pot that had been individually baked.
I did have an overarching problem with the mains in that none of them were very hot. Even the cauliflower gratin was only warm when it reached our table.Â
Dessert:Creme Brulee - pretty much as one would expect. An acceptable example.Chocolate Souffle - A pretty nice rendition. When it is served, the wait-staff pour chocolate sauce into the middle of it. By the time I got to the bottom of it there was some liquid sitting on the bottom of the ramekin. It's all pretty nice though with some good crustiness around the outside of the head.
Staff were friendly and appropriately attentive. Even with a full room it wasn't too noisy.No gluten-free bread option was available, but the bread provided (in a generous quantity) was pretty good.
Hands down the French restaurant in Melbourne.
I love the food and the setting here.. I always feel like I’m back in Paris the moment I step foot in the door.
Had dinner here for a birthday celebration and we had the most fantastic time. The service was impeccable which made the whole night more enjoyable. We really loved the food, especially the desserts. Will definitely be back again!
Great atmosphere and staff were extremely friendly and engaging which made dinner really enjoyable. The food was exceptional from entree to dessert. Will most definitely come back here many more times.
Had an amazing night here. Delicious food and friend service. Decor on the walls adds a beautiful vibe. Escargots is a must try, definitely my personal favorite. Only thing is better not drive to there cus their wine is too good to be refused.
We must’ve made a good impression when we arrived without a booking as the waiters were pretty nice and found us a table. The food was good especially the spinach and the soufflé. The only negative is that we were charged for bread that we didn’t order.
Love it! The foie gras is amazing. Every time a must try.
The crepes are great. Not too sweet, and the orange sauce was so good and balanced.
Despite the traditional French culinary commitment to animal cruelty, Bistro Thierry put on an exceptional vegan spread.
I commend front of house on an authentic atmosphere which left me emotionally immersed as both a part of the Bistro family and a vague inconvenience due to dietary requirements.
The food provided an array of sensory delights for the plant-based aficionado, well worthy of their premium.
An exceptional dining experience. As they say in France; "Bellissimo!"

Dined here during lunch and had the following:
- French onion soup with a large piece of crouton topped with melted gruyère; tasty but would have preferred the cheese to be melted into the soup blending in with the onions when served
- Eye fillet steak was very tender and had a nice chargrill taste, not evenly cooked with one end slightly below medium rare but was still ok; better than overcooked steak. The concentrated mushroom sauce packed a lot of flavour and paired well with the steak; and the fries were lightly salted and crispy
- Chocolate soufflé; when served the staff performed a little show by pouring the hot chocolate sauce into the soufflé; amazing to see how the soufflé rises as it was being filled. Soufflé was fluffy and inside it was soaked with the creamy rich chocolate sauce; tasted of high quality milk chocolate which was very delicious.
Overall a great meal with friendly service; the French onion soup and the steak could be even better with a little fine tuning but they were still tasty. Highlight was the chocolate soufflé, probably my favourite soufflé.
