What people say
Chancery Lane Bistro on Little Collins Street in Melbourne is a classic bistro with an edge, owned by Scott Pickett. The restaurant is perfect for friends, strangers, partners, and lovers. The food is simply divine and the cocktails are expertly crafted. The crème caramel with poached rhubarb is velvety smooth and perfectly balanced. The bartenders have created libations with intriguing twists on classics that suit even the most discerning palates. The En Rouge et Noir with a rum base is equally as naughty as the Mon Chérie that's chocolatey and rich. Newly promoted Senior Sous Chef Alejandro and Head Chef Pak delicately plate at the pass to create dishes like Beef Rossini, a delectable symphony of tender beef, seared foie gras, and truffle-infused decadence. Chancery Lane Bistro also offers seasonal events like their Bastille Day dinner where you can immerse yourself in an evening of sultry elegance while enjoying delicious food and drinks. Don't miss out on their irresistible $3 oysters and $15 flutes of Champagne in the enchanting Le Jardin either!
