We have been to Vamps about 4 times now and will keep on going back. Their service is excellent! It is efficient and very friendly. The food is great - I always have trouble looking past the traditional home made pate, but they do snails and a variety of other traditional dishes and the deserts - wow! Also they are... More

This warm and friendly place reminded us of the quaint local bistros that make Paris such a delight to visit. Tony, the host, is the heart and soul of this long time bistro.

After having many breakfasts there I'm just not convinced that the interior is all that clean any more and the food smells trapped in from the night before are rather off putting. Other than that, it's OK. More

I have been to Vamps Bistro in Five Ways, Sydney, and I love this place. It is very consistent: exquisite food and great service. One feels always welcome from the moment one arrives there. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who likes good French cuisine with friendly service and great atmosphere. More
