According to my authoritative linguistic source (Google Translate), LAuberge means restaurant, and this venue is undeniably so. But it is a special one, as it resides in a charming refitted former church, of magnificent early 20th century architectural design. Entry is via the churchs vestibule and the interior features lots or timber fittings, exposed beams, and arched windows, and the large dining space includes a mezzanine level. The dcor incorporates an abundance of ephemera, blending church relics with French flavour. Decorations include miniature Eiffel towers, coloured bottles, candles, antique wooden chests of drawers, and an old set of bellows beside an inviting open fireplace. The table settings utilise some old pews, as well as colonial style timber chairs, and small French flags sit proudly on each table. On my visit, some pleasant folksy music played quietly in the background. The menu, of course, focuses on French cuisine, but with plenty of choice, from pastries, to a range of tarts, and some well-known French standards. The menu included sufficient vegetarian choices, and I opted for the onion tart which came with a salad and relish and was attractively presented and very tasty. The coffee was very good, well extracted, and served at a good temperature. The serving staff are attired in smart black uniforms, and they were welcoming and attentive. This establishment speaks class from the moment one steps in, so when you next visit Lilydale, I would recommend you visit the French end of the township.
