With lush new renovations and interior design, Koots has been re-launched as Koots Salle à Manger in 2009. Conveying an ambience of understated sophistication that befits the house "modern French" style, expect comfortable new seating and a new menu along with the new look. 

Owner and chef Patrice Repellin is celebrating ten years at the helm. There's a new bar menu that's been added to the line up offering a relaxed and friendly place for anything from a drink with a light snack to a full à la carte experience.

For lunch, we continue to bring you our "Prix Fixe" $30 two-course special. Outside, our courtyard beckons on sunny days and warm nights for stylish al fresco dining. Inside, there's a chateau-style open fireplace for when there's a chill in the air. 

While some things have changed, comfortable hospitality and confident style remain the focus. And of course, our food. Here, the menu achieves balance between old-world techniques and fine new-world innovation. 

With its warm charm and understated style, this is a place that buzzes with local flavour: an open invitation to relax, feel good and indulge one’s inner gourmand.

We look forward to your visit.

À bientôt!

Quotes from recent press about Koots:

"Koots has undergone  something of a minor revolution...The place certainly feels like it has a new energy". Michael Harden, Australian Gourmet Traveller, November 2009 (read the full review here)

"Elegant rather than rustic, and unafraid to take the occasional risk, [Patrice Repellin's] menu is aware of fashion...Yet he's astute enough to know not to push the barrow too far..."

(Awarded one chef's hat in 2004,2005,2006,2007,2008, 2009, and again in 2010)

Larissa Dubecki, food critic for The Age's Epicure section, reviews Koots Salle à Manger with a score of 15/20. See the full review of 5 May 2009.

“….Koots is the quintessence of the chef's own restaurant. Focused, tightly run and with enough Gallic insouciance in the air to suggest something special, it's home to the consistent excellence of Patrice Repellin's modern French food.”
The Age Good Food Guide 2008. 

“Repellin exercises a light hand while simultaneously dismissing gimickry...
His trump card comes with a faultless crème brûlée... Confident, apparently effortless service and a romantic undercover courtyard make Koots the perfect neighbourhood bistro.."
