La Cache A Vin

Spring Hill

Updated: Sep 30, 2025

La Cache a Vin is the jewel in the crown of Brisbane’s French restaurants, found tucked away in a Spring Hill laneway in the old St Pauls Tavern basement.

Established by renowned Brisbane chef Thierry Galichet (and now owned by esteemed French restaurateur Dan Arnold & manager Romaine Maunier), La Cache a Vin is one of the city’s true hidden treasures – a splendid cavernous dining room featuring rock walls at the rear, leather banquettes, a marble bar and a French wine cellar just inside the entrance, where diners can purchase a bottle of what they’ve enjoyed at the restaurant to take home.

The delectable menu offers traditional dishes drawn from the regions of France, preceded by ‘Temtations’ such as Roquefort Brulee, Foie Gras with peach compote and toasted pain de campagne.
