Philippe - Melbourne
Philippe
Description
Philippe is a French restaurant that promises a gastro epic evening but falls short of expectations for many diners. The limited and somewhat repetitive menu, along with a confusing wine list, leave patrons feeling uninspired. The food is described as average, with some dishes lacking flavor and creativity. Despite some positive experiences with the food and service, such as excellent dishes and attentive staff, there are also instances of long wait times and feeling ignored. On the other hand, the classic venue offers a refined dining experience with classic dishes and a relaxed ambiance. Some highlights mentioned include fantastic oysters and exceptional rotisserie chicken. For those seeking a more unique dining experience, the restaurant also offers themed dinners with multiple courses and matched wines. In conclusion, Philippe may not fully live up to its promise of a French gastronomic experience, but it still offers a pleasant atmosphere and some standout dishes worth trying.

Food was nice but the service was below average. Our table felt like we were in the way or a problem opposed to ensuring we were comfortable and having a good time. We were often left with empty wine glasses and no drinks and also finished plates that needed to be cleared. We would have happily spent more money on food and wine but the customer service was below average and has left a below average taste in our mouth. Wouldn't rush back in a hurry.

An absolute gem! This French restaurant blew us away with its stunning food and top-notch service. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. The staff were warm, attentive, and made the whole experience feel special. Can’t wait to come back! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
I’ve been looking forward to fare at this restaurant for a long time now, and took the opportunity for my birthday. The food was delicious! The duck was oh, so, good and simply the best duck I’ve had in Melbourne. Great job Philippe!
A very nice French restaurant in the CBD. We enjoyed a great lunch where food was top quality and staff were friendly and the there's a very nice ambience about the place. This is our new favourite French restaurant
