Plush velvet seating, ornate chandeliers, and the warm chords of a live pianist—Ludo channels a vintage Paris jazz den beneath South Perth. Table talk centers on French classics done right. Think crisp vol-au-vents, garlic prawns, and beef bourguignon, alongside shared plates of duck and medium-rare rib eye plated with creamy potato gratin and red wine jus. Portions lean European, leaving just enough room to finish the night over hot chocolate or a torched crème brûlée.
