About Le Splendide

South Yarra’s slice of nocturnal Paris trades phone screens for red velvet, live music, and cold martinis. At the door, stickers go over camera lenses to keep the room entirely unplugged—no filming, no glowing feeds. Regulars pop in for a post-dinner nightcap along Toorak Road, settling in over rare vintage pours, whiskies, and classic French plates sent straight from the adjacent France-Soir kitchen, from beef tartare to duck rillettes.

  • Screen-Free Policy: Adhesive stickers placed over phone camera lenses at the door enforce a strict no-photo policy for an unplugged, discrete evening.
  • France-Soir Plates: Classic bistro bites—including beef tartare, duck rillettes, and oysters—arrive straight from the neighbouring France-Soir kitchen.
  • Curated Pours & Live Sets: Live music pairs with crisp martinis, rare vintage wines, and an extensive whisk(e)y selection.

Before you head over

Key tips on door entry, timing, and menu highlights for your visit

  • Prepare for the Camera-Sticker Policy

    Expect staff to place adhesive stickers over your phone cameras at the door to maintain a discreet, screen-free atmosphere without photography.

  • Plan Around Peak Door Queues

    Capacity inside the bar fills quickly during peak evening hours, leading to potential door waits, so arrive earlier in the evening to secure a table smoothly.

  • Order Bistro Dishes from France-Soir

    Make the most of the bar menu by ordering French bistro classics like oysters, duck rillettes, and tartare prepared directly by neighboring France-Soir.
