This is a restaurant that you can actually communicate comfortably without competing with music. It was refreshing! Our pork cutlet was perfection with many elements making it extraordinary. The mango dessert was the most complex and delicious dessert I think I’ve ever eaten. The servings were generous and it is particularly satisfying when you can say “I could never replicate this at home!”.

About the restaurant

Market Bistro will open from 11.30am 7 days a week, offering a classic “bistro style” menu featuring house made pasta, and a great selection of dry aged meats and a bunch of export quality local seafood.

Our wine list will be interesting, constantly evolving and feature predominantly Australian and New Zealand producers.

A unique feature of the Bistro is the fact you can walk into & purchase wine from the Wine Store for retail prices then drink it in the Bistro (for a small corkage fee.)

Market Bistro will be a stylish, casual restaurant that is not stuffy or pretentious... It is professional, casual & truly local.
