Loved the staff. They were so cooperative and pleasant. The food was cooked well though they lacked appropriate drinks for people under age.

Love the ambiance here. I tried the three course dinner menu and everything from start to finish was delicious and presented well. The quality of the food is excellent.

Approximate cost: $55

This is a snazzy restaurant offering a lovely atmosphere. I came in for lunch and had the kangaroo fillet and snails in garlic butter. The kangaroo was a bit tough, and the snails were not for me. I felt like I could taste some soil - definitely not for the squeamish, but if you're willing to try the snails, this is a must, even for the novelty.

I had the signature dish 'escargot' for my entree, I was a bit hesitant to eat snails, but I absolutely loved it! It had an amazing flavor. The staff were pleasant.

I went here once with some friends for lunch. Though we had high expectations because of the prices and the location of the restaurant, they were really not met. I ordered a plate of snails. They were much too oily and overcooked. The main for me, chicken, was very well done and quite dry and salty but otherwise flavourless. Chocolate mouse for dessert was slightly better, but not great, and the portions were all very small. It's not a place I'd go back to anytime soon.

The foods pretty good. The snails are delicious. The service can be a bit sloppy at times though. I'd suggest to go for lunch as dinner is a bit pricey. The kangaroo is a bit tough so steer away if you don't like tough meats.

Approximate cost: $26.00

Had a wonderful time here for our 10th Wedding Anniversary. It was nice to go somewhere special but not have to pay more than was comfortable (set 3 course menu $52). The food was fabulous, the service great and the entertainment was brilliant

Can't wait to try- never have been to a French Restaurant and would love to!

You cannot dine here without having the snails. An absolute must.

Last time I was here I was shorted one snail (11 instead of 12) and the waiter didn't feel the need to "compensate" (even after I told him it was my 21st birthday). Once a favourite but after the last experience, will never return. When we got there we asked for a particular table but it was reserved- rude waiter went into a long discussion about how it was reserved for a special client who had a fear of windows... he could simply have said it was reserved.

Much dearer now than when it was at Broadway. Lunch time value is fine but dinner is double.

I remember this place when it was still at Broadway, prices have gone up a bit but the food is still great. Amazing 3 course lunch meal deal for $28.00. Must be best value in Pyrmont for French food.

Approximate cost: $28

Probably one of the best French restaurants I have eaten at in Sydney. They provide an interesting menu of classic French food (yes, including snails). I got mushroom crepes and they were absolutely delicious. Not too creamy and packed full of flavour. Service is satisfactory and prices fairly reasonable for the area.
