Went to this restaurant after a glowing recommendation. Service was terrible, food was cold when we got it and my friend said the sauce for the mussels tasted like "dirty dish water". We waited forever to order drinks which we had to ask for three times before we got them and ordering food was almost a matter of going to... More

We had read so much positive about the restaurant that we flew from Brisbane especially to have dinner there. Soupe a l"oignon gratinee was not outstanding but acceptable. Staff were friendly until we expressed concerns regarding the Cassolet which was totally overcooked and was dry and crumbly. No offer to replace or suggst an alternative occurred. Then when the "Pied... More

I went to this great restuarant with a group of 16 and had the private room at the back. The food was great with some really exciting flavours and choices. The service was attentive and the atmosphere very French. We were entertained (as was the whole restuarant) by a tenor who had us feeling we weer in the fount stalls... More

We went on a Thursday night which is their entertainment night. Excellent pianist Ambre Hammond and singer Brad Cooper. Every table around us was full of people speaking French so it was a very cosmopolitan atmosphere. We found the food very French and excellent. A very enjoyable experience. More

La Brasserie is a beautifully decorated restaurant in a very busy part of Sydney. Unforunately, the food and service do not match the beautiful fit out. We went on a Saturday night, having made a booking during the week. We were shown to our table and then essentially abandoned. Eventually we were able to get menus and water for the... More

we regularly go to la brasserie and can't recommend it highly enough. as the name suggests, its french brasserie/bistro food - simple but cooked perfectly. the steaks are amazing. with snails for starter and steak tartare for main, the ambient setting with french vintage posters on the walls, not to mention the very polite french waiters and waitresses, it all...

Have been before to this restaurant and been very impressed. However, last night the food and service were seriously lacking and despite the wonderful live music and pretty French waiters, I doubt I'll be back soon. More

I've walked past this Crown St brasserie literally hundreds of times on my way to and from work. I ate there for the first time in August 2011, and was very impressed. The service was excellent and attentive. The dining area is much larger than it appears from the street, and there is a semi-private dining area towards the rear... More

We dined at La Brasserie on Tuesday 31 May 2011 and it was outstanding. The food was excellent, particularly the Cheese Soufflé, French Onion Soup, Boudin Noir, and the Lamb Shank. The service was to a very high standard, and all staff made us feel extremely welcome. We were a table of four, and all agreed that this was a... More

Having google searched for French restaurants in the city who serve escargot, we were directed to la Brasserie. It was everything that we hoped for and more. From the doorway, to the music, to the menu – we were reminded of our wonderful time in Paris. The escargot was a first for my wife and I and it exceeded my... More
