Reviews - Chez Frederic
Reviews summary
The restaurant received mixed reviews from customers. Some praised the food, with standout dishes like the braised lamb and ravioli receiving high praise. The service was also noted to be polite and accommodating, with staff going the extra mile in some cases. However, there were complaints about the long wait times for food, forgetful staff, and issues with noise levels in the restaurant. Some also found the prices to be high for the quality of food received. Overall, the restaurant seems to have potential with its interesting menu and cozy ambiance, but improvements in service efficiency and noise control could enhance the dining experience for customers.
Was Evy Borges at Chez Frederic a mag?
Loved it. It's got a laid back vibe, industrial kind of feel, some diy feels, which must help keep it affordable.It's not a large restaurant and it's popular, so it pays to book.We went as guests of a huge Chez fan, she loves the marinara and it didn't disappoint. All our meals were lovely, service was friendly and we'd be happy to return to try some other dishes. View all feedback.
What Jess the Blessed dislikes about Chez Frederic:
Food was a bit inconsistent and lacking flavour. The cheese bread was good, but pasta was disappointing with no sauce on the special, and ravioli unevenly cooked with pieces still thick/chewy in areas. View all feedback.

The food was very fresh and there are some very interesting turns to traditional favorites
We always love it when we dine at Chez Fred's. Amazing pastas, great Mains and the friendly staff always have great recommendations
What a great place to eat. The bruschetta and chilli jam chicken meatballs were delicious and reasonably priced. Topped off with a nice glass of local red! We will be back!
Covid update: went back on 22 August. Marinara pasta still awesome, the cheese bread was not as good and the carbonara had suffered as well. Still a 5 star rating given the marinara pasta, great wines and service. This was our second trip to chez Frederic. We love the four cheese bread, the seafood marinara pasta and the temparinallo wine. The lasagne was very hearty and the carbonara is sublime, but nothing compares to the generosity, freshness and great (spicy) flavours of the marinara. Serving sizes are huge and wine pours are generous.
Not being from the Canberra area, I found this restaurant after a google and saw great reviews, so booked a table. It was very easy to get a table on a Sunday night. The few staff that were there were friendly; the chef even brought us our table water and was so nice. The food was incredible highly recommend the duck fat roast potatoes! The atmosphere was super chill too. Highly recommend this place!

This restaurant is incredible! The gluten free ravioli is the best I've ever tasted. The service was also excellent. I will definitely be returning!
The food was delicious. The service was very friendly but inconsistent. It seemed like there weren't enough waiters working, but we understood the difficulties in finding them. We will definitely return, but perhaps not on a Saturday night.
We had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. We waited over an hour for our food, but after only receiving our drinks and garlic bread (which was just okay), we had to leave due to hunger. There was no communication about the long wait times, and it seemed like many other diners were also frustrated. It was evident that the restaurant was understaffed and couldn't handle the demand. Unfortunately, we won't be returning in the future.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Casual laid back ambience. Delicious food. Arincini balls were delicious. Pastas too. 2nd visit by our group. And we'll definitely go again

It has been a while since visiting Chez Frederic. The restaurant itself is unchanged and has a nice clean decor with ornamental plants on and around tables. The food flavours is good, but I have some lack of knowledge of French Pasta. Previously the portions were very generous, which was good for our big appetites. They are now a reasonable size but it could disappoint some of the previous customers who expect a large serving. I plan to go back and try the lamb shanks next time.
We went yesterday- Saturday .The food was amazing and would go back for the food again. However, we had a waitress who took our order and she was quite rude. Luckily, the food made up for her extremely poor service. She had no smile and we felt rather unpleasant after she took our order. However, there was a waiter, he was really nice and he looked like the boss/manager there.
Chicken prosciutto ravioli with creamy mushrooms....yummmmmmilciouly cooked to perfection. Thank you Chef Frederic staff. Awesome service

Very tasty pasta dishes and the lamb and barley? Dish was fantastic Service was very average and tables not very comfortable Probably better for takeaway as the food was very good

I had an excellent experience at this restaurant, with both the service and the food being top-notch. The staff were well-informed about coeliac disease, allowing me to enjoy a safe meal. I ordered the carbonara, and it was fantastic. The gluten-free pasta was so delicious that I couldn’t believe it was gluten-free. When I confirmed with the waitstaff, they confidently assured me that my dish was indeed gluten-free.
I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The staff is truly passionate about preparing delicious and safe gluten-free dishes, taking special care to separate preparation and cooking areas. The gluten-free pasta they serve is fantastic—both my partner, who has celiac disease, and I, who am gluten intolerant, believe it’s the best in town. I highly recommend this place, and we find ourselves returning regularly.
The most incredible pasta… to die for!! The guy Joey makes the gluten free pastas and boy am I grateful! Eaten here many times and always incredible! Lucky to have this place
I ordered a takeout spaghetti bolognese, but they didn't label it as gluten-free, so I had to call and check. Unfortunately, the spaghetti was dry and lacked flavor.
Amazing chic Italian place and the chef makes the pasta right from scratch. Haven’t even had amazing gluten free ravioli!

I haven't enjoyed ravioli this delicious in a long time, especially since my diagnosis. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
We had a wonderful anniversary dinner featuring delicious gluten-free pasta and a variety of other menu choices.
Hand made gf ravioli and spaghetti pasta! The restaurant was very accommodating and aware of allergies. The food was DELICIOUS! Highly recommend all foodies to try.
Joey prepares all the gluten-free pasta himself and served us during our visit. The gluten-free pasta was absolutely delicious, and there were so many options to choose from. It was fantastic—I can't recommend it highly enough!
