Best French Restaurants in Canterbury

We attended LB's to celebrate our birthdays. The staff, on entry, were polite and very welcoming. We were led to our table, which gave us a nice view of the Harbour Bridge. They have a short but varied cocktail list ... the cost, though, I feel, maybe a little high. I chose El Dorado .... very nice. We chose to share a starter and decided on the Salt & Pepper Squid. It was absolutely delicious. A very light batter and cooked perfectly so that the squid was lovely and tender. For the main, my partner chose the Steak Frittes and I, the Chicken Scallopini. The steak was of a decent size; cooked as requested and was lovely and tender. My partner thought that, for a main, overall, the dish was a little small. My chicken dish was considerably larger. It was well cooked with an abundance of mushrooms, pomme puree and a very tasty sauce. We added broccolini as a side dish. Being our birthdays, we were afforded a cute little chocolate "Happy Birthday" on top of our dessert. Overall, the food, staff and ambience was wonderful. The prices may be a little high for some, but we felt it well worth the visit.

Love what Porcine does - their attention to detail and laser focus on French cuisine not food trends. Great to have food that is different to a lot of other restaurants and executed so well. Highly recommend the pigeon parfait. Enjoyed a delicious bottle of skin contact Italian wine.

Great options and variety with starters, good main dish options, excellent own-brews too. With the team being warm and hospitable, what’s not to like here?

Went to Gavroche for the first time with my partner and we absolutely loved it! The food was incredible, the service and the atmosphere was great it was just what we needed for date night! Thank you!

Great ambiance, superb food and very friendly service. A must to visit before it closes next year. Another Sydney icon will bite the dust.
