The thoughtful wine list is naturally French-focused but with plenty of special local and domestic surprises too.French Saloon's recent collaboration with the renowned London restaurant St John during the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival has further cemented its place as a noteworthy destination in Melbourne's dynamic culinary scene.

    The environment is very elegant, and there aren't many people, so it's not crowded. Because it was a bit cold today, even though there were no customers in the store at that time, the heating was still turned on in advance. The dishes are very delicious. I think this is the best steak I've ever had in Melbourne. Finally, I would like to say that the service here is very good. I especially want to thank the staff today, which made this anniversary even more complete.
