I went to C'est Bon for a Christmas party in 2006. I thought the food would be good being french and all, but what i got exceeded my expectations by miles. I had the seafood souffle for the entree and it just melted in my mouth. Absolutely delicious! For the main course I had turkey with cranberry sauce. The meat was so tender I could cut it with my fork. Then, for dessert, I had the Christmas log. BEST DESSERT EVER! It was like a bomb of flavour went off in my mouth. Definitely one to visit.

We had been looking forward to trying C'est bon for sometime. On a whim we dropped by and the very friendly staff squeezed us in. The waitress did say that the normal chef/owner was away but his replacement was very very good.
The atmosphere was pleasant and both waitresses proved themselves efficient, knowledable and delightful. So C'est Bon had passed the first test with flying colours red, white and blue service...excellent.
We ordered entree which arrived very quickly. I had the capachio and Robyne the scallops. The scallops were particularly good. For mains I ordered the rabbit and she the duck. Both were very ordinary I'm affraid to say. The rabbit was over cooked and way too dry for my taste. The sauce though was very good. Same story for the duck, dry. Dessert was soufle and was ok. We finished with coffee, good and tea was ok (hint don't use the coffee machine water for tea) but no C'est Bon chocolates.
I got the distinct impression the waitress was aware of the lower quality of the night's fare. BUT despite this and because of other rave reviews we'll be back when the main man is on board. So service; 9/10(lost a point for the chocolates) food 5/10 mostly for the sauces.

I dined at C'est Bon on Christmas Eve and was delighted by the warm, friendly and attentive service, excellent wine recommendations and supurb food. The atmosphere is lovely, the menu pricing was very reasonable and I highly recommend dining there!

A real Success Story indeed!
I have known Michel Bonnet for over 30 years, and Amelie when she was only a baby. When reading all the reviews and media critiques, I am not at all surprised by the overwelming and justified accolades, just very impressed! You could say that Michel has always had some " je ne sais quoi" meaning something very French about savoir faire, and I am so pleased that Amelie is following his legacy. Bravo Amelie and papa.

My Husband took me to C'est Bon for a romantic dinner last night. I am a bit sceptic about restaurants as I lke to eat something better than I can cook at home. Every part of the experience was delightful, the waitress, the food, the atmosphere....I felt like we were somewhere in Europe again and the food was superb. Every piece of food in my meal was a sensation.

My wife and I spent her 40th birthday at C'est Bon and enjoyed a fabulous evening of fine food, excellent service and a welcoming ambience. This restaurant serves what we feel is some of the best French food in Australia at an unbelievably reasonable cost. Chef and his staff, please move to Perth!

Merci beaucoup

Allan & Yvonne
