Even though it was a buffet, everything was prepared perfectly. I appreciated that when my family and I entered the restaurant, we were immediately asked what kind of coffee we wanted, and our coffees arrived at the table before most of us had even sat down.

Otherwise, you could be forgiven for mistaking the room’s retro sophistication for the dining room of a gentleman’s club, its tones of earthy brown sedate and discrete. It carries the hallmarks of the Sofitel’s sophistication, rather than the earthiness of a traditional French bistro.The cuisine at Bistro on 3 is ‘classic French’ with a modern Australian twist. It follows the trend of many French bistros in offering lighter fare and foods on trend for their health conscious clientele. In fairness, though, it could be said that Bistro on 3 has been inspired by French bistros, transcending their earthiness in the Sofitel’s inimitable way, to another level of dining: classic French cuisine for the sophisticated new world diner.

The manager warned us before we took a table that there may be a delay due to a rush on the kitchen. We greatly appreciated her honesty and the choice to take on the wait. We are glad we did and appreciated even more that the wait was minimal. Our thanks and compliments especially to the chef. We could not fault our meals and the staff were delightful. One of the most delicious meals, a great night, and quality food. Thank you.

The food was delicious—I had the pork, which was cooked to perfection, and the slow-cooked beef, which was also very tasty. For dessert, I enjoyed a wonderful apple pie that was a great way to conclude the meal.

The only criticism would be they need some soft lighting rather than the bright white lights. Would make it feel more comfortable and relaxing. But overall loved it. PS Google says the restaraunt is closed after 3pm. Not the case.. it is open for dinner also as we found out!
