History:
Bistro Ortolan was launched in 2006 in the heart of Leichhardt and soon after received its first Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide hat in 2008, followed by two hats in 2009, 2010 and 2011, 2012.
The menu features contemporary French food, combining traditional techniques with fresh flavours, such as the crepinette of pink snapper with seared Hervey Bay scallops, foie gras butter and baby greens. To match the meals, the wine list has been chosen with accessibility in mind, including plenty of French wines at good prices.
True to his origins, Chef Paul McGrath insists on top quality ingredients favouring those that are organic or bio-dynamic. Together Paul and Jenny present a memorable dining experience of contemporary French fare. ...read more

Spectacular and inventive food, intimate surroundings, good service....can't get much better in Sydney. Had the degustation and was consistently impressed with every immaculately presented course. The only reason it won't be a super regular place to eat is it's location, the $50 cab ride there and back from Alexandria definitely bumps up the cost of the night, which is a real shame because the dinner itself is very reasonable! Four thumbs up from me.
I stumbled into this restaurant one night by chance with my boyfriend and have compared every other restaurant with it ever since.
The food was treated with alot of love and attention to detail. The flavours were full and rich but not heavy. Each dish was a piece of 3--d art. The chef is a true artists!
Service was impeccable- professional and efficient yet warm whilst being friendly without being too familiar.
It is truly amazing. We had three courses each with wine. Although the bill was not small it was well worth the budget blow out! Really recommend this place to anyone looking to celebrate a special occassion - or for no reason at all!
This is one of the best French restaurants I have been to. While the meals were not large, they were cooked to perfection. The meat was tender and the vegetables warm and full of flavour. The service was great, with the wait staff being very attentive but not annoyingly so.
