This place was recommended to me some time ago by my work colleague, but aside from what he recounted to me, I can hardly find much info about the place. What kind of restaurant has no internet presence whatsoever nowadays! The answer is a quaint, cozy, quintessential provincial French restaurant. The small place is run by an old couple, Gerard’s the chef who runs the kitchen & Nanette runs the service front of house. It was Tuesday night and we were the only table there for the whole night, but that didn’t take away from the experience at all. The menu although short were all classics. We had the Onion soup & escargots for entree, I’m not normally one for onion soup, but it was rich and decadent with a hit of port. The mains are a bit pricey at around $50 per person, but it was worth it. The chateaubriand (only to be shared between 2 people) was tender and juicy, served medium rare with a rich rich Bearnaise sauce. The roast quail was also delicious, juicy and well seasoned, and big serve too. The chocolate mousse for dessert was of a darker cocoa base, but not too sweet. I really enjoyed my experience here, but it’s not somewhere you can come often, as you’ll be bored with the limited menu, and broke by the rather pricey meal.
It’s a hidden cute little restaurant. It’s been running by an old couple. We’ve been to this place twice. I like this place because it feels like we are eating meals at a cozy home. It’s a very small place so a booking is essential. I enjoy the atmosphere and the traditional food they serve.
A hidden gemAn old styled French restaurant with elderly chef and not so young waitress. Wonderful food that took some time to cook showing authenticity Highly recommended with wine by the glass.Maybe another visit tomorrow ! !
Very small place and a little run down, but the lovely staff who’ve been there for decades make up for that somewhat. Had an excellent Chateaubriand, not cheap but worth every mouthful. Their French red wine was quite nice. However the separate sides of baby roast potatoes and silverbeet gratin were fairly average. Â Unfortunately the chocolate profiteroles were far from impressive: not fresh and the creme patissiere was thick and pasty. Overall a mixed bag.. but boy that Chateaubriand was tasty!
