Best Bistros in Carindale

Great food plenty to choose from. A bit noisy with people talking. Easy parking.

This occasion was Xmas lunch. The restaurant opened exactly on time and was well prepared. The food, both in quality and quantity was excellent. Staff were friendly and efficient with used plates removed from the tables quickly. The package included a good choice of beers, wines, including bubbly, and soft drinks and the bar service was quick and cheerful. I highly recommend this venue. We eat there throughout the year too and it is always good. This Xmas package was excellent value.

Christmas Lunch was outstanding. I would be confident booking this venue for events because they clearly demonstrated their ability to manage and cater to a large crowd. I would expect their day-to-day operations to also be as efficient and good value as their events. Staff were pleasant, helpful and there were plenty of people to call on if assistance or service was required. The decor was attractive, the layout of the area easy to navigate and the noise level even with a large attendance was very comfortable. There were a few small issues, such as a slow-draining sink in the toilets, but sometimes an older building has these kinds of challenges. Speaking specifically of the food in the Christmas Day buffet, the seafood was absolutely fresh and of good quality, trays of hot food were replenished regularly and the dessert display was absolutely delightful. There was an impressive range of food available and it was plentiful. Everything was well labelled. The large group was managed well with no long hold-ups or bottlenecks. The atmosphere was subtly festive without being over the top. Overall my group had a great experience and I would not hesitate to attend another function at Hotel West End. If I lived more locally, I would also be happy to visit on regular days.

Harvey's is a great venue - the food is always delicious, the staff look after all of their patrons with a smile and nothing is too much trouble. It is a delight to visit.

Wonderful meal again at Gum Bistro. Sunday lunch at Gum Bistro means welcoming service and great food and drinks. You can't go wrong picking anything on the food and the drinks menu. Our mains were the Fish, Quail and Vegetable Gratin. All beautifully prepared, cooked and tasted fabulous. An extensive drinks list and an extended wine list means you can be sure that anything you feel like drinking is covered. A very enjoyable lunch!
