  • Trish Farrar

This is exceptional French food - probably among the best outside Paris. Our French class has been there for lunch on several occasions and never been disappointed. I adore brains and this is probably the only restaurant in Sydney that serves them- beautifully! All the other offerings are superb too. Make a special visit! More

  • Evan Darnley-Pentes

Wow! You have to try this place. Best French food I've had in Sydney all year. And we nearly didn't go here for dinner because the menu graphic design wasn't great. I'm so glad we went. The cuisine is perfect. I recommend sharing the 450g Truffled Black Angus steak with a couple of sides. Creme brulee is exceptional too.

  • Victoria Ginnane

We had the bouillabaisse last night and, wow, it was so delicate and delicious. Generous amounts of perfectly cooked seafood including mussels, king prawns, scallops, cuttlefish, clams, white fish etc. Well priced too. We were so impressed and will definitely be back. More

Just had dinner here for the first time tonight and it was such a great eating experience. The duck was ah-mazing and my partner's steak was nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked. We will definitely be back to try the other dishes on your menu!

  • Nick Green

We went to this restaurant about a month ago for Sunday night dinner. It looked like all the food was pre-prepared, microwaved and re-fried before being served - especially given that the whole restaurant was being run by 1 person. Food was

  • Grahame Colditz

I have been here twice. Please be aware I am vegetarian and they are not. The staff are lovely. The vegetarian food is excruciatingly bad. The truffle arancini balls are inedible, dry nuggets of doom. The vegetarian crepes are a disgrace. I

  • Kerry Boerma

Food was just fair. Presentation pretty ordinary but forgivable given the menu mainly consisted of ‘stews or casseroles. The waitress brought out the mains before clearing the entree plates and had no idea what item she was serving. But to

  • Paul Ellercamp

What a discovery! La Saveur really lived up to its name. The flavours are drool-inducing. Sydney needs more little French restaurants, places where you can walk in off the street and enter a cosy little space in provincial France, perhaps

  • Michael Allen

At last I have found a perfect everyday French restaurant - a modest menu with beautifully cooked and great to eat meals. I have had three meals and loved everything thus far, the snail starter was up to the best in Paris, the duck a pure

  • robert king

Used a Groupon. Menu was limited compared to voucher. Chicken crepe had too much sauce. Pork loin was overcooked. Lemon crepe tasted like it was covered in lemon cordial. Flavours we're good but overall execution wasn't great. Asked for a

  • Shiraz Isam

Absolutely delicious food. The coq au vin outstanding. The chicken tender and melting in the mouth. Had the good fortune of meeting the chef who has been cooking french cuisine for nearly thirty years. The sauce: pure reduction of stock -

  • Amy K

There weren't many customers on our night so it was quiet for us to enjoy our dinner. Didn't wait too long between each course. The food was delicious and always hot when it came to the table. The food portion size was perfect - not too

  • Don Burns

Great little French cafe tucked away at the end of Darling Street Balmain. Loved the authentic French cuisine and presentation. We were there for lunch on a Saturday and front of house/waiter/chef James was delightful. Will go again and

  • Hana Marra Murra

Good food but only some of it is French. It was delicious though, we went for dinner and i would highly recommend both the steaks and the lamb ragout pasta. The waiters working were hovering over us waiting to take our plates. Put your

  • Margie Clay

Fantastic little cafe/restaurant. Just opened and doing everything right. My friend and I had the lunch special last Friday - choice of 2 soups and a pasta or risotto. I had the vegetarian lasagne - one of the best I have ever eaten -

  • Tim Lester

V old fashioned but classic French food at good prices. It has a local following, for sure. It is the kind of place for dates who know each other well. But pretty good for families too. A great thing: It is BYO. Yes, in Balmain. More

  • John Dela Cruz

The food is ok for an average meal. I would not come here for a special occasion though. Unfortunately their price point is toward a special occasion. The seafood flavour is overpowered by the cheese More

  • Denis Goodwin

Very average and not very authentic french cuisine. I have been here a few times because friends like it but I think it is overrated and not very french. There are better alternatives in the area. More

  • Clara Kim

It is a very good restaurant with authentic French and German cuisine. Especially fresh salads and smooth steaks are fantastic.Friendly staff and cozy and clean atmosphere are also good.

  • Jamie Haffey

Pretty good value for money. Service was OK but the guy probably could have used an extra extra set of hands. Not sure just how French the whole menu was but food was tasty regardless.

  • Jason Jung

The friendly staff, cozy atmosphere and hearty food well exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic French meal in the heart of Balmain.

  • Sheriar Pestonji

This little French restaurant never disappoints. The food from entres to mains to desserts and even side dishes are awesome. Highly recommend this BYO restaurant. More

  • Ailee Li

My friend and I were attracted by the desert on the table outside. LA SAVEUR is a new restaurant here, i am so glad that I came in and tried the cafe and the desert.

  • Phelix Baxter

Excellent. A satisfying, quirky, paired-back restaurant with a moreish selection of dishes that does very well for itself. The dessert items could use some refining.
