This high end French restaurant is a welcoming blend of nostalgia and modernity, where high quality home dining allows guests to eat in style, but still let down their guard.

With Victoria Harbour laid out through double-height floor to ceiling windows, the main lounge has been designed to blend rather than compete. The refined olive palette creates a sense of tranquility and the scheme is decorative in a subtle, architectural way: rich carpeting, textured stone tiling and ornate wrought iron detailing contrast with pared down Gallic-inspired furniture.

Stealing the show and layering the space is the restaurant's oversized motif, where hand-beaten wrought iron and textured glass meet in a series of modern screens inspired by antique French windows.
