Tucked away above the vibrant red brick of Hardware Lane in Melbourne's CBD, you'll discover French Saloon, an elevated casual dining experience that channels the spirit of a classic French bistro using local and seasonal ingredients. Open for lunch and dinner, ascend the narrow stairs and find yourself in a New York-style loft, bathed in natural light from large windows overlooking the bustling street below.This confident yet casual French bistro is the brainchild of veteran restaurateurs Joshua Brisbane, Con Christopoulos (renowned for The European, Siglo, and Melbourne Supper Club) and prolific chef Ian Curley and executive chef Luke Fraser. The thoughtful wine list is naturally French-focused but with plenty of special local and domestic surprises too.French Saloon's recent collaboration with the renowned London restaurant St John during the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival has further cemented its place as a noteworthy destination in Melbourne's dynamic culinary scene.

    Great engaged service from the FOH team. Everything we ate was delicious. We couldn’t decide so elected for the chefs recommendations and ate more of a variety of foods than we would have if we had ordered ourselves. Was recommended this place by a colleague and now happy to recommend it to others.

    The environment is very elegant, and there aren't many people, so it's not crowded. Because it was a bit cold today, even though there were no customers in the store at that time, the heating was still turned on in advance. The dishes are very delicious. I think this is the best steak I've ever had in Melbourne. Finally, I would like to say that the service here is very good. I especially want to thank the staff today, which made this anniversary even more complete.
