We have wanted to visit Bistro Guillaume for some time, but we dislike the atmosphere of the Crown Casino complex. Well, we finally did it and it was a very nice experience. Lunch during the week is $45 for 2 courses. We were served very fresh bread and butter, while deciding what to have. We had one serve of Charcuterie,... More

Last minute booking on mothers day, no problem. Busy Parisian style bistro with great food. We had the onion soup and the hald chicken which would close to being the best chicken I have evr tasted. A nice bottle of Cote du Rhone ad all was good. Well priced, efficient service - just wished we had room for dessert. More

The entree of scallops was beautiful to look at and very tasty, the pea puree was lovely and silky, not chunky as it id presented in some places. The pork belly that my husband had was disappointing, lacking flavor and the lentils not quite cooked enough. My grilled baramundi was lovely, the carrot and ginger sauce was a great accompaniment,... More

If you are with friends and want To hear their conversation, enjoy French classical bistro fare and be in the heart of Melbourne I would recommend. Nice traditional French decor, friendly, non - stuffy waitstaff and actually very reasonable prices considering the location and quality of the chefs. Menu is very user- friendly. It's not the best restaurant at crown,... More

Had dinner at Bistro Guillaume on Saturday night and was very disappointed. Service was not great, food was nothing to write home about and it was expensive. The only saving grace was a beautiful bottle of Bordeaux Red, but again, very expensive. If you are looking for a good meal, with good service and value for money, look elsewhere .. More

The restaurant was quite busy for a Monday night, so recommend you make a reservation on the busier nights of the week. Atmosphere was relaxed. Food came out fantastically quickly. The taste ranged from very good to excellent - we had four different mains. Desserts were wonderful, and depended on your palate. Service was great. Overall: Very happy. More

We were there for lunch. The food was good avarage but nothing more and definitely not one could expect from such a place and fromthe prices! Sevice sullen and tired although it was Saturday lunch. I would not recommend it. If one is in that part of Melbourne, this place is surrounded by at least half a dozen places which... More
