France-Soir, South Yarra, Melbourne

France-Soir, South Yarra, Melbourne

France-Soir (11 Toorak Road, South Yarra, Melbourne, tel : +61 3 9866 8569) came recommended for old school brasserie styled French food down at the South Yarra.

France-Soir, menu

Here's a peek at what the restaurant offered.

France-Soir, bread

We were brought some fresh warm baguette with butter which were promptly refilled whenever they were emptied.

France-Soir, escargot

Escargots were....just escargots. I was never much into them and most of time they tasted mostly the same to me.

France-Soir, tripe au riesling

We ordered their tripes au riesling because it was described on the menu as tripe cooked in a tomato and Riesling sauce. Instead, it came with what tasted like minestrone soup. We felt deceived. This was disappointing. 

France-Soir, fried lamb brains

However the fried lamb brains were delicious. A crisp batter shell with creamy brains beneath, crispy capers and some buttery sauce. I'd come back here just for these.

France-Soir, lamb cutlets

Lamb cutlets were very competently done pink. Delicious and left one wanting more because of the petite portions

France-Soir, magret de canard

Their magret de canard was sweet. Sweet like I've never had duck breast before.

France-Soir, creme brulee

France-Soir's crème brûlée was outstanding. The creamy custard beneath the torched sugar shell was velvety and delicious.

France-Soir, tarte tartin

Tarte tartin was not bad. These ones had pretty chunky apples.

France-Soir, cafe royal

Finished with a café royal that had too little cognac.
