LOVED that we got a really nice phone call to confirm our booking. The waitress was so lovely and the food delicious. The ambience is so beautiful in the courtyard with the fairy lights. It was wonderful value for all the food and wine. Highly recommend.
The food is excellent at Libertine. Love this place.
My only complaint was the waitress who said “ youse” instead of you many times!!!! We all noticed it
Amazing service. Amazing food. Lovely decor as well.
Libertine has been a favourite for many years. Spur of the moment, special occasion, no reason at all, they are all easily accommodated by the staff and food styles. Yet to have a bad experience. If you're looking for a lovely meal, give Libertine a go. You won't be disappointed.
Hi Robert! Thank you for your kind words - it was our pleasure to have you dining with us. Until the next time! Merci!
One of the best meals I’ve experienced over the past 12 months. Loved it all. Highly recommend.

Thank you for your glowing feedback Grace! We looking forward having you with us very soon. Merci!
We were there for the New Years Eve sitting. It was the first time we had been there and loved the atmosphere. The service was excellent and we couldn’t fault any part of the menu. We would thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone that’s looking for something special.
Hi Ron! Thank you for joining us for the NYE banquet and for your kind words. Hopefully we will be seeing more of you in 2021. Merci!
A lovely NYE however some food was cold and the noise levels were off the scale. Nonetheless the outstanding staff made the evening very enjoyable. Inside is due for an upgrade and a bit of noise mitigation paneling.
Hi David! Thank you for your honest feedback - it's been much appreciated. I am just bit saddened to read that some of the food wasn't hot enough and the issue was not raised on the day. We look forward having you back though and hopefully that time round we can rectify ourselves on the aspects that weren't so spot on. Until the next time! Merci!
What a night. The food is fantastic. The staff are faultless. Perfect way to see the new year in.
Hi Michael! Thank you for your glowing feedback - it is much appreciated and we loved having you all with us. Until the next time! Merci!
There was another table situated way too close to us. Backs of chairs were touching. Certainly not 1.5m distance. Plus the people at the other table kept spreading out while giving the younger people at our table death stares. But the people aren’t your fault. But the tables were too close. Thxxx
Hi Simba! Thank you for your honest feedback. The matter has been looked into and we have remeasured our 1.5m distances from the tables. Until the next time! Merci.
Amazing food, a must go for all food lovers..............
Merci Cherie!
Food was incredible! Such a variety, different foods but easy enough to find something we all liked. The service was great, very friendly staff that offered suggestions when asked and created personalised service. The ambience was great, a bit of background noise as to be expected near a road but could easily hear the others at my table, and couldn’t overhear anyone else’s conversations. Would definitely return!
Hi Lindsey! Firstly, thank you for joining us for dinner - we loved having you with us. Secondly, your glowing feedback has been much appreciated. We look forward to the next time. Merci!
Loved our experience here, the food and drinks were lovely and perfect portions too. Their zucchini chips are incredible! Would definitely go back with friends and family.
Hi Divya! Thank you for your kind words - they been much appreciated. Look forward seeing more of you next time. Merci!
After reading other online reviews of this restaurant and looking at the interesting description of the dishes, I was excited about trying this place. The decor was appropriate for the French-Vietnamese fusion theme. The kids meals were well above average and not the standard fare of fish and chips, spaghetti bolognase etc. However, the adult set menu was most disappointing. The prawn croissant was a highlight, but the spring rolls were only okay. The remaining dishes appeared to be a confusion, rather than fusion of Vietnamese and French cuisine. The crispy pork belly was dry. The Camembert cheese, truffle, chicken and vegetable dish was terrible. It tasted like a poorly executed Asian stir fry with cursory additions of truffle and cheese which clashed with the Asian flavours. We would not recommend this restaurant.
Hi Foodie, we appreciate your honest feedback. Just bit saddened, that we couldn't rectify this right there and then. If you're keen to gives us another chance, please do reach out to me directly merri@libertine.net.au and I will make sure you'd have the flawless time and true Libertine-experience all the way. Merci!
An amazing Xmas degustation with elements of its “usual” set menu.
Merci for your kind words! Hope to see for another feast very soon.
Beautiful food, decor & service. Xmas lunch was amazing especially the pork with peaches & apple (only minor issue was getting a teaspoon instead of a dessert spoon).
Hi Leonie! We had a blast having you with us on Christmas Day, even though we lost one from your group. My apologies for the spoon - just wanted you to enjoy the dessert bit longer. Until next time. Merci!
Sensational! All of it from the greeting at the door through to food, so much... very generous proportions.
Staff were attentive and lovely!
Full house of diners too.
Very festive atmosphere.
My family loved it.
Thank you
Hi Nicola, Thank you and your family joining us for Christmas Day Lunch - we enjoyed having you around. We are hoping to see you soon though, and if not earlier, then definitely Christmas 2021! Merci!
We went for Christmas lunch at this restaurant and it was amazing! The food was just beautiful, and the experience really made our Christmas day. Thank you so much.
Hi Georgina! Thank you for joining us for Christmas Day Lunch - we all had a blast and enjoyed the vibes, but most importantly I am glad to see that you were pleased spending it with us. We look forward having you with us for the next occasion. Merci!
First time going to this beautiful restaurant and it didn't disappoint. It was spot on! from the atmosphere to the service and food. A real treasure and we will certainly be back! Well Done.
HI Tracey! Thank you for joining us for Christmas Day celebrations. And sounds like you enjoyed the day as much as we did! Until the next time, next year! Merci!
Loved this dining experience, my girlfriends and I were impressed with the quality of the food and the service was prompt and professional.
Hi Tash! Thank you for your kind words! We loved having you and your girlfriends with us and I hope we can see all very soon for some more quality food and good times. Merci!
My partner and I ordered the 10 course banquet, all 10 courses were pushed out in 20min. I was horrified I sent the main pork dish back it was so dry you could barely swallow it, the cabbage it was served on was disgusting and we did not eat it.
Hi Jackii, my aplogies for the rushed 10-course - that is not how it supposed to be. I have briefed all my staff regards the issue. And we would love to have you with us next time to provide you the true Libertine-service. Please don't hesitate to reach out merri@libertine.net.au and I'll make sure it will be flawless next time. Merci!
wayyyy too crowded and loud for us.. if you're after a quiet night out make sure you ask for a seat away from the masses!
Hi Fiona! I appreciate your honest feedback, unfortunately it can get little noisy during the festive period. Next time we would be pleased to find you plan B, so you'd enjoy yourselves more. Merci!
Every dish was amazing and the service was excellent. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words! Until the next time. Merci!
We had our work Christmas party and Libertine were incredibly accommodating to our group's needs. The food and drinks were delicious, the service was fantastic and the overall experience was so positive.
The Christmas in Vietnam dinner was absolutely fantastic especially with with a wonderful Provincial Rose
Great food with a difference. Second time there and looking forward to going again. Thoroughly recommend for a special experience.
Fresh, delicious, highly recommend banquet for sheer variety. Great staff. Lovely heritage setting.
I went with some friends this Saturday night. Unfortunately the service was really disappointing. We arrived and we’re not able to sit at our seats for 15 mins. We then were ignored by all wait staff for another 15-20 mins. We had to pull someone aside to ask for menus and water. Our drinks were not correct. When we asked for wine recommendations the wait staff said he would be right back but then never returned. The next waiter we asked was not familiar with the wine list which was disappointing given the bottles were not cheep. When food was delivered it was not introduced or explained to us. We had to look at other tables to work things out for ourselves. In particular a dish which required you to put a spring roll inside a lettuce leaf and poor sauce over it.
Food was amazing but unfortunately the poor service really let our night down.
Nicholas was a very polite and knowledgeable server. Fabulous
Very nice atmosphere and food was excellent
Great place for a vegetarian
This venue never ceases to amaze me. We were there to experience the French Christmas Dinner menu and it was fantastic! Generous portions and good wine recommendations. Service is always warm and friendly. Highly recommended for all occasions!
Amazing food and the staff very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Big family group with young kids made it quite noisy at first, however when they left it was more pleasant, staff not overly friendly but did there job well, best thing about the place was the food. Also mood lighting not a really great lit place.
Staff were excellent and understanding that our cinema booking ran over! Only feedback would be that the font on the menus is very small and given the darkness a little hard to read. I liked the kids menu option and good gluten free options.
The ambiance inside the restaurant is lovely with a definite French feel. The service is friendly, efficient and very professional. As December is rather hot we decided to eat inside rather than the courtyard. The restaurant was very busy on this Saturday evening and the noise level was high and this was annoying. They also don’t have a coffee machine which was disappointing. I will certainly return but in the cooler months and utilise the courtyard as I have on a previous occasion.
I’ve been twice to Libertine and on both occasions we had a banquet. Really think this is the best option as you get to try most of the menu dishes. Great music, great service and great food, which makes fir a great night! Oh, we loved the cocktails!!!
