Bistrot Gavroche

Bistrot Gavroche is in the new restaurant precinct in Chippendale. This restaurant has authentic French feel, which is a credit to the owner Lionel. The restaurant is decorated in French bistro style with black and white patterned tiles and brass fittings.

The choux pastry was amazing; it was crisp, brittle and melted in your mouth.
