   We dine out a lot, once a week on average, and this is the best restaurant I have visited in years. It is truly a gift to us in the North West. The chef has an extraordinary palate - every dish is perfectly balanced and seasoned. The front of house is delightful, the premises are charming, and it is absurdly good value. I mean $29 for two pieces of succulent lobster tail in a delicate saffron broth with potatoes, leeks and radish is madness. Even the salad is exemplary. The desserts are all home-made, including the amazing ice-cream. We have been for lunch three times and cannot wait for the fourth chance to visit. Very interesting wine list too with great options by the glass. Cannot recommend more highly. Order the calamari with romesco sauce if it’s a special - you will not be disappointed. 10/10, no notes.

   This is one of the best restaurants north of the Yarra River. The food is all class. The Barramundi was as good as I have had anywhere. The wine list is replete with European wines and reasonably priced. The ambiance is good and service exceptional. Put simply--Bar Libretto is a gem of a restaurant. Michael Glen

   “The service was disappointing – it took an hour and a half to receive our food. Unfortunately, the wait overshadowed the experience.”

   It was great and we will definitely be going back. One star off ambiance because it is very tightly packed.

   Food cooked/served with love and care. We found ourselves saying "..the chef is very good!" Outstanding team of staff, very attentive and lovely. Not my first time there.

   My friends and I had such a lovely experience at Bar Libretto. The weather was fine - so we were able to sit outside in the courtyard and it was so lovely! The service was friendly, professional and unpretentious. The food was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. Good value for money, considering the high quality. I would not hesitate to recommend Bar Libretto and will definitely be returning.
