Find a slice of Paris in Geelong at Bistrot St Jean. In many ways, this is exactly what a classic bistro should be — casual vibes, an honest menu, affordable prices, and even the odd accordion player from time to time.
This charming neighbourhood spot is welcoming and down-to-earth, things that are reflected in everything from the menu to the open-plan kitchen and bar. The menu features a rotating selection of classic French plates — start with a traditional onion soup with a gruyère crouton, before tucking into confit duck leg or even a beef bourguignon.
Make sure you order a bottle (or two) from the wine list, which features local and international labels that form part of the decor.
