The story of this place
France-Soir has been serving classic French brasserie fare in Toorak since 1986, becoming one of Melbourne's most beloved dining institutions. The restaurant has hosted everyone from Mick Jagger to Bruce Springsteen, who return for the unpretentious atmosphere and consistently excellent food. The packed dining room buzzes with energy as waiters deliver steak frites, escargots, and crème brûlée to tables of regulars who have been coming for decades. It's the kind of neighbourhood restaurant that every city wishes it had—where the food is always reliable, the wine list extensive, and the atmosphere authentically French.
