Book NowAbout Bistro Voliere
Bistro Voliere brings unpretentious Parisian dining to St Kilda inside the grand heritage walls of The George. Snag a window seat overlooking Fitzroy Street and settle in over crusty baguette, saucisson, and garlicky snails. The kitchen sticks to time-honored bistro cooking done right—think tender duck confit, rich beef bourguignon, and steak frites paired with carafes of Côtes du Rhône. Midweek crowds flock here for weekly rituals like Thursday steak night and rich Wednesday cassoulet. For dessert, order the crêpes Suzette, finished tableside with a burst of flame and warm citrus liqueur.
- Tableside Flambé Crêpes Suzette: Citrus crêpes soaked in liqueur are flambéed right at your table with theatrical flair.
- Weekly Themed Evenings: Bistro standards anchor the week, from Thursday steak frites to Wednesday cassoulet.
- Heritage Setting on Fitzroy Street: High tables in the historic George building overlook the buzz of Fitzroy Street.

Classic desserts and traditional French starters
Crêpes Suzette
The crêpes themselves were silky, buttery, properly soaked in boozy citrus, and utterly unapologetic about it.
Baggage Claim Philosopher Crème Brûlée
The crème brûlée was equally superb and mercifully un-messed-with. A proper crack on the sugar, not a polite tap, but a satisfying shatter that lets you know you’re in capable hands.
Baggage Claim Philosopher Fondant au Chocolat
Chocolate fondant was yummy
R. Saucisson
I had the saucisson and baguette as an entree and this was so addictive.
