Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We booked a table for two at Bistrot Plume on a recent Sunday, for our 46th wedding anniversary, and it didn’t disappoint. We chose the Menu du Jour, and the food was just outstanding. We were served around six servings, at least two sides, then...dessert, all selected by Chef. Coffee and chocolates followed. French wine a bonus find. Service was prompt and professional (thanx Ruby), and we would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a top French inspired food and wine experience, or for any special occasion.More

The food is a lovely slice of France with oysters, steak tartare and terrine included in the starters, and I had the fish of the day for mains. And all were excellent. I would like to return and try more as it was hard to...choose as all looked good.More

Great food, wine and service. Small in size but big on flavour. Enjoyed the 4 course set menu with matched wines. Will be back again! Suits small bookings.

Exceptional food exceptional service. This is my favourite restaurant and the Riesling goes down a little to smoothly. Ticked snails off the bucket list, and who knew Brussel Sprouts were mouthwatering!

Dined here last week and the food and service were excellent. I haven’t been to a restaurant for a long time where the food and service were of such a high standard. Definitely will be returning.

We had lunch here last week and loved our experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our entrees and mains and shared a raspberry dessert which was the nicest dessert I’ve ever eaten! Everything was perfect and the service was unobtrusive and efficient. I’m hoping we can return...soon.More

This venue is very noisy in the back room and hard to have a decent conversation. Has always been the same in previous lives. Entree was great, main steak was nice , fries too many and dry, dessert was fantastic Service average by our waitress,...not sure would go back againMore

Stopped in one lunch time for a coffee and cake, however looked at the lunch menu and I could not resist it. First were delicious croquettes filled with cod and a wonderful dipping mayo. Followed by grilled barramundi with capers and salad. The flavours were...sensational and previously not liking capers, I am now converted. Then I couldn't say no to the delicious butter cake with blueberries and lemon icing drizzled over the top. It was a wonderful experience and will definitely return.More

What a real find - small and intimate Bistro Plume French restaurant. One of our terrific cats footballers was also there with friends and family. Food was excellent as was the French bubbles and wine.
