About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Romantic
Innovative

In true nouveau bistro style, diners are welcomed to the space by a stunning zinc bar. The central rotisserie and charcoal oven are the stars of the kitchen with fish on the bone, roast chicken, meats and vegetables featured as signature dishes. Diners also have the option to be seated at the raw bar, an ideal position to watch the chef prepare oysters, shucked fresh to order.

The wine list showcases premium wines by the glass, featuring a range of new and old-world offerings with an emphasis on all things French, and the passionate staff are on hand to help guests with their choices.

With a strong focus on ethically sourced and organic local ingredients, PHILIPPE is a polished but casual dining experience where patrons can enjoy good food based on time-honoured recipes from France.

I have always been a Philippe M fan and have been to all of his previous restaurants. His food is always beautiful with fantastic ingredients and (I think, authentically French) with just a little surprise here and there. We were not disappointed when four of us dined there and each of had a marvellous meal with not a single grumble! Service excellent.

We decided to have our end of year Christmas celebration at Philippe, hidden down a Melbourne laneway just off Collins Street and we were treated to a delightful authentic classic French dinner. The food was impeccably cooked and presented whilst the service was faultless, unpretentious and most attentive. I ordered the Tin of CuCa Artisan bonito in olive oil, a novel and delicious hors d'oeuvre, followed by the lamb that was superb it was so tender, accompanied with the potato fries which were delicious. For my final course, I ordered the selection of 3 cheeses which were divine, so smooth and such flavoursome cheeses. We loved the casual yet refined ambience and will return again.

A lovely dinner with great food and drinks, and attentive service. The ambience was not really intimate, very buzzy and a little noisy, and the food came very quickly so it felt a little rushed. But on the whole it was very satisfying.

I had been told Philippe's was the place to go and it did not disappoint. The food was amazing. All courses were delicious and between the two of us we could not fault any of the dishes. The staff were very attentive, probably too attentive. Each course arrived quickly, too quickly for us as we like a break between courses. Overall, definitely an enjoyable evening and we will definitely be back.

Sensational except for a feint odour that lurked in the air. Everything else was amazing!

Service. Just when you think it has vanished from Australian restaurants, we find this gem. The service was even better than the tremendous food. I can't remember the last time I said that in AU. Service was perfect, not because there were not small mistakes, but because they were fixed without having to ask and with genuine, authentic courtesy. Will be back next time in Melbourne.

Attractive dining room with comfortable seating and lighting and low noise level enabling easy conversation. Service was efficient and timely without being intrusive. Food was modern take on classic French dishes. Duck breast with confit leg shared for two was delicious. Entrees of oysters and asparagus were excellent. The chocolate caramel dessert was a perfect end. Comprehensive wine list ranging from moderate to expensive, & wines by the glass. We would definitely return .
