    We decided to have our end of year Christmas celebration at Philippe, hidden down a Melbourne laneway just off Collins Street and we were treated to a delightful authentic classic French dinner. The food was impeccably cooked and presented whilst the service was faultless, unpretentious and most attentive. I ordered the Tin of CuCa Artisan bonito in olive oil, a novel and delicious hors d'oeuvre, followed by the lamb that was superb it was so tender, accompanied with the potato fries which were delicious. For my final course, I ordered the selection of 3 cheeses which were divine, so smooth and such flavoursome cheeses. We loved the casual yet refined ambience and will return again.
