A great find in a town with plenty of good food… We had a very pleasant evening at the Longplay Bistro this evening. A lovely gentrified building complete with groovy upstairs bar. Restaurant on the ground floor did not disappoint- good quality produce delivered in an interesting ‘favourites’ degustation menu- all dishes were winners! Wine list eclectic with extras including house-made Amari As a Melburnian Longplay offers excellent value & would be booked solid for weeks in my town Well done! And really appreciated the Japanese jazz…!!

Thanks Phillip - we certainly appreciate your kind words! Hope to see you at Longplay again when you are back in Adelaide, or perhaps we'll have to just open a restaurant in Melbourne at some point :)

Our group of four agreed that the experience we had at Longplay Bistro was absolutely superb. The front of house staff/owners were friendly, service was attentive, and the space itself was beautiful, with heavy curtains to help with noise absorption. Tables were well spaced and the music playlist was great, 60’s through to 80’s jazz and Motown. The menu was adventurous and sophisticated with all the hallmarks of great French bistro food, excellent steak and fish. The highlights were the snapper and the ox tongue. The wine list was concise and well curated. This restaurant is the complete package, a lovely place to be with great service, food and wine, something that is not always easy to find. We’re from Melbourne and we will make a point of coming back.

We came to longplay as friend recommended. The decor inside, ambiance and food was nice. But it wasn't value for money unfortunately we left hungry and very out of pocket. Mains could of came with a side of bread or small roasted potatoes maybe a small dip whilst waiting. But of reassessment needed with pricing I feel.
