Best Friendly French – Le Pelican

Le Pelican is an authentic French bistro situated in an heritage listed Surry Hills sandstone, serving French classics with a modern twist. Enjoy the intimate seating inside or their spacious al fresco setting out back – perfect for a special occasion. The bouillabaisse is a divine broth served with a generous serve of delicate snapper, king prawns and fennel, while le boeuf, an enormous and tender cut of rib-eye – not for the faint of heart. Take advantage of their excellent prix fixe lunchtime options of two courses for $45 or three for $55, and refined wines by carafe. All ingredients are seasonal and locally sourced.
