François Eatery
Mambourin Marketplace

Bienvenue!

A place for lingering breakfasts, leisurely long lunches, Friday & Saturday night dinners and drinks, or a quick grab-and-go before you wander Mambourin Marketplace. Our European-inspired menu evolves with the seasons, offering flavours both familiar and fresh. With an ambience that is at once relaxed and inviting – welcome to François Eatery!

Reserve your table

At the heart of our kitchen is a simple philosophy: to honour the land we’re on, the seasons we live through, and the stories that a meal allows us to share.

Here, the vibrant flavours of modern Australia meet the depth and tradition of the Old World—a meeting of cultures, climates, and culinary heritage. Every dish reflects our commitment to fresh, local produce, prepared with integrity and imagination.

Together with Executive Chef John MacAllister, we have crafted a menu that celebrates the beauty of the familiar while inviting you to explore something new.

Whether it’s a nod to classic technique or a bold expression of contemporary taste, each plate is designed to evoke comfort, curiosity, and delight.

It is our greatest pleasure to welcome you. We hope this experience brings the same light, warmth, and joy as gathering with loved ones around your own table.
