C'est Bon began in sultry, sweaty Cairns, where despite the odds against it (rich French food isn't usually the first choice in a humid climate) the restaurant became an unrivalled success. Having earned her stripes up north, owner Amelie Bonnet has dived into the viciously competitive Melbourne restaurant scene. Melburnians know French food, both traditional and modern, and aren't afraid to be critical, but C'est Bon's classic cuisine seems to strike the right chords. Amelie Bonnet's father Michel mans the pans with young French ex-pat Thomas Routhieau, producing Gallic classics such as French onion soup and escargots, alongside less common meals such as calves liver with raspberry vinegar sauce. The space continues the French theme with linen and paper-topped tables, bistro chairs and gilt-framed mirrors, but avoids the seething pit of cliches that so many French restaurants fall into.

Chef: Michel Bonnet & Thomas Routhieau
