The handsome young waiters at South Yarra’s famous French brasserie are being ogled by a champagne swilling stalker.
This week, she was seen draining a martini glass before then turning to the bubbly straight from the bottle.
Hiding behind oversized Versace sunglasses, the South Yarra stalker sat in her up-market BMW hatchback outside the famed France Soir this week, where she has an eye for the waiters in their long white aprons instead of the menu.
The bistro owned by Jean-Paul Prunetti has had the rich and the famous and the great and the good at its tables.

But back to the South Yarra stalker who hungrily eyeballs the waiters.

On any given day the who’s who of Melbourne are dining at the bistro with the name of the famous French newspaper.
As the restaurant boasts it’s where “wins are celebrated, deals done and rock stars come and go.”
The wine list is the size of a Bible and treated with the same reverence. The bread basket is always full and the wine is always flowing.
Nothing has changed much since its opening in 1986 and that’s just the way its customers like it.
While we were perusing the wine list the stalker had finished off her champers and moved on to a hip flask.
Sometimes she sits at the bar and heckles customers. She was recently locked out of the restaurant when she got in through a back door.
Sacré bleu. How rude!
