Best Bistros in South Brisbane

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.

Really lovely , friendly ,accomodating staff. Been here 3 times and same experience every time. Cocktails are amazing. More variety on that menu would be better though.

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!

The staff were friendly,helpful and welcoming. Couldn't fault their service. The food was absolutely delicious. We had a 3 course meal and every plate was divine. Thank you chefs !!!!!! The only down fall is the high tables in the restaurant are more like something you find at your local pub. I wouldve though "Lennon's restaurant " would only have ALL the table as a restaurant table not bar table for some and a dinner table for others and you don't get to choose.
