Philippe

A little French bistro in the heart of Melbourne. When you walk downstairs it immediately takes you away from Melbourne and you could for a second think that you're in an area of France. The food is splendid! Seeing the restaurant with its awards displayed gives you an idea that the food will be excellent. Everything was delicious, surprisingly even the sides wowed us. Their famous duck was so well balanced with the sauce and the escargot in its butter garlic sauce. We always know that the food and service will be great here. Whenever you're feeling a bit of French food, Philippe does not ever disappoint.

We had an incredible experience at Philippe. The service was fantastic and the food was even better. Portions were very large and the flavours were very authentic - so delicious! We never order dessert at restaurants but the creme brulee was too good to pass it. Would definitely recommend for a date night!

Celebrating a 22.02.2022 birthday couldn't have been better at Philippe. Spencer served us with his best attention and so did the rest of the crew. The food was awesome..can't go wrong with the snails, brochollini, pate, and not forgetting the duck! The must try place for French dining! Thank you for the Happy Birthday chocolate!

The ambience and atmosphere were absolutely lovely. They serve humble yet refined and gourmet French food. Everything we had was perfectly executed. We started with the sourdough bread and French butter! That was one of the best butter I have had! So creamy, buttery and fragrant. For entrees, we had the escargots and tartare. Can’t fault any of these. The flavours were perfectly balanced, just delicious! We ordered duck and waygu rump for mains. I will not stop raving about the duck because that was sublime!!! The duck was tender with a crispy skin. I could taste the duck fat melting in my mouth in each bite. The bright and tart jus complimented so well with the slight sweetness of the duck. The waygu was alright but the duck outshined it. Last but not least remember to order their chips. Can’t wait to visit Philippe again.
