The Bistro

Under the skilled guidance of chef Jude Messenger, this has become a beloved family destination, celebrating local produce and the richness of seasonal flavours. Jude, along with his wife Tiffany and their children, has maintained a steadfast commitment to their philosophy for the past 14 years: Keep it simple but nice. This mantra embodies not only the accessibility of the dishes but their quality and creativity. The menu features a delightfully clever selection including tender calamari with handmade lemon gnocchi, fried capers, gremolata and a champagne velouté or the day’s fresh fish in a hot and sour coconut broth with shiitake, pickled mung beans, handmade noodle ribbons and coriander. Dessert won't disappoint with a warm Belgian chocolate cake, fromage blanc, peanut brittle and vanilla-cured mandarin. The drinks cater to diverse preferences, showcasing an impressive array of beers and cocktails. Kids are also warmly welcomed, with a menu that introduces them to the joys of “real food”. The Bistro’s mission is to enrich the community, offering an affordable European-style dining experience that combines integrity in the kitchen with relaxed and friendly service. Next time you’re in town, don’t miss the chance to dine with these wonderful hosts.
