Chez Frederic

We visited here Sunday night. The food was great! I loved their arancini so much! However, the entree took about 25 minutes and the mains took over an hour to be served to our table. Our friends who did not order entrees, literally waited for their food over an hour, and I thought that was ridiculous. They probably were short in chefs on that day, but I think you could inform your customers if there is that long wait for food, at least.

Yummy Italian food. We ordered the Scallop & Prawn 🦐 ravioli and the Aglio e olio. The Scallop & Prawn ravioli was interesting. The ravioli was thin and you could see a bit of the prawn, though after a while you wouldn't be able to tell what's inside. Very well presented dish. There was a total of 8 raviolis which was a reasonable portion size. It's a little on the salty side, but not too salty that you would stop eating. Rating: 7/10 The Agio e olio was a let down. It was not the most flavourful, the best part of it was the parmesan topping. This dish lacked complexity in flavour. Rating: 3/10 Overall, Food: 7/10 Ambience: 7/10. It's good for large groups. Staff are very friendly, this is a place I will return.

It has been a while since visiting Chez Frederic. The restaurant itself is unchanged and has a nice clean decor with ornamental plants on and around tables. The food flavours is good, but I have some lack of knowledge of French Pasta. Previously the portions were very generous, which was good for our big appetites. They are now a reasonable size but it could disappoint some of the previous customers who expect a large serving. I plan to go back and try the lamb shanks next time.

Not being from the Canberra area, I found this restaurant after a google and saw great reviews, so booked a table. It was very easy to get a table on a Sunday night. The few staff that were there were friendly; the chef even brought us our table water and was so nice. The food was incredible - highly recommend the duck fat roast potatoes! The atmosphere was super chill too. Highly recommend this place!

We went yesterday- Saturday .The food was amazing and would go back for the food again. However, we had a waitress who took our order and she was quite rude. Luckily, the food made up for her extremely poor service. She had no smile and we felt rather unpleasant after she took our order. However, there was a waiter, he was really nice and he looked like the boss/manager there.
