Delicious food as always, the beef Wellington is always incredible and cooked perfectly to customers request. Staff are delightful but service very very slow in the night we attended. Table booked at 6 and we were still eating at 9.30. It’s a small restaurant and gets very very busy and noise level not for the faint hearted
My favourite french restaurant in Australia for the food quality and value (though France Soir in Melbourne has a Parisian vibe). I came again for my birthday with my husband and had another excellent meal. Complimentary pate and toasted bread is the perfect welcome to Chez Maurice etc Linda and a wonderful maitre de - she gave us excellent service all night in a packed restaurant. For starters we had the sauteed prawns with garlic and parsley served with steamed rice - sensational. And for main course I had the Chateaubriand with bernaise sauce and my husband had the filet de bouuf wellington - both perfectly cooked and so yummy. We love the green beans and potatoes they are served with. Byo is great. Lol, my absolute favourite dish which I had been craving before going was surprisingly out of stock - it is the pan fried brains with garlic and parsley - with my friends suggesting that they might have all been shipped to the US!
The great French cuisine! Will definitely come back next time!
