Overview
Bon Ap' Petit Bistro captures the warmth and flavour of traditional French dining and delivers it with unpretentious flair in the heart of Fitzroy. This neighbourhood bistro has become a beloved spot for locals and visitors alike, blending generous hospitality with a menu full of French comfort food and European favourites.
Inside, the venue feels like a charming street-side bistro plucked straight from Montmartre—timber furnishings, vintage posters, candlelight, and soft French tunes set the scene. It’s cosy without being cramped, bustling but never rushed, and always full of life.
The menu champions rustic French classics—think garlicky escargots, beef bourguignon, duck à l’orange, and creamy chicken vol-au-vent—alongside generous cheese boards, crepes, and a rotating list of daily specials. It’s all made with heart and designed to be shared, paired perfectly with a bottle of French red or a carafe of house rosé.
A popular lunch and dinner set menu offers great value, and there’s a solid selection of vegetarian options too. The drinks list leans French, with accessible wines and classic aperitifs that keep the mood light and celebratory.
Bon Ap’ is one of those rare venues that feels festive any night of the week. It’s casual, comforting, and full of personality—a little French escape in one of Melbourne’s most eclectic neighbourhoods.
