About L'Amuse Bouche

Surry Hills hosts a slice of home-style France where the owner works the floor while his mother cooks regional classics in the kitchen. French expats settle in for the saveurs du pays—tables crowded with warm baguettes, rich boeuf bourguignon, and bubbling wheels of raclette scraped over potatoes and cured charcuterie. Diners often trade wine stories over a shared bottle before winding down with a splash of pear eau-de-vie or chilled Chartreuse.

  • Family-Run French Cooking: Owner Rudy runs the dining room while his mother prepares home-style classics like boeuf bourguignon from the kitchen.
  • Table-Served Raclette: Melted cheese scraped hot over potatoes and charcuterie, paired with alpine digestifs like pear eau-de-vie and Chartreuse.

  • Escargots

    The food was just as delicious as we remembered, especially the snails. It’s really hard to find places in Sydney that use fresh snails.
