The true definition of a Melbourne institution. I’ve only ever heard people rave about this place — and after dining here, I completely understand why it’s been thriving for over 40 years.
What’s already charming is that bookings are only taken over the phone — no online reservations — which adds to its old-school appeal.
The moment you walk in, you can feel the buzz. The atmosphere is electric yet classic — white tablecloths, mirrored walls with menus and specials written across them, and a retro bar greeting you at the entrance. The waiters, dressed in crisp black and white, move gracefully through the space, creating a seamless dining experience. Service was exceptional — attentive, fast, and friendly throughout the night.
The food was absolutely exquisite. We started with a dozen oysters, mussels in white wine and cream, and the house-made pork sausage with mustard sauce — all perfection. For mains, we had the Entrecôte, cooked to perfection and served with fries, salad, and our choice of sauce. The portion size was generous, the quality outstanding, and at $53, incredible value. We paired our meal with cocktails followed by a bottle of rosé — the perfect match.
France-Soir is one of those restaurants that stays with you long after you’ve left. A place I’ll always come back to and dream about returning to. It’s fun, timeless, and everything you want from a classic French dining experience. I hope it continues to shine in Melbourne for decades to come.

We had the quail with truffle mushroom sauce, roast duck confit here, absolutely fantastic! It even better in Paris. The food here is truly exceptional, and the service was outstanding. The atmosphere was also delightful. I highly recommend it! ✨ ️

Food is delicious, but wow is this place busy! I have been wanting to go here for 18 years and it did not disappoint. The traditional French service and atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve stepped off Toorak Road and onto the 8th arrondissement. We were here for a birthday and the crème brûlée was complimentary (after we ate basically the whole menu – specials and all) Highly recommend for a special occasion. Bon appetit !

Our second visit to France-Soir did not disappoint. During our first visit, we found the food to be a little too salty, but that was not the case today.
We ordered the shredded duck (again), orange duck leg, scampi, truffle quail, and profiteroles and coffee for dessert. These profiteroles were soo incredibly scrumptious, and the coffee was notably impressive. The shredded duck is always a hit, and omg the truffle quail Service was good, atmosphere warm and cosy. We will keep coming back to France-Soir ! ❤️❤️❤️

Food was good, large menu, with all the French classics. Service definitely would not make me go back again though. Towards the end of our meal a group of 6 people, who appeared to be regulars, walked in. From that moment we felt that they wanted the table and we were rushed out. It’s a rare outing these days with a young child so it was extra special and we would have definitely sat there and ordered another appetizer and drinks, but they clearly wanted to accommodate this group quickly. It all felt a bit wanky to be honest and was a disappointing way to finish the day.

Nice French Restaurant – food are delicious and well prepared, staff speak french well.
A bot busy but understandable as it is so popular.
Only thing is that when I called to reserve a seat, the waitress seems a bot inpatient

Really enjoyed the calamari and escargots (and the free bread&butter). The duck with orange glaze was a bit too salty for my taste. There is a wide variety of wine too for wine lovers.

We loved every dish we ordered.
We had the French escargot, beef tartare, porterhouse steak, eye fillet, and a few glasses of Bordeaux red wine.
The apple pie for dessert was a delightful surprise, absolutely delicious.

I had an absolute fantastic night, no words can describe the time I had at France soir, Milan our waiter was caring and took time to make our night so special! John, Cedric, Justin and Gaspard did their part beautifully! Can’t wait to come back to our own little France here in Melbourne!
