I had a lovely experience at Bistro Sousou. The steak frites were excellent, well cooked and satisfying, and the drinks complemented the meal nicely. The crème brûlée was very enjoyable, custard was smooth, rich, and had a beautiful vanilla flavour that really came through. I did wish the caramelised top was a little thicker for more of that crackle, but the custard itself was delightful and made up for it. Service was attentive and thoughtful throughout, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and unique. Sitting beside the window and watching the world outside added a really nice touch to the evening. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience with good food, great service, and a setting that invites you to linger. I’d happily return.

Bistro Sousou was on my list of restaurants to try for a while and I finally tried it tonight. It did not disappoint. My friend and I were blown away by the quality of the service, food and atmosphere. It was perfect. For entrée we ordered the soup à l’oignon. It was delicious and such a generous portion. For main my friend ordered the steak frites and I ordered the bavette. We were so pleased with the medium-rare cook on the steaks, the quality of the beef and seasoned perfectly. For dessert my friend had the creme brûlée and I had the tarte tatin. Both were equally delicious and not overly sweet. We will definitely be back at Bistro Sousou and will recommend to friends and family.

A quant traditional french bistro with a really nice atmosphere. The staff were terrific and helpful and the wines I had were very nice. The menu and food is traditional and very tasty. The steak Tartare was a stand out for me.

Another Great venue on a Melbourne Bar scene!!!! Rustic interiors, warm, comfortable, communal, gives you immediate feel of belonging. Background "hum" of peoples chatter & light French music sets the stage for great night. Service was excellent, attentive, not intrusive, friendly and quick Just right! Now about food! As a legit representative of French tradition, meals were prepared beautifully, presented well and they've tasted amazing. Whether you're a Francophile or just admire well prepared comfort food, this little gem is a must-visit! We had Oysters, Escargots de Bourgogne , Scallops, Coq au vin, Beef bourguignon, Cauliflower in a fantastic sauce and fish. A bit of everything, but quite a bit as well, right...We've really enjoyed every bite and every sip of wine. Guest wise (at least that night) was nice mixture urbane clientele, younger groups, older groups, couples on date, all together very nicely blended into enjoyable relaxed crowd This was our first time but we will be back, definitively! Highly recommended Jana & Boris

Had dinner here on a weekday and tried a few dishes. Complimentary baguette was served which was nice and crispy, not tough at all. The French onion soup was seasoned with quite a lot of herbs which tasted like oregano and the vinegary flavour was a bit too strong, but the partially submerged croutons baked with gruyere cheese was good. The crab croquettes with aioli from the chef's special menu was very creamy with a thin delicate crumbed coating, topped with some shaved cheese for extra flavour which was tasty. Had the wagyu rump steak accompanied with a grilled prawn (was informed the king crab leg is unavailable) for main and it was cooked to medium rare as requested. Steak was tender but it did not have much marbling for a marble score 8/9; the red wine jus was nice but the steak itself could be seasoned a bit more. Still a good steak but just not what I had expected. Prawn was tasty with the garlic herb butter. For dessert, had the mi-cuit au chocolat which is a sweet and decadent molten chocolate cake which paired perfectly with the cherry vanilla ice cream. Overall a decent meal with good pacing and the staff was friendly and polite.
