About the restaurant

Market Bistro will open from 11.30am 7 days a week, offering a classic “bistro style” menu featuring house made pasta, and a great selection of dry aged meats and a bunch of export quality local seafood.

Our wine list will be interesting, constantly evolving and feature predominantly Australian and New Zealand producers.

A unique feature of the Bistro is the fact you can walk into & purchase wine from the Wine Store for retail prices then drink it in the Bistro (for a small corkage fee.)

Market Bistro will be a stylish, casual restaurant that is not stuffy or pretentious... It is professional, casual & truly local.

Service, ambience and food was fabulous, but the noise level too high, it was fully booked on the inner area and we had a table next to the kids play area. Next time we will ask for a quieter area maybe around the outer section which seemed less noisy, although it wasn’t fully booked in that section. The lunch menu is our next test so maybe it will not be so busy and noisy at that time of day. Overall experience: great night out, we were particularly very impressed with the service.
