One lunch at the street table is probably not enough to estimate the level and quality of this restaurant. However, the dishes we ordered were ok, but it took too much time to get the food and later the bill.

Booked for a Saturday night dinner to try somewhere new which is always risky. The location is right in the middle of the theatres and often great location equates to poor quality. Couldn't have been more pleased however. Small and noisy but still intimate. Specials go early it appears however we were there at 7pm and theatre and Comedy Festival... More

We were aprehensive about eating here, given its close proximatey to the Theatres we thought it might be one of those touristy type restaurants which fails to deliver...we couldn't be more wrong. Food was absolutely fantastic, I would highly recommend the duck. Staff were friendly, extremely professional and provided excellent service through-out. This is definately my new favourite restaurant in... More

I found this eatery several years when I stayed at Oaks on Collins: it's next door. Since then, each time I visit Melbourne, I go at least once. I arrange to meet friends there and all have commented favourably - well, more than just favourably. I can be assured that the food served will meet expectations - whether for a... More

Bistrot D'Orsay has been a favorite for years, the food is old fashioned European while never staid, the menu always has more for my eyes than my belly can accommodate. In the heart of Collins Street entertainment and establishment, it can be great for a quick top quailty pre show plate, or a long relaxed sumptious meal. In fact we... More

My partner and myself went here for the 1st time tonight although I pass here every day; It won't be my last time. The service was exceptional +++ which is as rare as hen's teeth in Australia. The food (we both had Bouillabaisse) was as good as anything I've had in France. The desserts (5 to choose from) are amazing... More

Beautiful French bistro, right across from the Regent Theatre so great for quick meal before hand.   Food is great so its worthy of a nice long dinner too.

I am big fan of the trip advisor and rely on this website for places to stay or eat and I must say this can be spot on, but not always... Well, when I entered the door at Bistro d'Orsay, the waitress was not smiling at all. I felt quite unconfortable. I booked a table the day before and was... More
