This restaurant is steeped in the romance of 1920s Paris, from a stage-set salon to please the most devout Francophile to a menu steeped in the certainties of snails, saucisson sec and soufflé. And for Bastille Day, punters can partake in a $85 per person set menu lunch full of French favourites. Think souffle suissesse with gruyere sauce, duck leg confit, scallop gratinee, and crème brulée to finish. To book, head to the website.
