I came here with a friend for a weekday lunch so we had most the restaurant to ourselves. My friend convinced me to try the escargot which I actually fell in love with. Mind over matter, if you don’t think about it, the buttery garlic concoction is delicious. I ordered the barramundi which was cooked perfectly but was lacking in flavor. The real winner here is the creme brûlée and I dare say it’s the best creme brûlée I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. So creamy, smooth and silky and a perfect layer of torched sugar on top!
LIT! : customer services was great here. The waiter was so funny and cheerful. <br/ Of 5 mains we tried, the stand out dish was the duck and potatos. Duck was very succulent. <br/ For entrees, the stand out was the foie gras. <br/ <br/ NOT SO LIT: the 2 steaks we had were a bit chewy and not as tender as we would have liked. <br/ The beef bournignon was super tender but was very watery. <br/ <br/ Overall the experience was still good and the customer service definitely added to it. Thanks for having us! X
The atmosphere was amazing felt like I walked into France as soon as I got, which was a great touch. Also food was great, snails and tartare very authentic and tasty and duck confit and steak was cooked well and super tasty, the only let down was the duck parfait it reminded me of spam, it was hard and not easily spreadable and just not a good texture at all. Other then that was a great French restaurant.
Wonderful evening in Paris at this Melbouorne institution. We haven’t been for ages as we have a favourite French brassiere down the road but thought we would try again. We weren’t disappointed. The John Dory and oysters were delicious and salad, spinach and pommes frittes were on point. <br/ <br/ Great wine list as always. Overall, a wonderful evening. We will be back again.

love our visit to France Soir, it is like being transported back to Paris. The whole ambience, the squashed in tables, the noise, the waiters. The only thing missing is the smell of someone smoking a Gauloises on the pavement outside The food is always well cooked and the menu offers some unusual dished for the more adventurous
Booking was made earlier in the day for six people We arrived that night to find no booking was documented and the staff member was off duty so couldn't confirm Had to wait awhile whilst other patrons had finished their meal for a table They were very busy as it was a Saturday night and they made you feel like it was your fault
If this restaurant was in Paris and you were lucky enough to eat in it, you would return to Melbourne and rave to all your friends how you discovered a real Parisienne gem.How lucky we are to have France Soir.My tip..... order the specials of the day. Can’t go wrong.And you will drink very well here too.
Feels like being in Paris. Great old school hospitality, simple food done well. Favorite meal here is a starter of snails, followed by the rib eye and a nice glass of gamay. BYO during the week is handy too
