Champagne Charlize - Bentleigh

Champagne Charlize  This restaurant is amazing.  Total gem in Bentleigh.  Can’t believe it took me so long to find this place.  Alex and Eve have been running restaurants for over 50 years and have it down pat.   The menu is billed as European and Alex and Eva’s heritage is evident in the choice of dishes.  Chicken soup with matzoh balls, cabbage rolls and goulash all feature.  But my favorites are the Seafood Chowder and the Seafood Marinara shown below).  Not to say that the other items aren’t good.  The pumpkin, sweet potato and coconut soup is seriously good.  The crepes filled with roast duck are another outstanding entree.

What a little Gem! Great food, lovely restaurant with carpeted floors, so quiet.  Run by a gorgeous  husband and wife team. Service was quick and friendly.  It's as if you are in their kitchen at home. Prices very reasonable as well. Their seafood Paella was absolutely overflowing with seafood and the Duck was perfect.  Definitely coming back.

Really enjoyed dining here. Great service and beautiful food. It’s managed by an older couple and they do a great job. Do yourself a favour and try it out.

Very nice place quiet, clean, great food. Went there today with my wife, were greeted by the owner polite soft spoken gentleman.  Ordered  a roasted duck and flathead fillet with chips and side salad. Food arrived fast, tasted delicious. Prices reasonable. Coming back definitely!Strongly recommended.

Very last minute booking. Info via Southern FM (88.3). First time there. VERY glad we made the decision to go. Fully booked and not noisy. Traditional Christmas Lunch. Choice of 3 mains with ALL the trimmings. A nice touch was that Eve (chef) visited all tables to have a chat. Alex took the time also to visit all tables. We where made to feel part of his family. Almost forgot, the food was excellent 12/10. PLEASE keep up the excellent work. Definitely be back in the New Year.
