Le Voltaire Bistro Francais

I am going to judge purely based on the meal and service and that would be a well deserved 5 star.

I could not fault the food nor the service.
It was quite busy when we came and we were lucky to have the last table available as we were walk-in patrons.

The entree (Liver parfait) was 10/10. Amazing taste, I could lick the plate if no one was around.
For mains, I ordered steak frites, which was 8/10. It was great but steak is steak. I will give it a plus point as the serving of French Fries was a bowl full that I ended up sharing with my husband.

The other main, Kangaroo in Blueberry and Juniper Jus however, was 10/10. The meat was tender and juicy despite how kangaroo meat can be quite tough when not cooked perfectly.
The sauce was to die for. This time I did run my french fries to sweep up the plate clean.

The only minus (i did not factor in to the score) was how stuffy the place was. It was very hot, I am not sure whether the aircon was working and it was quite a hot night.
But with food that good and amazing friendly service from the French monsieur who I assume was the owner, this is easily forgiven.

My husband and I enjoyed a date night at Le Voltaire. The food was exquisite, the atmosphere was intimate and the staff were so welcoming. We booked again for Valentine’s Day and can’t wait to try more of their delicious food and drinks.

Local gem! Loveliest staff, great ambience, great food!:) Bonus: Live Music on a Monday. Highly recommended if you live down this area or visiting.

This is by far one of the best restaurants I have ever come across. Yes they are a bit expensive but it's all worth it because what you buy is what you get. The food is heaven, the staff are great. Very highly recommended.

Monday evening - Food was beyond excellent! Our waiter was friendly and a true professional. The entertainment was Jason Resch who was EXTRAORDINARY! Atmosphere great for a cosy winter's night. Decor - French eclectic - just beautiful with soft lighting and flickering "candles". Our group of 6 thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the evening. Thank you Le Voltaire!

Definitely not fast food or cheap'n'cheerful!

Quality, delivered in style at an honest price.

Great food
Great wine
Great team
Love it!

Lovely French restaurant in Belgrave, we dined here go a romantic dinner to celebrate our Anniversary. The staff were friendly and atmosphere delightful. To start we shared the scollops they were nice but seemed lacking in some seasoning. Mains we had the steak and the lamb rack. Both meals were enjoyed, the side of vegetables cooked perfectly and the fries were simply the best we have ever had. Finished off with chocolate pudding (delicious) and crepe Suzette was nice. Our bill was big but we did have 3 alcoholic drinks each. But we really enjoyed our night so happy to award the 5 stars.

Consistently meets expectations for a most enjoyable dining experience on a Saturday night. Watching your companion's pleasure completes the experience.

Really cool little place. Food was delicious and there's a good range of cocktails and wines (French and local).
There was an acoustic duo in when we went.always a dicey venture in my mind but these guys were excellent. Not overpowering and the style suited the place perfectly.

We tried to celebrate a friend’s birthday. She has dietary requirements and the French waiter could not have been ruder - rolling his eyes and just not listening. We waited over an hour for mains which were all delicious but had to flag him down to order desserts which were all very poor-cold grainy crème brulee with no toffee and disappointing sorbet that seemed to have a cheap store-bought red sauce on top. No tea or coffee offered. This isn’t a cheap restaurant and level of service and attitude to customers should be top notch. All we encountered was an extremely arrogant man. 2 stars given as the mains were good.

Second visit. First time food was perfectly cooked and we had a table away from the other tables. This time we were sandwiched between 2 other tables which I really didn't like.
I would expect more room between tables seeing you are paying premium for your meal. I felt like we were in a fast good outlet to be honest.
My husband had exactly the same as he had eaten the previous time and was really happy qith the food. I however decided to change it around and had the duck. Unfortunately, I felt the duck was over cooked. Not a succulent piece of duck I was imagening. I was disappointed.
It's a lovely little place which connects me to France which I love.
I do feel that you really need to look at your seating plan again. Don't just squash people in to get more money. It's about the experience and the food.
It's up to you to fulfil this for your customers.

Wonderful meals, steak was perfect as requested. Staff was helpful and friendly. Service was excellent. Highly recommended

Everything was perfection. I had the crab souffle and gnocchi.the French 75 the cocktail was YUM! Will definitely make this gem a favourite.

Lovely, local French faire. Terrific service, intimate ambiance, live music to tap along to, and nice food.

A real French experieince, food is not cheap but I think the prices are fair for the high quality.

Fantastic! Elegant! Magnifique! From the prompt kind witty service, to the "best garlic bread ever" (quote from my eldest) to the gourmet cheese to the exquisite crafted main meals and impressive specials menu going beyond the french classics, to the finely balanced desserts and then the live jazz that had us dancing at the table. I thoroughly recommend!

Expensive, but high quality food. Overall, you get what you pay for. Had the Rib-eye with wine sauce, french fries included in price.

Lovely French Restaurant! Wonderful staff, delicious food. Make sure you top up your back account though, very pricey.
We will be back!

Best French restaurant I have been to in years, in or outside the City. Great oysters two ways. The inevitable snails. An wide variety of eclectic specials including one with a Morroccan. Incredible sounding Iles Flottantes as one of the many scrumptious desserts. But if you are going for the Fondunt Chocolate remember to order it straight after finishing your main or you will be waiting an extra 20 minutes for that member of your party to finish, as, as the menu advises it takes an extra 20 minutes to prepare (to it's level of perfection).

Great food & service BUT …
- No vegetables with main meals, had to be ordered separately with extra charge, though they did taste great.
- Main steak meal served with French fries, which are not really French, other potato choice would have been much more authentic.
- Small tables for couples squished together on Valentine’s Day, we almost felt the breath of couples next to us …
- Tip option being specifically mentioned when paying was rude.
Again the food was very tasty.
