Best French Restaurants in Hawthorn

A phenomenal dining experience. The food was excellent and the service was impeccable. Our waitress was attentive and provided good recommendations from the menu. Overall it was a wonderful evening

We chose the French Saloon to celebrate my husband’s birthday and our wedding anniversary. We shared the chicken liver parfait for starters - it was the best I’ve ever tasted, accompanied by kumquat jam. For mains I chose the French gnocchi with peas and mint, and my husband chose the steak frites. Both were excellent except that my husband found the steak quite chewy. We passed this on the our waitress who then passed it onto the chef. He was offered a different cut of steak as a substitute but declined, however, we really appreciated the offer and openness to feedback. We finished up by sharing a crème brûlée which was thoughtfully delivered with candles! A great place to try if you want something high quality and a little bit different in the CBD.

Food and service was out of this world. The pumpkin gnocchi, in a French/ Japanese restaurant, was the best I have ever eaten. The Bansho oysters were fantastic. Together with the scallops. Drink prices reasonable, but not a cheap night out.

Amazing to find this little gem in the suburbs. We had gougeres, crab croquettes, bouillabaisse, slow cooked chicken, slow cooked beef, crepe suzette, creme brulle and tarte tartin. All wonderful!

Absolutely incredible food & coffee. My favourite brunch place! The French toast 👌😍 amazing. 5💫
