Favourite restaurant in Melbourne: France Soir — Melbourne's quintessential French bistro with over three decades under its belt. It's got old-school charm, waiters with plenty of character and an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in Melbourne. From escargot and steak tartare, to steak frites and duck a l'orange, France Soir is a study in essential Euro flavours without unnecessary fanfare.
