Bisou Bisou

French for ‘kiss kiss,’ Bisou Bisou comes to us from the Ghanem Group, the team behind the likes of Donna Chang, Boom Boom Room and Blackbird Bar, Dining & Events. The interiors are seriously luxe, all the way from the cocktail bar at the entrance, which features red velvet bar stools and a curved bar, to the moody, Parisian dining area, where marble tables, floral lounges and art deco tiling come together to create a cosy, vibrant space. 

Start your journey through the streets of Paris at the bar, where concoctions like the Mezcal Rogue, featuring strawberry, mezcal, Cointreau, chamberyzette, rhubarb, lime and agave, await, along with a lengthy list of wines. Once you’ve got your tastebuds raring to go, take a seat in the dining room for their recently revamped menu, which is all about warming and comforting everyday French cuisine.

Proving that French fare isn't just limited to fine dining, the new line up of eats includes the likes of pot-cooked mussels in your choice of sauce (we'd be going the mariniere, with white wine, garlic, shallots, parsley and butter), chicken liver parfait with prune jam and toasted brioche, steak frites and their signature La Rôtisserie whole or half roasted chicken. There's even a few more modern Australian classics—think a saucy bacon cheeseburger, pork schnitzel and grilled barramundi. 

Don't want to dress up for a fancy night out? The Bisou Bisou team also have you covered there with their new takeaway rotisserie chicken boxes. For just $26, you can score a juicy half rotisserie chicken with your choice of two sides and a sauce, ready to take home and eat from the comfort of your couch. Just make sure you order in advance here.
