A beautiful lunch with lovely atmosphere excellent service and magnificent food . The Pate and musse and duck were superb snd the desert offerings were extensive and difficult to choose from! A thoroughly enjoyable experience which was equal to our experience before covid!

We live in Canberra and have been trying to book dinner for a while however accommodation is limited in the area but we managed to book a room at The Lake George Hotel (see review under restaurants as there is no listing for the hotel's...accommodation in the hotel category). Le Tres Bon is a charming timber home with atmosphere oozing from every corner and the standard is consistently high and has never disappointed us. It is not BYO however if in doubt, consult with the staff and they are amenable to a small taste before committing to a bottle. After much talk we decided on the Hermitage (at $90/bottle) and it was lovely. The cost is $75pp which includes three meals and a glass of bubbly to start. I don't think you can go wrong, but for those who are interested for entree we had French Onion soup (husband loved it but did say it needed salt and once added, said it was great), I chose pork and duck rillettes with baguette - fantastic but there was no dressing at all on the side salad and for my tastes it would have been so much better with dare I say, a French vinaigrette, or any dressing at all. Mains were the flank steak with french fries and a fabulous dark, forbidding looking sauce that was packed with flavour. The fries were absolutely fantastic, dipped in a bit of that sauce - it's what the French do so well - flavour, flavour and flavour. I chose the confit of duck leg with potatoes dauphinoise and orange sauce, it was moist and delicious. We both had Crepes Suzette and the sauce was absolutely divine, packed with butter, Grand Marnier and everything that embodies the proud French traditions of fine dining. It didn't have ice cream or cream and was superb alone. We would have stayed for coffee but for the speaker our table was located next to - playing traditional French ballads but with the strident sounds of an accordion, only good for a song or two. Perhaps piano music would be more soothing and relaxing if playing continuously. Christophe the chef came by and had a chat and his lovely daughter, Catherine had attended to us earlier - a wonderful family with high standards that continually deliver.More

Attended with my son 10 October to experience how to make Ratatouille croquette. Warmly welcomed with coffee before the class by Christophe and his wife Josephine. There were 8 people in the group working on two stations. Chef Christophe explained with passion and humour the...French origins of the dish, how the rice that forms the basis for the dish is cooked and then demonstrated how to prepare the ratatouille filling and assemble the croquettes which we then successfully did under his watchful eye with the added incentive of a glass of French champagne. Christophe then deep fried our croquettes which we enjoyed for lunch with a glass of French red wine. Dessert was a delightful rum baba with licorice ice cream. The experience with Christophe and Josephine was cheerful, very friendly and extremely well demonstrated . COVID requirements were met re permitted number of attendees, checking in, and the use of hand sanitisers and gloves during the preparation process. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and I am keen to attend future classes.More

We read a good review in the SMH about Le Tres Bon, and booked a farm stay holiday just so we could dine there. So it is an understatement to say we were disappointed when our dessert was delivered 49 minutes after we sat down....Let me tell the story. The Saturday night menu is a 3-courses for $80 with a champagne cocktail to start. I never eat dessert, so I didn't really want it, but what the hell, I'll settle in and enjoy myself. The waiter suggested some interesting wine to match each of the courses, a bit pricey at about $18 a glass, but what the hell, I'll settle in and enjoy myself. So when the lukewarm soup arrived about a minute after the champagne cocktail, with no sign of the matched wine, I was a little bit miffed. We thought it might have just been an aberration, after all it is soup, (it was probably just sitting in a big pot), but no, our generosity was misplaced. I tried to enjoy my champagne cocktail while my soup went cold, just like I tried to enjoy my entree wine when the main turned up with no sign of the main meal wine. By this point we'd figured out what was going on, and decided to tell the waiter to hold off the desert for a while, but of course, the dessert appeared before the waiter (well, with the waiter obviously). Now I have to say the wine was excellent, and my dessert was excellent. The venue is cute and the town is great. My review should not stop anyone going there, just make sure you tell them you want to take your time, and hopefully, you'll get the dining experience I missed out on.More

Thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful mid-week ladies lunch. Chef Christophe is a French master and every dish was perfectly presented with a taste to match. The service was friendly and attentive and we were welcomed like family by Josephine and Christophe. They are proud of their...French heritage and we can see why this restaurant is very popular. Eating here is an experience in French deliciousness.More

Fantastic French food & wine. Chef Christophe prepares the perfect dinner complemented by great service from his staff. This is an exceptional experience for anyone who enjoys good food accompanied by good wine.

Four of us ate here on a Friday night. The service was friendly and personal, attentive without being imposing. We spoke to the Chef/Owner at the end of the night and he was amusing and interesting. Large tasty portions.
