Chez Maurice et Linda - BALGOWLAH

Brains, snails, offal, onion soup - all French, all tasty with the right accompaniments . Then again, the Beef Wellington, The Steak au poivre , the rack of lamb, the Duck L''Orange are all traditional French fare - all cooked well but nothing particularly special. At $50 for 2 courses and $60 for 3 courses, it is reasonably priced but the disappointing feature of the night was how many tables they managed to pack into the small space (about 3 or 4 too many, I would say).. This meant constantly talking with raised voices to be heard. This also provided a problem for a service squeezing and reaching over etc - but at least it was provided with a degree of charm and humour.

I know this restaurant has been around for 30 years or so, but it has maintained the excellence in food and service.It couldn't be better.Seafood pancake to start, following by Beef Wellington and then cheese & fruit to finish.Great value. B.Y.O. drinks. Not licensed.Best to phone and book

This is your typical suburban French restaurant..The food is a decent French feed for the price. The seafood pancakes are always worth a try..as well as their nightly specials..My only criticism is the tables are too close together and there is only one person serving, which makes it a bit hard to order, especially when its busy.I suggest you turn up for a table after 8 that way all of the early birds have ordered and are probably on desert leaving you and your friends to get served in the not so manic manor.Saying that the free pate is a great touch and the food is always above. par.Give it a try..you might be pleasantly surprised.

We go there at least once a month. The food is magnificent, the price is reasonable, and the staff and chef are amazing. With the visit.

This is one of our locals and it's about 4 years between visits. The menu is quite classic, with some variations. Our jovial waiter was on the ball and made us feel welcome. The food was as good as some we've had in France and it brought back fond memories of our time there. It's a great family style atmosphere, a bit like going to dinner at a friend's home.
