About the restaurant

* WE HAVE MOVED*
Please note we have moved location to 165 King William Rd, Hyde Park

A bistro must be welcoming - with honest food and great wine. Those are the things we all love.” - Fabien Striet (Head Chef), we believe French food shouldn’t be reserved for special occasions. Our menu of classic dishes is prepared to authentic recipes, alongside a few modern takes and seasonal specials. We offer wines sourced from French regions, and a handful of local producers. Dinner available Tuesday to Sunday and Brunch available every Saturday/Sunday.

This was my 2nd visit to Bistro Francais. I loved my experience so much the first time I visited with 2 of my girlfriends that I made this booking for my mother’s group girls dinner. On my 1st visit I ordered the bread with French butter which was underwhelming. I imagined the bread would have been warm and the French butter needed more salt. Last night all our meals were delicious. The ambience was great although some background French music would have been good. I loved the service, candles. Some of your smaller dishes should be turned into larger dishes I think. I look forward to my next visit perhaps with my husband next.

it's a small but quaint place to have brunch in. They have heaters inside that makes the entire place cozy on a rainy day. Food and service are great.

Prospect

About the restaurant

Set in a beautiful Art Deco building in the thriving heart of Prospect, Rosemont Hall is the perfect spot for friendly lunches, fun times and casual get togethers.

Outside, come for a fresh juice and a healthy Asian salad, while the kids play in the plush laneway and garden. Then stay for dinner in our beautiful restaurant and get transported to 1920’s Hong Kong.

When it comes to food, there is plenty to choose from- whether it’s a meat platter from Mr Chan or a selection of delicious snacks with a wine in hand. We are all about keeping it casual, but also offer table service for dinner in the main “hall”. Think local seafood, roasted meats, dim sum and stir-fry’s straight from the wok.

Don’t miss this suburban dining destination and home away from home in Adelaide’s beautiful inner-north.

Probably the best Asian fusion restaurant I've ever been to. I don't know how they pack so much flavour into each dish. Eating there is a joyful experience.
