Good for special occasions

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. Chef-owner Vedran infuses each dish with the spirit of his heritage, serving handmade seafood risottos, slow-roasted meats, and other hearty Dalmatian classics. With its welcoming terrace and intimate ambiance, St Blaise invites you to relax, enjoy each bite, and embrace the unhurried hospitality of a true konoba—simple, soulful, and unforgettable.

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.
