La Fantaisie
Housed in a two-storey Victorian building in the heart of Abbotsford, La Fantaisie artfully
combines florist, Cafe & restaurant and function spaces into a welcoming and tactile proposition.
Embracing a layered approach to materials, the venue reflects the beauty and fragility of the
historic site. Burnished concrete floors, exposed-truss ceilings, raked render and troweled
brick walls create a textural backdrop, drawing focus to the striking articulation of floristry
and café benches. Custom carved from solid blush-toned marble, the bench’s scalloped
profile is a creative hallmark of the space, complemented by linen drapery and tiered flower
displays that define a series of dining settings in timber and cognac leather. Upstairs, a
brass-lined cocktail bar and open function room craft a captivating setting for special events.

    Good and drinks were amazing. Flowers and greener were stunning but only set up in first room. 2nd room was not decked out with flowers other than what was on the table. Toilet was really dirty though which is a shame as everything else was well presented.

    Small venue, waited a little while for sitting even though we had booking at 10:30. Lobster is actually Morton bay bug, slightly disappointed, but tasted quite nice. Food presentation is great, as well as the taste. Overall value for money.

    Appreciate they went above and beyond with checking each ingredient of our order my brother-in-law might potentially be allergic with. Even went on recommending switching low risk ingredient with a safer one. Other resto would’ve just straight out recommend not ordering such plate. I couldn’t recommend their customer service highly enough!

    A gem on an otherwise average street in Richmond. Stunning, high quality food, gorgeous fit out, and great coffee. We were impressed! On the more expensive side for brunch, with 10% surcharge on weekends, so go if you fancy a treat!

    Such a beautifully presented café particularly with the florist at the front and light fittings. Staff were welcoming and accommodating...we asked to move tables and they arranged. Food has slight twists on traditional cafe offerings and was very tasty. About 23-28 per meal but worth it. Good sized coffees too!

    Not much to chose from in menu. Lacking vegetarian options. Dessert was pretty expensive. Looked beautiful but lacking in flavour. However The avo on toast was delicious! A combination of fruit and avo on toast which I thought would taste strange but it was nice and refreshing. We also got seated next to the front door… was a cold day so was not very pleasant . Chia latte was average. Had worse, had better.
