Inspired by the heart of Paris and blended with Melbourne's street-smart edge, FRENCHIE delivers French food for everyone. From spontaneous drinks to late-night feasts, FRENCHIE is all about big flavours, sharp service, and a touch of French flair.

  • Electric Work Culture: Fun, fast-paced, and full of energy.
