Step through the doors of Smith St Bistrot and into a culinary time capsule - an ode to Paris' Belle Époque, the city's golden age or food, art and opulence that flourished before World War 1 reshaped the world.

Wednesday 25th March 2026, 6.30pm $135 per person

The menu revives dishes once served in legendary institutions such as Café de Paris and Le Grand Véfour, where the great chefs of the time reigned. Expect the likes of chicken-liver and foie gras parfait with Sauternes jelly, quenelles de brochet with lobster and sauce Américaine, and saddle of lamb Belle Époque. Some recipes had all but vanished, others slipped between the pages of history - until now.

With period music, historical storytelling, and dishes revived from the city's golden age, this is a delicious historical resurrection.
