[Plan this experience]() [Explore the story]() Cost **Estimated A$120–190 per person** Time to allow **Allow around 2 hours** Place **Southbank, Melbourne** 01 / The experience ### Choose a French bistro evening beside the Yarra. French bistro cooking at Crown gives Southbank stays a relaxed occasion meal with lunch and dinner options. $$$ French Dinner · food only Choose Bistro Guillaume when you want a French meal as part of a Southbank day. The Crown restaurant serves seasonal bistro cooking, with familiar classics and a Riverwalk setting. Book the dining space that suits your group, and request a terrace table if that is your preference without assuming it will be allocated. A lunch can follow a morning in the galleries or a walk along the Yarra. Dinner suits a Southbank hotel base and can fit after tennis if you leave a realistic journey from your venue gate. The restaurant’s long service window gives you options, but it does not guarantee an available table or kitchen service at every arrival time. Check the current à la carte or set menu and discuss allergies before booking. Weekend and public-holiday surcharges affect the total. Crown also lists an adults-only restriction after 21:00 or on special occasions, so families should confirm that their chosen service is suitable. Ask for the restaurant’s precise arrival route inside Crown if step-free access or a particular entrance matters. ![Bistro Guillaume, Australian Open]() Fine dining **Bistro Guillaume** Australian Open In pictures ### The full gallery. 02 / The essentials ### Bistro Guillaume: visit essentials 1. 01 French bistro 2. 02 Southbank 3. 03 Allow around 2 hours 04 / Before you go ### Plan your visit Combine a non-tennis lunch with Southbank galleries, or reserve dinner with enough time to leave Melbourne Park and reach Crown. #### Menu & spending Estimated A$120–190 per person for a meal and drink.
