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.
Here's a peek at what the restaurant offered.
We were brought some fresh warm baguette with butter which were promptly refilled whenever they were emptied.
Escargots were....just escargots. I was never much into them and most of time they tasted mostly the same to me.
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.
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.
Lamb cutlets were very competently done pink. Delicious and left one wanting more because of the petite portions
France-Soir's crème brûlée was outstanding. The creamy custard beneath the torched sugar shell was velvety and delicious.
Tarte tartin was not bad. These ones had pretty chunky apples.
Finished with a café royal that had too little cognac.
