We had the lunch offered for the Good Food Week, two courses, a glass of wine and a coffee for 40 dollars each. I had the pate entry and the fish of the day, blue eye. Both excellent. We did not expect the bread while we waited for our meal, nor the dessert wine after. My companion asked for her steak to be well done, and got it! Very pleasant decor, friendly staff, outstanding value.

This was my 2nd work function at this restaurant and to be honest the 2nd time was a charm.

On my 1st visit I was hesitant to order anything I'd never had before as to avoid the dreaded food envy. The 2nd time it was set menu so I was limited to my choices, which was a good thing.

I had the poulet (chicken) which came with veggies and a very nice sauce. It was the most tender, juicest and perfect chicken I have experienced in my life! I kid you not, could have cut it with a fork if I wasn't in such good company.
What is even more impressive is that they had to replicate this meal again and again as there were over 60 people in there with our function.

The cheeses were heaven, particularly the blue vein. Yum!
I had something quite amazing for desert, a chocolate & beetroot cake with coconut sorbet. Sounds odd, but it was AMAZING! I was so surprised by the taste it created. Absolutely sensational.

I wasn't seen on coming back after the 1st time I came here, but luck so happened to take me back and I am so glad for it.
Staff in my experiences, both times were both attentive and very quick. They had personality and a sense of humour which was really refreshing.

Highly recommend. Try the chicken and definitely get the chocolate and beetroot cake if it is there. You'll not regret it!

I must say I was quite disappointed with The French Brasserie. Apparently it's popular for business people for their 'business lunches' and I thought dinner seemed like a good idea. I feel this restaurant was overly French. I've been to smaller, less well-known restaurants that had a more traditional menu and ambience. It's not that the food was bad, it just wasn't that exciting. For what you got it seemed somewhat overpriced and waiting for the meals took far longer than it should have. Bread was on a table, but not at any of the diner's tables! I had to ask for it, and when I did, they dished it out like rations. I'm sure there are other French restaurants that are more French and better value for money.

Approximate cost: $35-40
