Gavroche is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere transported us straight to Paris — warm lighting, elegant décor, and a buzzing yet intimate vibe. The service was outstanding: attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling rushed. The food was nothing short of exceptional. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with authentic French flavours. The ingredients were fresh and high-quality, and the balance of richness and finesse in the cooking was spot on. Whether it was the classic mains, indulgent sides, or perfectly crafted desserts, everything felt carefully considered and executed with love. Pairing it all with their wine list made the evening even more special. Overall, Gavroche delivers the perfect blend of ambience, service, and incredible food. A true dining experience rather than just a meal. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic French bistro experience in Sydney!

We recently had the journey menu and had a wonderful time. Service was great, they greeted us at the door quickly. We really enjoyed the mussels and most of the courses. We found the onion soup and steak frites a little bit too salty. My partners’ scallop tasted a bit off but mine was fine. It was fun to have the dessert cart pushed to us and I appreciate watching the server toast the sugar on the creme brûlée. It can get very loud inside when full but overall it was a great experience.

Very lucky to be living close to this restaurant as I had a fantastic dinner here last night. The two specials for the night intrigued me - cultured Japanese quail soup and steak. Decided to give them both a go! The steak was cooked wonderfully, and soup was nice. The cultured quail - super tasty, unlike anything I've ever had before - really complemented the dishes! We also had the duck confit, which was cooked to perfection. All the food was really flavourful & balanced, and combined with the elegant atmosphere, it made for a great night.

A Memorable Dining Experience with Some Service Caveats: We recently enjoyed a wonderful dining experience at Gavroche. The food was absolutely fantastic. We opted for the set menu with matching wine, and each course impressed — from the escargot and Hokkaido scallop to the perfectly cooked steak with pan-seared foie gras. The dessert was also a delight and rounded off a very satisfying meal. However, the matching wine left much to be desired. The pour sizes resembled a wine tasting at a cellar door — very minimal. For the additional price, it would be more appropriate to label it as a “wine tasting” rather than “wine matching.” Another downside was the seating arrangement. We arrived early for dinner and were seated in a section that quickly became overcrowded, despite half the restaurant being empty. None of the vacant tables had “reserved” signage, yet when we asked to be moved, the request was firmly declined by a staff member whose demeanor felt more suited to a casual diner than a fine dining setting. It certainly didn’t set the right tone. That said, a special mention goes to Estelle and Arthur, who offered professional, attentive service and truly elevated our evening. Thanks to them, the experience ended on a high note.
