French restaurants in Brisbane
French restaurants in Brisbane tend to come in two modes: the bistro format — steak frites, duck confit, a tight wine list — and the more ambitious classical or neo-classical rooms that apply French technique to local ingredients. Both have their place. The city's French dining footprint is small but consistent among listed venues.
