    What can I say but Wow! From the first complimentary spoonful of ceviche I knew the chef in the kitchen knew what they were doing. I had the pasta & my husband had the fish , we finished with cream brûlée. The meal was really really good. In the words of Barry White , keep on doing it Babe!

    We dined here Sunday night, absolutely devine!! I had duck leg – to die for – so tender and tasty and beautifully presented. Hubby had poussin, moist and delicious also. The little salmon nibble given out for free was also a very nice touch. As locals we will dine here often.

    Best meal I’ve had in a long long time! I’ve never eaten rump steak like it and the calamari is to die for! Also had the pleasure of chatting with chef/owner Jude, what a dynamic character, very passionate about what he does. Service was great, casual but attentive and on the ball. Loved the decor and style, I am from Auckland and eat out a lot, you could pick up the Bistro, drop it onto Ponsonby or Jervois road and it would not look out of place at all.. Great stuff Jude and team, love your work!

    My first visit to The Bistro was with a group of work colleagues and we had a great meal.My second visit was with family. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal but my son & husband didn’t enjoy their ‘Steak Soup’. They both asked for medium and got almost Bleu. I will certainly go back but I’m not sure about the family

    Slow and inept service and the odd ingredient left out of the main on what appeared to be a night when they were trying to do too much with too few competent staff. Taste and quality of the courses was ok but a 2/10 on the tiramisu. Could have sold a second bottle of wine maybe if the service was sharper.

    WOW! What an amazing meal! We had the terrine and mussels to start followed by the duck and the lamb ribs, the waitress was great and warned us about the fat content on the lamb ribs, but they were sensational! I’m am gluten free and the menu was easy to follow. Definitely will be back!

    What an amazing place to go!Went on a Sunday night with our family of 3 children under 6 for a Sunday night meal and it was excellent.Service was fantastic, greeted by a friendly smiling waitress who brought out crayons, colouring books and books for the children.Free freshly made bread still warm out of the oven was amazing to eat and fantastic for the kids as our waitress brought out extra for them. We had the cold cuts, cheese, pickles plater and again our lovely waitress brought extra bread for the children.The had an excellent kids menu, our children choose the pasta dish.We had the duck and the lamb meatballs which there was enough for us and to share a little with the children. The children had ice cream sundays for desert that were free as it was Sunday.Overall, an amazing experience with fantastic food, awesome service and a price that will bring us back next Sunday for sure.Thank you so much to the chef and his team for a restaurant that caters for a young family without making us feel like you cant wait to get us out the door 🙂
