Housed in a little blue building on multi-coloured Victoria Street, its exterior is the only thing loud about a French restaurant that exudes homely charm and style.

A mix of in-the-know locals, pre-theatre goers taking advantage of reduced-price menus and tourists make up Maison Bleue’s clientele, which —despite the relatively steep prices—never feels exclusive.

Expect beautifully cooked and presented French cuisine with a North African twist, and an emphasis on fish. There's also a stellar wine list.
