Beautiful decor, very attentive and friendly waiter and the food was delicious. We enjoyed the freshness and great flavour combinations. Everything was hot, tasty and good portion sizes. Make sure you try the cheese puff starter, octopus, fish & mussel main and the chocolate mousse. Even the side bread was awesome. We will be back for sure.

We had an incredible dining experience at Longplay Bistro! We chose the Special Edition menu and we were not disappointed! From the moment we stepped in, we were charmed by the beautiful ambiance and the vibrant yet relaxed energy in the room. It was the perfect balance of lively without being too noisy, creating an ideal setting for an enjoyable meal. The menus on our table were customised to our experience, complete with a little message to congratulate us on our anniversary celebration - we had only booked *that* morning so to have a personalised menu printed on the same day of our booking was impressive. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and always there right when we needed something. And the food! Absolutely delectable, every dish was bursting with flavour and beautifully presented. Overall, Longplay Bistro is a gem, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!

Just do it, you won’t be disappointed. The food is excellent and the service is perfect. If you are only a beer drinker the range is ridiculously limited. Everything else is great.
Longplay BistroResponded on October 11, 2024
Thank you Ian - the review is much appreciated. Cheers for the feedback on the beers too - we have been keeping it pretty simple on that front and focusing on wine but maybe a few more options for the beer drinkers would be good. Hope to see you at Longplay again soon!
