Perhaps my expectations were too high - my rabbit stew was good however my 3 other guests' meals were rather ordinary. When they requested their steaks be returned to the kitchen to be cooked a little longer, the waiter clearly did not take them seriously, he scoffed, walked away and did not return to our table again.

Great local family restaurant. We were lucky to get a table. The duck rillet started our meal, delicious, moist, nuanced herbal notes. The wine list is a large tome. The waiters suggestion was excellent. My husband ordered the rabbit which was soft, melt in the mouth and had extraordinary meaty flavors, the mustard tones were subtle. i ordered the veal...

On a recent trip to Melbourne my wife wanted to finally dine at France Soir’s, after being told by a good friend that it was very special.

Want to experience Paris without the airfare? Then France Soir has it all including French waiters busy and crowded atmosphere . A wine list as big as an encyclopaedia. Make sure you book as it is always busy.

But...

On a girls trip to Melbourne I took my 8 year old daughter to France Soir for dinner. She adored the roast chicken - saying it was better than those she had eaten in Paris or at Thomas Keller's Bouchon earlier this year. The staff were delightful, asking Claire feel special and calling her by name. The pommes frites were...

The food was lovely. It was really busy and we had to wait for about 45 minutes, even though we had pre-booked.

France-Soir is a Melbourne institution. In many ways it is better than what we have experienced in Paris. We love it.
