No one likes Mondays. Monday is the awkward back to work, coffee overload, I'd-just-rather-be-in-bed day of the week. Since 1986, France-Soir has been serving little bits of happiness in its packed Toorak brasserie to lighten up Mondays everywhere. Choose from an extensive list of timeless, simple French classics. But it's not the food that keeps the restaurant packed after nearly 30 years. The raw intimate, atmosphere of France-Soir is nearly impossible to replicate. Combined with one of the largest internationally recognised wine lists in Melbourne which features over 2100 French wines, France-Soir easily keeps their loyal regulars coming back for Monday night cous cous specials every week.
