C'est Bon Restaurant & Le Bon Bar

Overview

Whenever the craving for a taste of France strikes, C'est Bon has Brisbane covered. Five mornings a week, it functions as a creperie over breakfast and brunch, making spanner crab- and confit duck-topped crepes made with buckwheat flour from Brittany.

When lunch hits, and dinner as well, its a la carte menu includes lobster tarts, pigs head terrine, Paris-style gnocchi and blackcurrant gateau. And for drinks with a view (particularly wine and cocktails over Appellation oysters and croque monsieurs), the Woolloongabba favourite also boasts a rooftop bar called Ooh La La.

It's no wonder that the Stanley Street eatery remains one of Brisbane's best restaurants. A hospitality hub that's happily several venues, it's also home to Le Bon Bar and the Garden Terasse — patrons enter through the former as they start their C'est Bon experience. At the latter, an elevated area for al fresco dining and functions awaits.

Also a highlight: C'est Bon's trolley full of events, whether it's a lobster and caviar flambé cart once a week, an excuse to hero botanicals for World Gin Day, Sunday lunches, visiting interstate French joints taking over and Bastille weekends, or fondue nights, crepes over yoga, festive feasts and bakery pop-ups.

Whatever the occasion, seasonal Queensland ingredients take pride of place in French dishes, as paired with the beautifully curated wine list from boutique and family vineyards (and a hefty amount of champagne).

The chef's tasting menu is a must-try, spanning seven courses with optional matched wines from either Australia or France.
