• Steakhouse • Fortitude Valley

Booked 16 times today

Bienvenue. Les Bubbles is a Parisian steakhouse on the corner of Wickham and Little Street in Fortitude Valley, forged in the very same building that housed the notorious illegal casino, bath-house and brothel at the centre of the Fitzgerald Inquiry. While the card decks and kerb servers are all but gone, the building’s colourful history remains pinned to every wall. Steak frites – known by many as the national dish of France – is the centrepiece of our menu. We sear the steak to your liking, before serving it with bread, salad, plenty of sauce and bottomless frites. Les Bubbles welcomes all, and as such, both vegetarian and pescatarian eaters will feel right at home. For any curious individuals, a change of scenery is available by wandering down a single flight of stairs. It’s there that you will find the Bath-House, featuring a full bar, banquet seating and a open-aired deck to enjoy a pre or post dinner cocktail!

The staff were helpful in assisting me and guided me to the perfect lunch for one. I generally would t have a cocktail for lunch but fell in love with the blood flower. Very creative. This went well with my chicken dish in the bento section of the menu. Flavours were amazing.

From the moment we arrived until we left, our experience at Doughcraft was outstanding. The staff were amazing, friendly, professional and provided exceptional service. The food was next level with delicious flavours and one of the best meals we have ever eaten. We also had the privilege of chatting with the lovely manager, Matteo. We enjoyed our time there and can highly recommend it. A 10 out of 10 from us. 😊😊
