PARIS GO BISTRO - Rathdowne St, Carlton

Bonsoir!

Tonight we ate at Paris GO. A French Bistro with the most delightful customer service! The restaurant was recommended to Anna by her sister, and for very good reasons.

Paris GO is close to our homes and extremely convenient if you opt to catch a tram and have a few Vins!


Stacey, Anna and I have come up with a nifty rating system.. (we think so anyway : ) 

Atmosphere - 3.5 Stars (Out of a potential 5 Stars)
/The music was pleasant and appropriate. It started out too faint then eventually got switched off which was disappointing.
/We booked for 6pm, so given, it was quiet at this time. When we finished up at around 9pm, almost all the tables were occupied. We were surprised by the number of people at a French restaurant in Carlton on a Wednesday night. In typical style, we tried to establish which couples were on a first date, who made a reservation and which tables were walk-ins hehe!

Food - 3 Stars
/The dessert was a stand out! We happily indulged in two servings of Creme brulee (caramelised cream custard) and Profiteroles filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with hot chocolate! Need we say more.. except that Stacey licked the plate clean!
/Although the Terrine de canard maison (home made duck terrine) is an entree, it's an extremely generous portion - We suggest you share this one, it's a delicious accompaniment to the fresh bread they give you!

Service - 5 Stars!!
/Julien our Waiter was outstanding, charismatic, chatty and very funny! He also demonstrated great attention to detail and efficiency. Fingers crossed Julien is working when/if you visit Paris Go!

Design - 3 Stars
/Simple with eclectic elements. The scattered French prints, red velvet bench seats and detailed green ceiling are aspects worth highlighting!

Pricing - 4 Stars
/Very reasonably priced for what was on offer. Entree, main, dessert (each) and a few wines worked out to $75 p/person.

Recommendation
We had an enjoyable evening at Paris Go. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is interested in dining at a small, quaint French restaurant in Carlton with good food and fabulous service!

Au Revoir!
