About Le Gaulois

Behind a nondescript Blackburn Road shopfront sits unhurried, scratch-made French dining with old-school dining room hospitality. Patrons bring prized bottles from their cellars for BYO night while the floor team attends every linen-topped setting—no QR codes in sight. The kitchen leans directly into rich classics: sizzling escargots drenched in garlic butter, tender duck paired with citrus sauce, and melting scalloped potatoes. Dinner winds down with crêpe Suzette finished tableside in a flash of blue liqueur flame.

  • Flambéed Tableside Dessert: Classic crêpe Suzette arrives tableside in an open blue liqueur flame with vanilla ice cream.
  • BYO Wine Friendly: Diners can pair classic multi-course dinners with special bottles from their own cellar.
  • Classic Floor Service: Attentive front-of-house staff look after every table in a low-noise dining room suited for conversation.

  • Tableside crêpe Suzette flambé

    Dining finishes with crêpe Suzette prepared with a dramatic tableside flambé presentation and served with vanilla ice cream.

    We enjoyed the spectacle of having it arrive in a blue flame as well.

    A small dining room with warm background music keeps background noise manageable so tables can converse effortlessly across generations.

    the volume was low and you could hear one another talk.
