It is amazing how French food has traveled around the world – especially in Australia. Despite a population of only ~100,000, French people’s impact on Melbourne’s culinary scene is undeniable. Because much of Australia’s modern population came over from Europe, the core Melbourne palate is, in essence, a metropolitan blend of various European national cuisines. Naturally, that has led to some of the best-tasting French restaurants being located right near the cozy Carlton suburb.
