About Frederic

Frederic is a contemporary European bistro and bar located in Cremorne, Melbourne, known for its French‑leaning modern European cuisine and relaxed yet polished atmosphere. Operated alongside its adjacent all‑day venue Fred’s Bar, Frederic offers everything from snacks and cocktails to multi‑course meals and an extensive wine list featuring both local and European labels. The venue caters to casual catch‑ups, business lunches, date nights, and group dining, with bookings typically made online via frederic.com.au or through popular reservation platforms.

A charge from “FREDERIC”, “FREDERIC CREMORNE”, “FREDERIC RESTAURANT”, or a similar descriptor on your bank or card statement usually relates to food and beverage purchases made on‑site at Frederic or Fred’s Bar. This may be from a sit‑down meal, drinks at the bar, a shared bill where your card covered part or all of the total, or a private/group booking. In some cases, you may see a pre‑authorization hold placed when you start a tab, provide your card for the bill, or secure a booking or event; the final amount captured can differ slightly once service charges, tips, or adjustments are applied. For larger groups or special events, Frederic may also process deposits or minimum‑spend payments that appear as separate charges.

To verify a Frederic charge, start by checking the date, location (Cremorne, VIC), and amount against your dining history, text/email booking confirmations, and any receipts you were given. Look in your email for booking confirmations from frederic.com.au or reservation platforms, and check your digital wallet if you tapped your phone or watch to pay. If you still have questions, contact Frederic using the details and enquiry forms on their official website (frederic.com.au), providing the date, approximate time, amount, and last four digits of the card used so they can look up the transaction. Common issues—such as split bills, duplicate authorizations that later reverse, or confusion between Frederic and Fred’s Bar—are typically resolved quickly once the team can match your payment to their point‑of‑sale records.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why am I seeing a charge from FREDERIC or FREDERIC CREMORNE on my bank statement?

This charge usually relates to a food and beverage purchase at Frederic or its adjacent Fred’s Bar in Cremorne, Victoria. It could be from a meal, drinks tab, or group booking you attended on or near the transaction date. Check your calendar, messages, and email confirmations for a visit to Frederic or a booking in Cremorne around that time.

What are typical amounts for a Frederic or Fred’s Bar charge?

Because Frederic is a bistro and bar, common charges range from smaller bar spends (around AUD $30–$80) to full dining experiences that can exceed AUD $100–$250 for two people, depending on food, drinks, and any bottles of wine. Group bookings, set menus, or events can be higher and may appear as round amounts (for example, per‑head set menu pricing or event minimum spends). Your exact total will reflect what was ordered plus any applicable surcharges or tips added at payment.

Why did Frederic place a temporary or pending charge on my card?

Frederic may place a temporary pre‑authorization when you open a bar tab, leave your card with staff, or provide card details to secure a reservation or event booking. This appears as a pending charge or hold on your statement and is used to confirm that your card is valid. The hold is either adjusted to match the final bill or released by your bank within a few business days if the pre‑auth is not captured.

Why is my final Frederic charge higher than the original bill amount I remember?

Your final charge may be higher if you added a tip, ordered extra items after the initial bill was printed, or shared a bill where additional items were later allocated to your card. In some cases, a Sunday or public holiday surcharge, credit card surcharge, or event/set‑menu pricing may also affect the final total. If the increase seems unexpected, contact Frederic with your visit date and approximate time so they can review the detailed bill from their system.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or invoice from Frederic?

If you paid at Frederic or Fred’s Bar and need a receipt or tax invoice, you can request a copy by contacting the venue via the details on frederic.com.au. Include the transaction date, approximate time, total amount, and the last four digits of the card used so staff can locate your payment in their point‑of‑sale records. They can usually email a PDF receipt or invoice once they’ve verified the transaction.

How do I dispute a Frederic charge or request a refund or adjustment?

Reach out to Frederic directly before contacting your bank, as most billing issues can be resolved with the venue. Use the contact information or enquiry form on frederic.com.au and provide full details: transaction date, amount, name on the booking (if applicable), and why you believe the charge is incorrect. If a genuine error is found—such as an accidental double charge or an item billed in error—the restaurant can usually process a refund or adjustment back to your original payment method.

I see two Frederic charges on the same day—was I double charged?

It’s possible that one of the entries is a pre‑authorization hold and the other is the final captured amount for your visit. The temporary hold should drop off automatically once your bank releases it, typically within a few business days. If both amounts remain posted after several days, contact Frederic with the transaction details so they can check for an accidental duplicate and assist with a reversal if needed.

Can Frederic or Fred’s Bar charge me later for a no‑show or group booking?

For some larger group bookings, events, or peak‑time reservations, Frederic may require card details to secure the booking and apply a no‑show or late‑cancellation fee according to their policy. If you see a charge and did not dine, review your booking confirmation email for the cancellation terms and timing you agreed to when reserving. If you believe you were charged in error—such as cancelling within the allowed time—contact the venue with your booking reference so they can review the situation.
