Smith St Bistrot

Smith St Bistrot is Scott Pickett’s take on a classic French bistrot with influence from Melbourne’s eclectic inner-north. It is a venue where guests visit for casual drinks that turn into dinner, or a full French ‘degustation du chef’. The wine list hosts a mix of significant French houses and local, minimal intervention wines.
