Entering Le Cirque is like entering a circus tent - the walls are covered in circus memorabilia, the tables are painted with images ringmasters and animals and the plates are also themed. It is a light hearted, fun place and not surprisingly it draws in families and groups.

I liked the atmosphere from the moment I arrived - it brings out the child in you. The staff are brightly dressed and are loyal to the theme with their humour.

I enjoyed a variation on gazpacho for entree that was delicious and devoured a Moroccan chicken dish for main that came with a cous cous stuffed capsicum. The dessert was by far the main attraction - gelato with a massive stick of fairy floss and a side bowl of lollies - every kids dream!

It was very reasonable for the servings offered and it's great fun. If you are looking for something a little different, Le Cirque should be at the top of your list.
