Food was amazing as was the service. The host was great. She explained the French in detail and food was brought out at a very satisfactory pace. We sat next to the kitchen and saw how quick each was put together. The food is immediately picked up from the kitchen straight to the table. It was a very satisfying experience.

Excellent French restaurant with delicious food , excellent service and friendly staff. Food is authentic and tasty. Pre-dinner drinks and cocktails are available and lots of choices. Outdoor seats are available. It’s a busy restaurant and needs reservations especially in weekends. I joined family members and had a great experience celebrating birthday party. It’s worth coming back again.

We had a wonderful experience at St Germains. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, with every dish full of flavour and elegance. Our waitress was attentive, friendly and very knowledgeable, while the manager was welcoming and professional, making us feel truly valued. An exceptional dining experience from start to finish

We dined here recently and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. We ordered the eye fillet steaks, which were extremely tough and not what you would expect given the price point. For a French restaurant, we were expecting high-quality meat and careful preparation.
We raised this politely with the waitress, who was pleasant, however when the manager came over the interaction was dismissive and unnecessarily rude. There was no genuine attempt to resolve the issue, which made the experience even more disappointing.
Given the cost of the meal, we expected both quality food and professional service. Sadly, we received neither on this occasion.

We celebrated my parents 60th wedding anniversary of which they arranged a set menu from the a la carte menu. Loved the escargot in garlic butter, the sour dough bread. My main was disappointing with lukewarm french fries with my steak that came with bearnaise sauce but not the mustard as requested, but still quite nice. The salad had very little dressing. The desserts were 3 very tiny mouthful assorted pastries of creme brulee tartlet, chocolate tartlet and profiterole with Chantilly cream which I loved. Had the fries been hot instead of nearly cold they would have received 5 stars for the food. The service was great, however had to ask for bread basket to be refilled instead of been offered by observation and they had forgotten my coffee. They servers were very diligent on refilling our glasses with sparkling water and wine. Atmosphere was terrible. We couldn’t hear ourselves talking as was extremely noisy with no aircon or ceiling fans, so the room was quite hot. They had the side doors open but made very little difference. It’s child friendly in the menu option if children are easy to please. My grandchildren had smoked salmon, steak with fries and only liked the profiterole from the dessert option. They bought from home a small activity to keep them busy while waiting for the food. I highly recommend kids do that.
Overall I gave 3 stars due to the very poor atmosphere, luke warm fries and disappointing desserts and overlooked items. The price point is very expensive at $200 per head and should have been top notch and it wasn’t.

A chic French bistro in hawthorn.
Love how they design the space and outdoor areas.
We just had some nibbles and they were all delicious! A great selection of wine.
Service can be improved I feel as we were sitting outside and sometimes we felt a bit forgotten.
Anyways, will definitely come back and try more food and wine.

An avid fan of the St Germain liqueur this little French local became a must to sample
A gorgeous Friday afternoon lunch venue and very popular for ladies who lunch from sizing up the patron bookings
Larger groups and a few smaller tables. Just under a handful of he/him
Lunch was an in/out planned occasion instead it became extended resulting from such an enjoyable dining experience
Oysters with a glass of Picpoul de Pinet Champagne a must to start with (min order 3) so let’s have a 1/2 dozen to share please
Sharing all our dishes next the elegant beetroot pink Salmon with a light fresh mouthfill and a glass of Ferrages Rose each
Duck liverpate so perfect with the cornichon finish – I always have to order more crouton and this was presented with a big understanding smile and haste
When in France one must Escargot! The 6 entree snails Bourgogne smelt divine at our table and disappeared way too quickly. Next time I am not sharing.
A main size Classic French steak tartare with pommes serving size was surprisingly large and pouring our own egg a fancy novelty. I had a bottle of mineral water (driving) and my guest returned to a glass of Madame Dumont
Our beautiful French waitress was polished and polite. We admired her services and her personalised uniform.
The manager on top of everything, bar, service, cashiering, follow up and great sense of timing and humour.
A lovely addition to Glenferrie Rd, I can only imagine all the ladies who lunch events already booked in St Germain.

Outstanding Parisian style bistro with classic dishes, but executed to a level rarely seen in Melbourne.
From the quality of the foie gras, to the delicious crispy pork belly, French-style, the perfectly seasoned béarnaise sauce accompanying a great steak to the perfect home-made pastry of the Tarte Tatin…crispy, melting in your mouth, perfect balance of caramel sweetness and tartiness of apples….Nice to be back in France for an hour. Pleasant and caring service from the South of France.
An address to keep- St Germain Wine Bar- 838 Glenferrie Rd, Hawthorn.
Bravo to the entire team!

Food and wine was pretty decent, but didn’t like how the waitress straightaway selected a tip amount of $10 on the card machine and asked “you okay with this?”. Honestly, service was not bad, I would have happily punched in the same amount, but tipping doesn’t work this way imo.

Overall – more bad than good.
The bad:
Service was not good, taking us about half an hour to get menus and order. Sitting outside did not help, but despite our best efforts to flagging down staff, it appeared as if only one staff member was taking orders for the entire establishment. The food also took quite a long time to come, with us being served our mains over 1 hour and 15 mins after arriving.
The food was problematic. The lamb was so rare that, while not unsafe to eat, was not nice given how gummy the texture was. The scotch fillet was cut so uneven that the thin spinalis was completely overcooked (well done) and the thick side of the eye was very rare. The steak was ordered as a medium.
The feedback was provided to the restaurantuer, who offered to re-bake the lamb. However, it was so late in the night that we instead chose to leave. While we appreciate the offer, at $100/head these things are not expected to occur.
The good:
The establishment is very pretty with a vibrant atmosphere. The wine list is good with lots of options.
Overall, we would return for a drink, but not for food.
