Central Fire Station Bistro

At this unique venue, art-deco charm meets the culinary delights of French and Italian cuisine. Chef Sam Clark and co-owner Florencia Menehem have expertly transformed a beautifully preserved heritage building into a vibrant restaurant that draws in guests with its inviting atmosphere and meticulously crafted menu. The offerings feature an array of fresh, seasonal dishes that highlight local produce, alongside a thoughtfully curated drinks list with numerous by-the-glass options. Perhaps begin your culinary journey with a starter of raw fish, avocado, mandarin, charred shallot in a zingy ginger ponzu. Follow with an agnolotti of winter greens and goat cheese, currants and delicious brown butter. The dessert game is always good so why not try the croissant bread-and-butter pudding with vanilla ice cream and stout caramel custard? Combine Sam’s remarkable skill and technical prowess with knowledgeable staff who are passionate about local flavours and you get a dining destination that promises an exceptional meal in a setting that marries history and innovation.
