Very nice review:) Make me so hungry. I would love to try that good looking apple tart most, especially when you said it wasn’t too sweet. I don’t like the overly sweet desserts. I’m not familiar with French Cuisine much either, but I think you did a nice job reviewing this restaurant.

Let me know when ure in town then. any excuse to eat is good enough for me.
I do like Movida but I prefer Bar Lourinha (http://jeroxie.com/addiction/bar-lourinha/). Personal favourite.

Sounds lovely – I am always looking to recreate my 6 years in Paris when I eat out! Next time I am in Melbourne….. (sigh!)

Did you see my couple of Melbourne reviews?

30 degrees in the morning! Sounds like Melbourne in summer (but not all the time). Thanks for the tip about escargots. I guess it will be a novelty if served in the shell. Silly aussies! And yes, this place is so popular. I love it and will head back again.

Dear Jeroxie (real name?)!
Greetings from a very hot place! Already more than 30 degrees at 8:20 a.m.!
Excellent report and pictures, even if they are dark (don’t worry about it!).
Did you know that France Soir is also the name of a famous French evening newspaper?
Beng born in Dijon and raised in Bourgogne, I found the escargots very much like the ones served by my brother in his restaurant. Snail shells are for unknowing Parisians! They don’t have a clue how difficult to clean and unhygienic they are, not to mention the difficulty to handle them at a restaurant always running the risk to soil your good clothes!LOL
This place is very much like a tue bistro serving good and plentiful fare. Knowing the Ozzies’ appetite, it must be pretty popular!
Cheers and all that!

Interesting how they served the snails. Probably easier to eat that way but I imagine not as aesthetically pleasing (at least to some).

The brulee looks really good. Wide surface area would allow for even more of that wonderfully crunchy toffee crust. Mmm…
