Our Story

Exterior of a restaurant called Chez Bagou, serving French cuisine, with outdoor dining and patrons inside and outside, during evening hours.

Our menu is a harmony of traditional French cooking and modern cuisine. Embodying the bistronomie style of a modern French restaurant, we offer a comforting selection of classic dishes with a creative twist.
The wine list presents a sophisticated selection from France’s old and emerging wineries, along with some local favourites chosen to match the vibrancy of our menu.

We source our meat from grass-fed, free range cattle raised on the verdant pastures that intersect the border between northern Victoria and southern New South Wales.
