Our second visit to Bouillon L’Entrecôte somehow managed to surpass the first—an impressive feat in itself. From the moment we arrived, everything felt effortlessly exceptional. The staff are nothing short of phenomenal: warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do, striking that perfect balance between professionalism and hospitality. The atmosphere is flawless—buzzy yet intimate, refined without ever feeling stiff—and contributes beautifully to the overall experience. A particularly special touch was being seated at the very same table as our first visit—something we didn’t request, but a wonderful and unexpected surprise that made the evening feel personal and memorable. Most importantly, the food is outstanding. This is some of the best French cooking we’ve experienced, and that’s saying a lot after extensive travel throughout France. Confident, classic, and deeply satisfying, every dish reminds you why French cuisine is so revered. Bouillon L’Entrecôte is the kind of place that doesn’t just meet expectations—it quietly exceeds them, again and again. A rare gem, and one we’ll return to without hesitation.
A good evening spent down at this little restaurant. Gradually trying out all the French restaurants in Sydney. :) Not a great start with a very loudly laughing patron at another table.. ...but not too much to be done there. Impressive and very French menu. Our eyes drawn instantly to the foie gras pôelé. One starter chosen. I noticed the prawn vol au vent and that was the second in the bag. Mains were both the dry aged striploin. The starters arrived pretty quickly. Both were fantastic. The prawn vol au vent surrounded by a rich bisque was outstanding. The foie gras was beautifully seared and resting on top of a well toasted brioche alongside it's accompaniments. Unctuous doesn't quite describe this. The combination of the incredients and the mouth-feel was just sensational. Starters done, it was on to the mains. Not too much to describe here. Very well cooked, good quality steak alongside some equally well cooked, well seasoned frites. Simple. Executed perfectly. We soldiered on and decided to try some desserts. Some of the largest profiteroles I've had (and Ive had a few in my time) and a Baba au Gueridon. Both were excellent. The profiteroles were light, the pastry just right, the vanilla ice cream tasty and the chocolate sauce rich and luxurious. The baba was light and the rum syrup sweet and alcoholic enough to bring a big smile to my face. The only downside to the whole thing was that the tables for two feel cramped rather than intimate. Definitely somewhere to come back to.. ...there are still so many starters to try!
Great authentic french food. The duck confit is definitely our favorite. It’s juicy and has a crunch. The potato puree is perfect. Definitely recommend adding his dish!! The Today, Our Charcoal Grilled Dry Aged 60 days+Striploin on the Bone is superb. Simply delicious and you will want to come back for more:) the apple dessert was a beautiful taste in our mouth. I mean you can describe it as beautiful firework of wonder. The French onion soup was okay. The tartar was a wonderful dish that is good size. The sandwich was good but order medium for the meat temperature. Definitely great place and expensive. The caviar is just right and served with toasted bread.
Visited this place based on good recommendations for lunch! Top notch table service - my server was very thorough in explaining all the options in the menu and giving her honest opinion on what was best for me and the time of the day as well as the perfect wine pairing. Was spoilt for choice but settled with the charcoal-grilled sirloin steak with garlic bread on the side. Their signature “secret sauce” is extremely addictive. Nice touch of the steak served over open flame on table to keep it warm taking as much time savouring every bite. A very generous serving of chips and veges on the side to complement. Massive range of full-bodied French wines to complement the meals! But be sure to ask for their recommendation on the best food-wine pairings! Great, intimate setting too! Lots interesting trinkets on display!
