This is a beautiful restaurant in South Hobart - 5 minutes from the city. The small intimate restaurant is run by a married couple the husband a French chef and front of house by his friendly and welcoming Australian wife. The walls are beautifully hand-painted by Peter Gouldthorpe, the childrens' picture book illustrator and artist, who is also a family... More

You will love the tromp l'oeil in this charming restaurant. The food's good too! The name says it all. There's a limited menu but everything is reliable. More

I don't like being too negative - but -- in a pricey restaurant you shouldn't get instant bake "bread rolls" -- you know those styrofoam thingies from Woolies. And as for the chips - dare I say french fries ( yes my name is pommes frites) they were decidedly of the factory made variety which come frozen in a big... More

We went here to celebrate a family occasion with a party of six. We sampled all the entrees, and voted the quail and the gnocchi outstanding, with the terrine running close behind. The mains were wonderful - the steak and Bearnaise sauce the star. We loved the leisurely pace, and felt we were in Paris surrounded by the wonderful murals,... More

This little family run restaurant is only just out of town and is worth the effort to locate. The food transports you back to provincial France and is luxurious. I had the chicken gnocchi in a creamy tarragon sauce for entree with Tony having quail with grapes. The gnocchi was so light it was a pillowy transport for a burst... More

Went to Hobart to celebrate a family birthday and was taken to this charming restaurant. A small yet delicious menu, with a wonderful hostess (unfortunately I drank too much and can't remember her name). Her husband runs the kitchen, which my local friends thought was a touch slow, but I thought was reasonable and well paced timing. Good fresh food... More

This restaurant is a gem. The ambience is a typical french restaurant, with wonderful lifelike murals on the walls , quiet,friendly and efficient service and the wonderful food produced by the chef, aah the wonderful food. We were only in Hobart for a few days but simply had to go back again before we left because we enjoyed the whole... More
