    The buns we had were so so good! Super fresh and filled with flavor. Had the roast chicken with sweet chili. At first it looked like to large a serving, but we both cleared out our platesπŸ™ˆπŸ˜…. Coffee milkshake was fair, but a little too watered down for my liking. The environment is very calming, especially with the outdoor seating and it feels quite intimate. Great for dates and work meetings. The baked good looked amazing, I know for sure I’ll be going back to try out their Chelsea rollsπŸ‘ŒπŸΎ

    There’s so many good things about this restaurant: Firstly the premises are well kept, great garden feel if you have a table outside & very light & breezy especially in the summer heat The staff is especially friendly & serve quite quickly once you have settled down The food, the food was alright. The penne we had was meant to be in a pesto sauce that unfortunately had run out but was replaced with a tomato based sauce that had a film of oil left in the plate, but was well seasoned & had good flavour . The salmon was quite dry with a coat on seasoning on the outside that hadn’t managed to penetrate through to the flesh of the fish, but was redeemed by the moisture and flavour from the tomato based relish that was served with the meal. For the prices on the menu, I would have to say that the food was on the underwhelming side, perhaps revisit the recipes or ensure that the quality & freshness of the food matches the prices you put up for the food. I would recommend to call and place a booking prior to visiting

    Honestly great healthy food. So much care and attention to detail. A great effort is made to prepare healthy tasty food. Great coffee and tea options. I highly recommend visiting you so not be disappointed.

    This place has an amazing view and you can sit there for hours. It is very refreshing and relaxing. We had coffee croissant and raspberry cheesecake. Coffee was already cold when served ,though it did taste good. Croissant was a bit too flaky and cheesecake was ok with the glaze lil chewy and a bit of sour taste. Though they did heat the coffee on request however it became piping hot and kinda lost its flavour. The coffee can be done in almond milk. The bill came out to be $16 They have cold pressed juices which makes this place vegan friendly The place has a charm Looking forward to visiting again and reviewing the food

    Very pleasant restaurant, staff are friendly, service is good, food is great. Very relaxing looking out onto the trees, however not offering WiFi to patrons does surprise me somewhat, would have been an ideal location to sit and work during the week days.

    I still like this place. A great outdoor setting with a crystal clear pool. Even though the main road is adjacent you wouldn't know it.

    I went to the Bistro with my partner for his birthday. It was our first time eating there and it was amazing. He had the steak which was delicious and I had the salmon which was absolutely incredible. The wait staff were great. They even got together to sing happy birthday for my partner. The dessert was amazing. We had the Creme brule and the pecan pie which were both delicious. The atmosphere is also so lovely. Such a high quality restaurant. If you are thinking of trying it, go for it !! You will not be disappointed. Thank you The Bistro for a memorable evening.

    We had the most fabulous dinner at The Bistro, they were very accommodating as we have an 8 month old who was trying to sleep through dinner - our waiter had the most amazing manners and was super quiet knowing that she was sleeping - the food was impeccable and delicious - I would recommend the Pork Fillet and the Creme Brulee for dessert was AMAZING!!!

    When you’re in town this is a must. Such a lovely and quiet place, looking over the garden. Breakfast has great options, avocado toast is my favorite. For lunch or dinner I can recommend the pizzas, they have a pizza oven and you can really taste the difference!

    Small portions considering the cost. I do not recommend their fish dishes as I got violently ill afterwards. Waiters were polite and their service was good. Just a bad experience with their food.
