“ Mornington is not the sort of place you might expect to find a classic French bistro, but Ouest France Bistro is as French as it gets. It is clearly the sort of place that has a lot of return patrons, as evidenced by the warm familiar welcome so many diners received when they arrived. It's a very small restaurant with a marquee attached out the front, but it's comfortable and homely, and you don't feel cramped at all. Service is friendly, professional, and efficient. For some reason, we had mucked up making our booking, but they were able to find us a table, which was warmly appreciated. The menu has the French classics you would expect along with a couple of specials. The food is beautifully prepared, well presented, and tastes fabulous. I enjoyed onion soup, veal casserole (its French name is a lot more exotic, but I'm not going to attempt it) and, the highlight for me, apple crepe with flaming calvados. The meals are served plain, in the French style, so you need to order sides. We had the salad and peas, both delicious. I felt that the prices were quite reasonable for the quality of food and service. My one and only quibble was a longer than expected wait between entree and main. Entrees and desserts arrived promptly, but the gap between entree and main was a bit longer than expected. Apart from that, flawless. We will definitely be returning. ”

“ You can choose to eat inside or in a covered gazebo outside, which can be closed in when it's cold. There is also a heater, but it was a warm day when we were there. I'd suggest it would be advisable to book a table in advance. Service was prompt, but the wait time for the food was understandably long as the meat takes some time to cook. I had a rib-eye steak with French fries. It was a perfectly cooked medium rare, tasty and tender. My wife had the market fish, a hoki, which was cooked beautifully, though she wasn't so fond of the tomato based sauce. The serving sizes were quite small, though adequate, leaving enough room for a dessert if desired. We chose not to have a dessert. ”

“ Our first time at Quest and it won’t be our last . Our host Georgie was most welcoming for our 7.30 pm dinner - very busy on a Friday night which resulted in a bit of a wait to order. I had the quail with mushroom sauce for entree while Adrienne had the cauliflower soup with cheese croutons both outstanding. Mains we both had the duck breast with cherrie sauce , green beans and French fries . All perfectly cooked. Desert- crème brûlée and chocolate moose Highly recommended if you love French food , many specials on offer as well 2 entrees , 2 mains, 2 deserts and a bottle of Pino gri : $270 inc tip ”

“ What a great night out! From the friendly welcome to the most beautiful food and relaxed service. Small uncomplicated menu, rich, flavoursome and presented beautifully. Our table enjoyed Quail, cauliflower soup, scallops for entree. We all had the eye fillet which was very high quality and cooked to perfection. Crepes and Crème brûlée for desert beautiful. Some beautiful french wines were enjoyed along with 1664 beer. ”
