Chez Maurice & Linda

Old-school French dining, Balgowlah's little piece of the Dordogne.

All Manly restaurants

The local take

Chez Maurice & Linda does classic French — the duck, the sauces, the unhurried courses — from a Sydney Road room in Balgowlah that feels charmingly out of time. Upper-middle prices, 4.3 from travellers, and hospitality with the personal signature of an owner-run maison.

In an era of small plates and QR codes, a proper old-school French bistro is worth protecting. Book it for the anniversary you want to feel like an anniversary.
