As a main, I ordered the beef cheeks which absolutely fell to pieces under the slightest pressure from my fork. To have used a knife on the beef cheeks would have been offensive to how well it was cooked and completely unnecessary! While I did not get the set 3 course menu, it appeared delicious and good value for money. The majority of staff that I spoke to were French, which added to the overall ambiance of the restaurant. Would definitely recommend it!

Whilst at C'est Bon last night with my wife and 2 year old daughter, we experienced probably the best example of restaurant service in a very long time. It was a very busy evening and you could tell the staff were working overtime yet they were genuinely aware that it was taking longer than normal to bring our meals (sometimes that's all you want). When my rib eye arrived, I noticed that it was more medium than medium rare and although it was quite tasty, I mentioned it to the waiter and within 5 minutes he had another plate with a medium-rare eye filet for me. By the end of the evening, our daughter was getting restless so we had to unfortunately give dessert a miss and asked for our bill which arrived 3 mins later with a chocolate mouse on the house for us to eat quickly whilst they processed our payment. <br/ <br/ So whilst great food can easily be undermined by bad service, it is also true that great service can easily overcome minor mistakes. This is definitely a restaurant worth visiting and justifiably the best in Cairns.l<br/
