  • The signature French onion soufflé gratin

    The venue's legendary savoury French onion soufflé arrives airy and delicate, floating dramatically over a decadent pool of rich cheese sauce.

    The soufflé was a delight, light and fluffy, and a bit of entertainment as it wobbles on a sea of cheese sauce.

  • Razor-sharp French bistro repertoire

    Traditional French bistro favourites like sirloin with Café de Paris butter, steak frites, and feather-light dessert soufflés are treated with absolute technical precision.

  • A structured two-course lunch offering

    A dedicated two-course offering gives daytime and early diners an approachable way to experience the restaurant's signature cooking and polished service.

    We had the $65.00 two course offering which we loved. Staff are so professional but unobtrusive.

  • Warm ambiance engineered for conversation

    From the airy main room with gentle acoustics to the intimate terrace, the space is tailored for effortless conversation without noise or distractions.

    The restaurant ambiance was warm and inviting, with soft lighting, we were seated comfortably on the side without any noise and distractions.

  • French Onion Soufflé Gratin

    The onion souffle is something dreams are made of, full of flavor and such a wonderful marriage of taste and texture I wanted more.

  • Black Forest Bombe Alaska

    I was pleasantly surprised by the Black Forest Bombe Alaska. I’ve had a few Bombe Alaskas in my life but this one had a well balanced taste in every bite - like a delicious Weiss bar but better.

  • Passionfruit Soufflé

    To finish we shared the passionfruit soufflé - as light as air with just the right sharpness from the fruit.

  • Charlie Chaplin Martini

    The star of the show was Charlie Chaplin martini and their martini selection in general.

    The Pear Tarte Tatin was also incredible, and the perfect finish to the evening.

Before you head over

Essential planning advice to ensure a seamless visit, from parking to menu pacing. Reserve your table to experience this timeless Woollahra fixture.

  • Plan Ahead for Woollahra Parking

    Street parking around Queen Street can be tight and competitive during peak hours. Allow extra travel time before your reservation to locate timed or unrestricted spots along nearby side streets.

  • Pace Yourself for Generous Portions

    Classic dishes and desserts are unapologetically rich and served in substantial portions. Consider pacing your order or sharing starters like the French onion soufflé gratin and larger desserts to leave room for every course.

  • Opt for the Two-Course Lunch and Early Dining

    For an accessible way to experience signature staples like the steak frites and soufflés without committing to full à la carte dining, visit during daytime or early evening services for the $65 two-course menu.
