Bistro Sousou

Ask the Fitzroy dining crowd where to find the ultimate midweek ritual, and they’ll point you straight to this bustling Gertrude Street fixture. Bistro Sousou nails that effortless Parisian energy—cozy, kinetic, fiercely authentic. Textbook French classics, prepared *comme il faut*. Bubbling baked Camembert. Rich Coquilles St Jacques. The kitchen’s *cuisson* is absolute precision—delivering towering, share-worthy Chateaubriand and a flawless steak frites. Those in the know book specifically for the Wednesday duck and Pinot Noir special—juicy, pink, rendered to perfection. Grab a window seat. Watch the Fitzroy world go by. Charming French-speaking staff keep the wine flowing even when the dining room hits peak capacity. Finish with a crackling crème brûlée or a decadent chocolate lava cake. Pure bistro brilliance.
