Noir is that rare thing - a genuinely relaxed and friendly neighborhood restaurant that also happens to have award winning food and service. Recently renovated, the restaurant's chic style, elegance and warmth make for that perfect romantic meal for two, or a group of friends or family.

From humble beginnings in 2011, Noir has slowly developed a reputation for uncompromising quality and grown to include a beautiful bar and dining room upstairs, ideal for corporate and private functions.

Our kitchen led by chef patron, Peter Roddy, offers playful takes on regional French food, where exceptional produce takes center stage. A seasonal menu of outstanding Australian ingredients are sympathetically handled to create visually striking dishes of terrific flavour.

    We have going to Noir for some years now, currently on a Sunday. The food is always consistently excellent, tasty and this Sunday just past, I had a gnocchi with Wagyu beef ragout that was delicious and that hint of sweetness, the best I've had. The wines are always well thought out and we never have trouble choosing something to either match the food or our palate. The Sunday lunch (our usual) offers a wide choice, Sunday lunch special, a tasting menu or al a carte, lots of back and forth on what to choose. Can't recommend it enough.

    Super Long wait for food. 45 mins on mains. It was great when it came but 15 mins past too long, a real shame. Price wise it’s up at the higher end of places on that street.

    Great value fine French dinning experience with a community feel. The degustation menus represents great value with dishes to be expected at a far greater price point. Fantastic wine list representing both local and French options. Don’t miss out on trying the champagne granita oysters. Will be back for sure.

    Nice restaurant, staff and service were great,Joy had the prawn entree which was excellent, we both had the fillet steak mains, given the price we expected eye fillet but it was scotch fillet, it must have been cooked in an oven,it had a stewed look, and was not the standard we expected. We were disappointed with our meal.Wines were very expensive. Bill

    Food was amazing! Service was friendly but there was only 1 person in front of house. I think service could suffer with a full house. We had an 8pm sitting on a Tuesday. It was a quiet night but some more atmosphere would have been nice. Will definitely return.

    Wonderful neighborhood restaurant- amazing value lunch special although we all ate a La carte . The service was friendly, relaxed & professional. They allow BYO ( $25) earlier in the week and we took advantage of this to take some stunning wines to accompany the excellent food. Prawn Tortellini a real standout. Look forward to returning when I can - it’s a long way from the UK !

    I have been to Noir many times, but I was a bit disappointed this time. The sides we ordered didn’t come out with the mains, and even after following up with the waitstaff there was a massive delay so that by the time the sides arrived we had almost finished our mains. I thought they would at least remove them from the bill, but they didn’t. Otherwise it was a very enjoyable meal.

    A warm welcome the minute we came through the door. Shown to our table and immediately provided with water and shortly after a nice glass of champagne. Then the menus which had a lovely range of options. The food came well paced and very well prepared and presented. We haven’t been for a while but will be back soon

    I've been to a couple of French restaurants in Melb before trying Noir. I'd say Noir is a standout. We ordered a few entrees to share, and duck and streak as main. It's done 100% to my high expectation. Highly recommended.
