The smell of good wholesome food hit me as soon as I walked into the restaurant. I felt like I was entering a restaurant in Paris. Service was good and we had a good large table for 2. The staff had French accents which really added to the genuine feel of the venue. There was a good selection of wines to choose from and from average price to very expensive. We chose a lovely shiraz that didn't' break the bank. We started off sharing 2 entrees which were the steak tartare and quail. The steak tartare was very good but not the best I have had, still worth trying. Absolutely loved the flavours in the quail and could have had more but it was enough to share for starters. We were given bread and butter to share. For mains we shared the duck which was very generous in size and come with a lovely sauce. Definitely the best duck I have had. We also had pomme frites and a lovely beetroot salad to accompany the duck. Was more than enough but we still had room to try the lemon tarte which was very delicious. If you love french food then this place is worth trying. I would go back. The only thing I felt was missing was some quiet french music in the background. Would have lifted the ambience. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately a party of 4 arrived shortly after we started our meal and they must have thought they were at a pub. Not the restaurant's fault but did put a dent in the ambience. Look forward to going back.

From when you step inside door and are greeted warmly, food was amazing …love favourites are always included, but love to peruse specials. Drinks list ample and wines reasonably priced. Always a good night out !!!

Paris Go is an institution in Melbourne; an absolute must-do if you want to experience French Bistro cuisine in this city. It has been around for decades and for good reason. Its steak is the best you'll ever try and I dont say that lightly. But it is the ambience, the staff, the whole emersion experience. We have been going there for well over 15 years and the dishes do not change in taste, quality or size. Constancy is their essence and we rely on that because we go once a year and that is a special thing for us. Not cheap, but this certainly isnt McDonalds we are talking about.
