Favourite local restaurants of top Melbourne chefs and Good Food Guide reviewers Michael Harry Photo: Joe Armao Ben Shewry, Attica France-Soir is just super consistent, and that's an underrated commodity in restaurants. We focus so much on newness but this place does not vary at all and holds its standard so well. They import a lot of wine and the wines by the glass are excellent. I love the room and watching all the people who come in – you'll see everyone from young couples on a date to people in their 80s just sitting down for dinner at 9pm or 10pm. There's nowhere else in Australia quite like it.
