Booked 1 time today
Mandoline Elsternwick is a relaxed and casual cafe along Glen Huntly Road in Melbourne serving up a delicious blend of Australian and French dishes for breakfast and lunch. Also offering expertly made coffee and moreish pastries, you’ll be in cafe food heaven at this spot, trust us. Keep an eye out for breakfast options such as spicy shakshuka and eggs Benedict topped with slow-cooked beef brisket and corn croquettes, as well as lunch dishes that include seafood stew, cassoulet cooked with smoked pork belly, sausage and duck confit and burgers filled with all the trimmings. Popular for good reason, this French inspired cafe in Elsternwick does tend to fill up so booking ahead is highly recommended.

Food and service was out of this world. The pumpkin gnocchi, in a French/ Japanese restaurant, was the best I have ever eaten. The Bansho oysters were fantastic. Together with the scallops. Drink prices reasonable, but not a cheap night out.

A neighbourhood comptoir, shaped by the soul of France and the energy of Melbourne. Petit Crenn is Chef Dominique Crenn's first restaurant in Australia. Everyday French bistro cooking, coffee in petit cups, wine by the glass and cocktails made with care. Order at the bar, settle where you like, and stay as long as you like.

The staff and chef looked after us so well I had an incredible baby shower and did not have to worry about dietary requirements or anything. The vibe of the cafe is gorgeous with all the plants and pink tones. Will definitely be back

Amazing to find this little gem in the suburbs. We had gougeres, crab croquettes, bouillabaisse, slow cooked chicken, slow cooked beef, crepe suzette, creme brulle and tarte tartin. All wonderful!
