Les Bistronomes

From the moment you walk in the door you see why Les Bistronomes is frequently rated one of the best restaurants in Canberra. It’s a lovely, quiet space, with lots of nooks for more personal dining, and service is superb. The menu here is far from the classic French bistro and there were some absolute standouts, in particular the amuse bouche, the La Bourride main and crème brûlée dessert, which was brought to the table and set alight to harden the toffee lid. There was no problem with catering for celiacs with just about everything on the menu gluten free or able to be adapted. The only slightly bum note was the GF bread which was clearly store bought and tasteless. However the ordinary bread was sensational. There’s a small but very good selection of French and Canberra region wines by the glass. A great night out.

We had a wonderful evening at this authentic French bistro. The food was outstanding and also catered for gluten free options. The friendly staff made our evening even more enjoyable. We will definitely revisit this lovely restaurant on our next trip to Canberra.
