Claire's Kitchen at le Salon

Oxford Street’s most unapologetically theatrical dining room. Think dripping art deco chandeliers, flickering candelabras, and a sultry energy that feels plucked straight from a Parisian cabaret. Sydney’s most demanding francophiles are quietly securing booths here for the sheer culinary spectacle. The kitchen executes la cuisine bourgeoise with serious flair—silky duck liver parfait, a dizzyingly rich three-cheese soufflé, and perfectly seasoned steak tartare. The undisputed star? A masterful Canard en Croûte—a golden, flaky duck pie that absolutely demands your attention. Throw in authentically warm, French-accented hospitality and the occasional towering croquembouche for private soirées upstairs, and you have a Surry Hills institution that genuinely delivers. C'est magnifique.
