Che Bon Restaurant

Che Bon is fantastic and I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone! I went here for a celebratory dinner and had the steak tartare, shared the seafood platter with my mum, and finished with the lightest and most delicate Creme brûlée I’ve ever had. I’d definitely recommend getting more of the wasabi sauce because it’s delicious and pairs so well with the tartare. The seafood platter was fresh and delicious. The bugs were the highlight. We also paired our meal with delicious wines and I had my desert with a negroni. The service is impeccable and the atmosphere is fantastic. I’ll definitely be back soon as I can’t stop thinking about the tartare.

No need to go to Byron to find a high quality restaurant. Che Bon c’est bon! Like the name says, it’s bloody good food and quality has its price. Service on top of the task as well. In my opinion it is not expensive for the quality you receive. Can only recommend. Merci Chef, je me suis régalé :)

So lucky to find this gorgeous place Every dish a delight and a great selection of french and aussie wine. Anne-Gaelle was welcoming and friendly and helped us to find a delicious to pair with our chosen dishes. The duck liver pate was light and fluffy, excellent surloin steak with seasonal veg and the burramundi fish was perfectly cooked Recommended to anyone in the area and especially if you are staying at the Manor Hotel nearby.

Had a great dining experience at Che Bon Restaurant in Ballina! This place truly brings authentic French cuisine and hospitality to the area. Started with their Warm Goat Cheese Salad which was perfectly balanced - the creamy, tangy goat cheese paired beautifully with fresh greens and their house-made dressing. The highlight of our evening was definitely the Cote de Boeuf featuring Troy's Farm's Tomahawk - grass fed and hormone free beef that was absolutely spectacular. The French wine pairing our server recommended was spot-on and elevated the entire dish. The service was truly exceptional - the French staff bring such authenticity and passion to the dining experience. Their knowledge of both the menu and wine selections was impressive, and their genuine enthusiasm for French cuisine really enhanced our evening. What makes this place even more special is that they make their own salad dressings, truffle mustard, and other condiments on-site - and they're available for purchase! Che Bon offers a genuine French dining experience with quality ingredients, expert preparation, and service that makes you feel like you're dining in France. Highly recommend for a special night out!

Such an amazing dinner experience. The waitress was so welcoming and always made you feel well looked after, the food was absolutely incredible. I had the duck pâté and beef eye fillet with blue cheese sauce - absolutely phenomenal. Cant wait to dine here again

My family of 5 loved che bon. Delicious french flavours on the menu. And reasonably priced. Service was great. Food came out quickly. All the wait staff were so friendly and lovely. We had a lovely family dinner and everyone enjoyed their meal.

Che Bon is awesome start to finish. It's an 11 out of 10 for food, service and pricing, but it's a 8.5 out of 10 for lighting. It's VERY bright in there and is the only point deduction they get. The service is outstanding - ALL of the staff were very knoweldgeable and did their jobs perfectly. Coming from an ex hospo background it's rare that you can go somewhere and relax completely. These guys did not hover. They were there when you wanted them and absent when you wanted time to yourself. The food is OUTSTANDING (doubly so for the price). It comes out quickly, it was perfectly cooked and delicious. The wine selection is great and the bar staff really know what they are doing. We're very lucky to have this place in Ballina, actually, it's too good for this place :) They also have a gift shop. Go there. You'll love it. And if hassle the owner enough about the lighting, this will be the best place in Ballina. :)

A True Taste of France in Ballina! Che Bon has been our go-to restaurant for over three years and it never disappoints. The food is consistently outstanding—authentic, original and full of heart. My French husband often says it feels like being back home, which is the highest praise you can give. The service is always amazing - warm and professional, and the atmosphere relaxed yet welcoming. We’ve dined in some of Paris’s top restaurants, and Che Bon holds its own. It’s a special place, and we’re so lucky to have it in Ballina.

Loved trying this place! Visiting friends in the area who are regulars. Fantastic a French food using Local ingredients. Very welcoming & professional staff. Would very much recommend steak frites. Perfect medium rare. We shared Excellent pâté starter. Desserts were wonderful. Crème brûlée and a light but deep chocolate mousse. We will be back !
