Che Bon Restaurant
We recently had the privilege of dining at Che Bon, a French restaurant tucked away in the charming town of Ballina, and it was an experience that transcended the ordinary. From the moment we walked in, we were enveloped in an atmosphere reminiscent of a quaint Parisian bistro, complete with the warm, inviting ambiance that is so quintessentially French.The food at Che Bon is a celebration of French gastronomy. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared with the freshest ingredients, and the menu is a delightful fusion of traditional French staples and innovative culinary explorations. The Steak au Poivre was a revelation, the beef tender and succulent, bathed in a rich, peppery sauce that was a symphony of flavors. The Stuffed Peppers, a vibrant medley of bell peppers filled with a savory stuffing, were cooked to perfection, each ingredient retaining its unique flavor while contributing to the overall harmony of the dish.However, the standout was the Seafood Platter. This dish, featuring fresh Prawns and Mussels, was an extraordinary experience. The seafood was fresh and succulent, the accompanying sauces aromatic and flavorful, and the presentation was simply stunning. It was, in essence, a taste of the French seaside served on a platter.The service at Che Bon was equally impressive. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, striking the perfect balance. They were knowledgeable about the menu, offering insightful recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. Their passion for their work was evident in their attention to detail, from the beautifully set tables to the perfectly timed course transitions.To conclude the meal, we indulged in the Crème Brûlée. This classic French dessert was a delight, with a perfectly caramelized top giving way to a creamy, vanilla-infused custard. It was a sweet ending to a truly memorable meal.In conclusion, Che Bon is a must-try in the heart of Ballina. It offers an authentic French dining experience, complete with excellent food and extraordinary service. Whether you're a lover of French cuisine or simply a food enthusiast looking for a memorable dining experience, Che Bon is a must-visit. Bon Appétit!

We had the $52 option which gives you a choice of either entree and main or dessert and main. We shared entree and dessert and that was plenty.

This little French restaurant in Ballina is so so good, the moment we walked through the doors of the che bon it had this amazing vibe, it was super homely. You could tell it was a family run business, first of all it was 11:30am we came here for lunch however that was not going to stop me from having a lychee martini! I had the pulled beef bun, it was full of flavour it had Swiss cheese on it also with a side of salad , my partner had the ham and pickle baguette with a side of salad, the waiter said we must try the home Made fries, they where hands down the best chips iv ever had and the vegan aioli is next level. We shared the grand mothers crème brûlée, it was not overly sweet like I have had in the past it was well balanced! My partner looks at me with his puppy dog eyes and said let come here for dinner, so we booked for 7:30, we walked into the restaurant it was busy and still had an amazing vibe, we had 6 fresh oysters to share, now dinner menus are 2 course or 3 course,We got the two course at first we had the duck pâté it was so amazing, second entree was the escargot it was so yummy full of butter garlic and parsley!For the mains I chose the steak it was cooked to perfection and it was good quality beef! The mushroom sauce was so yummy!My partner choose the duck confit it was quiet nice, the gravy was quite a unique taste with orange through it. It also was delicious.The waiter came over and said any more space.we couldn’t say no. The food was so amazing that we had to have another dessert we had the the mocha Grenache it was rich was good to share! What this chef is doing should not be missed. There is also a little shop inside to that sells French stuff most of its home made like pate, James, wines and lots more. Support this family run business it’s amazing! There home made salad dressing is fantastic we ended up buying a bottle to take back to Melbourne with us :-) can not wait to come back here again!

Staff were filled with vibrant energy, great experience and filled with knowledge about every question we had towards the menu.All courses were absolutely incredible, if you are sceptical on the snails! Give them a try, they’re absolutely delicious.Pascal assisted us with a minor issue with one meal, she fixed our concerns so quickly and made our experience remain comfortable and go on to be nothing but amazing.Have come here since Fernleigh, and will continue to dine in such an amazing venue and environment.Thankyou Che Bon

Che Bon was fantasic. Warm and friendly greeting on arrival, took us in earlier than our booking time. Staff were so warm, checking in on our meal and time there. Food was perfect, we both had the 3 course with a glass of red wine.I had the pate for entree, my partner the prawn salad. For main, steak and duck and dessert creme brulee.All meals were delicious, can not fault any of it. Highly recommend. Wish I lived closer, it would be my go to.

The food was incredible, I loved the way it was a set price for 3 course meal, with several choices in each course. Although it would be nice to have at least two options to choose from with the vegetarian.The staff very welcoming, attentive and pleasant. It would have been better though if it was one waiter/waitress serving us at our table though, as it got confusing. As one person came to take our drink order, but we weren't ready yet, then someone else came and took the order, then the original person came back to see if we were ready yet, and we told him it's been taken. Either that, or better communication between the staff. Not a complaint, but merely a suggestion.I thought it was great that they checked on us, without being obvious to see if we had finished each course, and I was appreciative that they didn't clear the table until we were all finished our food.The staff came in a timely manner to see if our food was ok. Seriously, that was fantastic.Thank you, I probably won't go back again, not because it wasn't nice, it was in fact very tasty and delicious, but because I wouldn't want to eat the same vegetarian dishes again, being that they only had one choice.Thank you.

The food is spot on and so is the service.Their wine selection is small but it's quality,if I had an issue it would be that our mains was delivered literally 2 minutes after our entree was cleared and even though they said take your time it doesn't work as your main gets cold.Great value for money and the next time we are in Ballina will go again but will be sure to tell them to give us a 20m break.Make sure you take your appetite with you as servings are generous.

Great food. Attentive and friendly staff. Overall a very pleasant experience and would definitely return.Ps. The vegetarian option (gazpacho and aubergine main) were very flavoursome and the desserts were perfect. Portion sizes are adequate for the price. This is a gem of a place in Ballina.
