Our Story

We are a neighbourhood French Bistro. Your place to savour beautiful French food, together with a carefully selected drinks range.

The quick rendezvous. An extended liaison. A private indulgence.

{tɛrˈwɑ}

Terroir means the complete natural environment in which a particular crop is produced, including things like soil, topography, and climate.

It’s a French word — you say it “ter-wah” — but in Daylesford, Victoria it resonates with the philosophy of our inviting bistro. We want our customers to feel like our friends, they are a vital part of our terroir.
