Atmosfera affascinante

Climb the narrow flight of stairs up from the red brick lane to enter the saloon. A table in the bustling dining room? Or a seat at the fluted zinc bar? Whether it’s a lunch, dinner or well crafted cocktails with a snack, bookings are essential.

French Saloon X St John Takeover
135,00 A$ a persona
21 mar 2025 - 29 mar 2025
The ultimate British restaurant takes up residence at French Saloon this March. Farokh Talati - head chef from St John, joins Luke Fraser and the French Saloon team, to present a set four-course menu each service, with the offer of plenty of extras for anyone who, in true St John style, would like to give things a nudge. Trevor has also shipped over plenty of Boulevard Napoleon, the wine he has been making in the Minervois in the south of France since 2008, the perfect supplement to the Saloon’s own cellar. The four-course menu is $135 per person with all beverages and extras charged in addition.

Had a great experience. Excellent food - the fish was delicious and the steaks were juicy and tender. Extensive wine list reasonably priced. Very attentive service. Everything you want from a classic French bistro

Fantastic all round experience, the food was exceptional, well executed, traditionally based but contemporary without anything extraneous, every element did what it needed to do. The service was a real highlight, attentive, warm, knowledgable and added a lot to the evening. The wine list is one of those rare beasts that is both expansive and fairly priced, with a dangerously good mix of classics and off-piste selections. By the glass is solid but the real fun is in the full list, some great finds. I'd go back there in a second.

I visit French Saloon with my colleagues every couple of weeks for a well earned steak frites and glass of wine. Cannot ever fault this place. People are amazing, the food is incredible and the wines are fabulous. The creme burlee is also sensational. One of my favourite places in Melbourne for steak frites.

My response to the waitress that said "Would you like something weird." Is that this is not the first time this middle aged white guy has been judged on his looks by staff at an eatery and no I'm not a Trump supporter. Therefore in the name of equality, the waitress shouldn't have a problem with young women being labelled feminazis instead of compassionate feminists. There will not be a third visit.

Generally a very pleasant four-star experience, with attentive waiters, an efficient kitchen, and delicious food. It was soured however, at the end of the evening, when presented with the bill with options of 10%, 15% and 20% gratuity. I had intended to tip [a different amount] but, when it was an expectation that I tip at specific levels, I abandoned my plans to tip. I was vindicated when the receipt arrived incorporating a credit card surcharge, avaricious when one considers that the meals and beverages were at a level that would comfortably absorb this minor cost of doing business.
