Absolutely incredible experience, from the minute me and my daughter walked through the door we were 100% looked after with to die for food and wonderful service. Our meals were cooked to absolute perfection and were a complete taste sensation! We also enjoyed an amazing entree and unbeatable wine. A+ to the French brasserie! We will be back. More

A group of friends enjoy regular lunches in the city, and every now and then a restaurant stands out from others at which we have eaten! Yesterday four of us had a lovely day at The French Brasserie. Although we were not in a hurry, we ordered from the Express Menu ($35 for two courses and a glass of wine,... More

Had walked past this on a couple of occasions and decided that we would make time to go as we knew we would need time to do it justice. Food was delicious, and savoured every mouthful. We were recommended a pinot which we had been looking to try for a while, as had been recommended by Jeremy Oliver - Lovely... More

We were aiming to eat at Cumulus at little further up Flinders Lane when we noticed a sign for a fixed price lunch - $35 for two courses including a glass of wine. We were offered the full menu when we were seated and had to ask for the Express one. As an earlier reviewer said, the food was very... More

My wife and I had lunch at The French Brasserie, and we were so impressed by our experience that we returned that evening with a colleague for dinner. The food was authentic French (and the waitstaff, manager and owner all spoke French - for those of us who elected to do so), and the service was friendly, attentive and accommodating.... More

We booked the French Brasserie following a google search of French Restaurants in Melbourne. We chose the restaurant as a place to celebrate my partners birthday and it did not disappoint. The restaurant itself is reasonably relaxed, this was good because French restaurants can be so stuffy! The staff were very friendly and seemed to be enjoying their jobs, they... More

A friend and I stopped here for an early dinner before attending an evening tennis match and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The wait staff was friendly and attentive and was able to provide timely service without giving us any feeling of being rushed. According to our server, the chef is from Marseille and most of the staff is french. We... More
