In the heart of Red Hill behind one of the most
picturesque road in Main Ridge,
La Pétanque restaurant is preparing to celebrate the
completion of its 1st year of operation.
Son of a Parisian ‘boulanger’ Philippe Marquet spent a few
years traveling overseas then returned to France, where
he worked at some of the best restaurants, including
Les Ambassadeurs at Hotel de Crillon, the Pavillon le
Doyen and Lasserre in Paris. He then moved to the south
of France to manage La Mirande in Avignon and Les
Bories in Gordes. In 2002 he moved to Australia with
his wife Judy and daughter Lea, managing Albert Street
Restaurant and Montalto restaurant in Red Hill.
In the charming roadside cottage the comfortable French
provincial dining room is frequented by locals and city
foodies and is growing a reputation for excellent food
and service, providing an extensive wine list made up of
over two hundred local, Australian and French wines.
In addition to the restaurant, La Pétanque Living is
now open. The boutique offers French style furniture,
homewares, gifts, jewellery and skin care. After dining
at the restaurant you can have a leisurely game of
Petanque and finish the day with a visit to the boutique.
The restaurant is open Wednesday to Sunday for
lunch, Friday & Saturday nights for dinner. Extented
hours on long week ends and holidays.
