Step into St Blaise Bistro, the closest you’ll get to an authentic Dalmatian "konoba" experience in Sydney. Tucked away in Matraville, this cozy, rustic spot brings the warmth and flavors of Croatia’s coast to the city, with a hint of modern flair.

My husband and I love St Blaise. Its a small bistro with a small menu. It has a bustling, friendly ambience and it can be a bit hard to talk over the nose sometimes. The chef Vedran serves the meals himself. The menu is influenced by Vedrans Croation roots, and is delicious. Theres always a yummy ragu and seafood on the menu. I particularly enjoy eating a selection of the small plates. There is no accomodation for dietary preferences, so not the place to visit if you're VEGAN or COELIAC etc. Strongly recommend otherwise.

Top quality ingredients beautifully prepared. We sat at the bench and observed first hand the care that goes into each dish. A highlight was the seafood - the freshness was allowed to shine through, particularly in the carpaccio which relied heavily on the quality of the ingredients to make each mouthful a triumph. An interesting wine list and great service topped off a delicious and memorable meal.
