Where Chefs Eat in Melbourne

The food was absolutely incredible, with every dish explained by the fantastic staff, who were knowledgeable, passionate and happy to answer every question we had. The views overlooking the beautiful city of Melbourne were simply stunning, but what really made the experience special was the staff. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel genuinely welcome, It wasn’t just a meal; it was a whole experience. Outstanding food, incredible views and exceptional service. An experience we won’t forget!

We chose the French Saloon to celebrate my husband’s birthday and our wedding anniversary. We shared the chicken liver parfait for starters - it was the best I’ve ever tasted, accompanied by kumquat jam. For mains I chose the French gnocchi with peas and mint, and my husband chose the steak frites. Both were excellent except that my husband found the steak quite chewy. We passed this on the our waitress who then passed it onto the chef. He was offered a different cut of steak as a substitute but declined, however, we really appreciated the offer and openness to feedback. We finished up by sharing a crème brûlée which was thoughtfully delivered with candles! A great place to try if you want something high quality and a little bit different in the CBD.

"People complain about the lines (queues) to get in! Why? The bar downstairs is a great pace to wait and the food is always generous and full of robust flavours. Great location and always open when you need it to be. Chris Lucas, the owner, looks at restaurants differently from most as he is not trained in the industry." – Shannon Bennett
