10/10We recently held a dinner at Paris Go to celebrate a milestone birthday. The staff at Paris Go were friendly and courteous and their attentiveness was second to none - thank you! The menu choices were many and varied and as always, the quality was magnifique. We highly recommend Paris Go for wonderful French cuisine and ambience.

10/10It's always a pleasure to dine here - everything meets my high expectations and I am never disappointed. Ambience, decor food and location all work so well. Well done to Paris Go.

8/10Loved our window seat very nice ambiance and vibe. It was a lovely night and the oysters were great. The mussel and leak soup needed more mussels and a bit more of a homemade feel to it. But still yum

10/10Always consistent quality with generous portion sizes. Attentive service with no pressure to upsell. The lamb shoulder was tender and the taste of beef Bourguignon robust. Try to lettuce and Roquefort. Outstanding!

10/10This was my second time dining at Paris Go Bistro, and once again it was a fantastic experience. The food is first rate French cuisine, the service is friendly yet impeccable, and the whole night was so enjoyable. It's a very welcoming atmosphere, while still being a little bit special. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food, and there is an extensive wine list, with something delicious at all price levels. I can't recommend it enough, and will definitely dine there again.

7.5/10Always can be depended upon to deliver a genuine French bistro experience. The food is well prepared and true to the style that the restaurant aims to be. Byo wine is a bonus and the corkage charge of $16.00 a bottle extremely reasonable. Service was a bit slow, but as we were in for a leisurely dinner with no time constraints this really was not an issue for us on the night.

8/10So reliable and authentic. Wonderful to have a genuine French bistrot - 100% operated by French staff - right here in Melbourne. The menu takes you right back to France.

10/10Paris Go Bistro is our go-to for a special occasion or just because we want to spoil ourselves. The dishes are deliciously French, fresh, generous - leaving you feeling most satisfied. They have a great and varied menu with excellent specials that always also delight. The staff are welcoming, friendly, attentive without being overbearing - total professionals. Ambiance is lovely, especially as you can hear staff speaking to one another in their native French language - you feel like you are in Paris! They go to a lot of trouble for special days too - last night the ceiling was covered with red helium filled balloons for Valentine's Day! Just beautiful. GO to Paris Go!!!

8.5/10Paris Go remains one of our favourite haunts. Intimate,just a little luxe. Love the spoken French and their clientele . The frites are to die for. A little hard to park . Traffic to get there abominable hoever

10/10We came from Sydney on a friend’s recommendation and were delighted with service, food quality and choice and even details like temperature of plates to suit the meal and complimentary baguette. Would go again to try another dish as it was hard to choose.

9.5/10This restaurant has been around for a long time and I used to walk past it thinking to try it. Managed to finally try it and was not disappointed, the food was not overly salty and flavours were well balanced! Will absolutely return for a second visit!

10/10One of my absolute favourites and arguably the closest you can get to a true Parisian dining experience in Melbourne although, dare I say it, the service is much more friendly at ParisGo. All the traditional classics from France with quality Australian ingredients, I have never been disappointed and am always delighted by this intimate and dependable little gem.

5.5/10We have been many times to Paris Go/,My wife was salivating over the mixed oysters which is her favourite dish. Sadly when they arrived rather than in their shells on a plate which is how they were aways served (as late as last September )they were on a china dish with spaces fro the oysters. The oysters were very small unlike the larger ones previously. The wine we selected came in two half bottles astray had run out of regular bottles! As is was a special occasion for my wife the oysters set the tone for not being happy and my steak was to the normal size! When paying my bill the waiter said is this your first time here. Given he served us at my wife's birthday in September and that we had been three times in the past twelve months and been going there for 15 years it was the final straw. The night felt very different and disappointing!

A Little Piece of Paris in Carlton
If it's some Parisian panache you're after, this is the place. Think outside the Italian box next time you're in Carlton and go for a bit of French flair instead. You'll get just what you'd expect from a French institution—style, service, mouth-watering food and a wide-ranging selection of wines. Best dish? There are probably too many to mention, and the daily specials are always worth considering. The charcuterie platter is always a winning start.
The duck, oysters, mussels and steak tartare are regular favourites, too. Oh and don't forget the pommes frites either. The menu features all of the old French standbys you'd expect—and want—served in a warm, crowded-but-cosy environment. Great place to celebrate a special occasion or bring a date or out-of-town guests. If you want to impress, that is. This is the type of French restaurant you'll keep coming back to. And you'll love it even more each time, especially once you try the desserts. Best dish: steak tartare
