French Restaurants in Sydney and NSW

French cuisine is much more than just snails (or l’escargot, if you please), frogs’ legs and baguette. France is a country with a rich history and passion for the culinary arts and, as a result, it is also home to a myriad of regional and national cuisine.
Luckily although France is a little bit far to travel for a great meal, the cuisine has travelled and French favourites like quiche Lorraine,foie gras and, yes, l’escargot are available all over Australia. Bon appétit!

Here are some of the best French restaurants. Click here for Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
