We visited Cinco Bistro on the 29th of February for a dinner for four. Street parking was plentiful albeit tight in the side street. The restaurant itself was easy to find with a warm inviting interior.
For entree we ordered the Grilled Quail and Scallop Risotto to share. The Quail was tender with the breast deboned and the scallops were seared perfectly. For mains we ordered the Darling Downs Eye Fillet and Pappardelle Pasta with Beef Cheek Ragu. I asked for the steak to be rare and rare I received. The steak was paired perfectly with the red wine jus and silverbeet and Beetroot. The beef cheek ragu was soft and flavoursome, with a decent balance of meat and pasta.
Overall the food was delicious and prepared well however there are a few areas which we feel has let this place down, considering Cinco Bistro is demanding fine dining prices.
According to the website corkage is a steep $8.50 per person. However, we were keen to have our favourite wine for our celebratory dinner so we decided it was fine to cop the corkage. However, corkage was actually $9.50 per person when we got to the restaurant. If Cinco Bistro wants us to buy their wine, that's fine, just don't have BYO.
In addition, we were left to dine on large pieces of paper used to protect the table cloth. I mean is this fine dining or yum cha? If we're paying $9.50 per person in corkage, we'd like to eat off the table cloth.
What can I say? Haven’t been back at cinco for 18 months, all the old favorites and French classics are still there. The truffle / four gras tart is simply superb, the soufflé was no fault and the duck confit was Brisbane’s best: meat tender, falls off bone with a crisp skin. Peter also is handy with Moroccan cuisine, his tagine is up there with the greats. A great classic wine list by the glass: vat 1, grossest polish hill just to make a few. One of Brisbane ‘s best
Cinco is an upmarket bistro located in the inner city Brisbane suburb of Camp Hill.
The restaurant has gained a reputation as a ‘foodies’ paradise receiving praise from the hospitality industry and the general public.
Chef Peter draws inspiration from his world travels, authentic tastes are presented in the most stylish fashion.
A life long passion for food and travel, all bought together with love and care, sums up the amazing tastes at Cinco. 🍷🍷
Our Ecuadorian waiter was excellent and very patient 👌
(The Darling Downs Eye Fillet, Beetroot, Silverbeet, Lardons, Fondant Potato, Red Wine Jus was the clear winner,,,,🍖)

Have driven past this place many times over the years but never eaten there so decided to give it a try. Arancini with prosciutto were tasty but could have had a little more flavour. Duck confit with celeriac purée was cooked perfectly and really tasty with poached pear. The pork belly was delicious and cooked well. For desert we had the apple tart wth caramel sauce which was soooo tasty. Sangria cocktail was also really good. Overall really good food only negative is that it’s on the expensive side. Would go back but probably not frequently due to the price.
Amazing food! Waiters very friendly and attentive could not fault.
The pan fried olives for starter...AMAZING, need I say more. Pea and prosciutto arancini balls yummy also.
Main eye fillet steak (yum) Cooked to perfection, salmon with miso eggplant sooooo yum, however small serving could of done with more eggplant to salmon ratio.
Only downfall, Waited over an hour for main though, however 110% worth the wait and corkage very expensive at $8.50 each!!
Beautiful dinner at Cinco Bistro. Nice relaxed atmosphere and great service from the waiters. We had the eye fillet and haloumi and almond crumbed chicken. The steak melted in your mouth and the chicken was sensational. Will be back again
Fantastic. Could not fault. Had Rump Cap with the Green Bean plus the Beetroot and Sweet Potato Sides. Great pairings of flavours. Ordered the Rump rare which was simply devine and melt in your mouth. Sampled the Duck also, that someone else in our party had, which was also fanastic. We had an Italian Pinot Grigio which complimented the experience, Definitely a special occasion venue with a strong local following.
I did see that another reviewer compared it to the likes of Public (CBD), which I am not a huge fan of. This venue seems to be a bit more tangible and lacks the pretense that others do.
It's our go to for occasions
Always great food
Fantastic service
Menus changes are regular and can not fault it
Always find room for a dessert
My husband and I celebrated our 100th month anniversary on the weekend and boy oh boy.... how have we not heard of this place before??? We had a fantastic experience from booking to walking out of their doors. The night started off with the Quail for entré my husband had the market fish (Barramundi) and I couldn't go past the Duck confit. The flavours were beautifully balanced with good portion sizes. Furthermore, the service was attentive and surprisingly very quick! If you're a Brisbanite and haven't been here... do yourself a favour and check it out!! 👌🏽

My colleagues and I enjoyed a lovely dinner at Cinco Bistro in Camp Hill, an up-scale (not quite fine dining) bistro, where Chef Peter Stubbs serves up delicious 'Modern Australian' fare with a twist - utilising the best of Queensland's fresh produce and incorporating Asian and Mexican influences to make an otherwise European menu his own.
We began our meal with the Pea & Prosciutto Arancini with Aioli ($10), two Mooloolaba King Prawn Salads ($21), the Potato Gnocchi with Pork and Fennel Sausage ($22), Foie Gras ($21) and two orders of Scallops wrapped in Bacon ($22). The arancini were lovely and rated 3.5-4. The prawn salads were a bit dry and could have used more dressing, but were still very enjoyable and rated 3.5. The potato gnocchi with pork and fennel sausage was served with black truffle and parmesan cheese - a close second to 1889 Enoteca's gnocchi - and rated 4-4.5. The Foie Gras was smooth, creamy and abundant - this rated 4.5. The scallops wrapped in bacon were very good and rated a 4.
The highlights from the entrees were the Gnocchi and Foie Gras - both of which I would highly recommend.
For mains, we ordered four Wagyu Beef, two Duck Breast and a Grilled Barramundi. All of the mains were between $35-43. The Wagyu Beef was beautifully marbled (7+) and was served atop a homemade barbecue sauce with a sriracha-like sauce ringing the plate, fava beans and a unique version of kimchi topped with mushrooms. The beef itself was fantastic and the dish rated a 4-4.5. The duck skin was tender and the breast was tender - this rated a 4. My colleague who had the barramundi said it was the best fish she has ever eaten. The barramundi itself rated a 4.5, but unfortunately the curried potatoes that accompanied it were very disappointing. The overall dish rated a 3.5-4.
With the mains we enjoyed a Capri Salad (Caprese), Mashed Potatoes and Hand Cut Chips with Aioli. The Capri Salad and Mashed Potatoes were both average and rated 3-3.5, but the hand cut chips with aioli were exceptional and rated 4.5.
We finished the meal with a round of desserts including an Affogato, two Panna Cotta with Pear, three Salted Caramel Parfaits and a cheese plate including a Lingot Triple Cream Brie and Taleggio. The Affogato and Salted Caramel Parfaits were both extremely well received and rated 4. The cheeses were just what you would expect and rated 3.5. Unfortunately, the Panna Cotta hadn’t set and was still liquid. Recognising this, the server informed the kitchen and these were removed from the bill.
Overall, our experience at Cinco Bistro was quite enjoyable. We also appreciated that in addition to a full bar and extensive wine list, they are BYO and charge a very reasonable corkage. I look forward to returning to Cinco Bistro and give it a hearty recommendation.
Great food, lovely service & excellent wine list
The food at this suburban bistro is lovely and the wine list is really impressive. The staff are attentive but I thought it was a little pricey.
Just recently celebrated a wedding anniversary with a beautiful dinner at this restaurant. Staff are friendly, attentive and communicate extremely well. The menu is small but there's something to suit everyone. The food is obviously prepared with passion and tastes as good as it looks. Add this one to your list you won't be disappointed.
Fine dinning … absolutely delicious meals, worth the money spent. Excellent service Very friendly, courteous staff. Would definitely recommend 👍🏼
Cinco is still one of our go-to favourite places - especially when we want a fancy for-the-heck-of-it meal. Service is terrific and the meals are generous and beautifully balanced using the best ingredients. And they're super friendly and are loved locals
Amazing service, food is out of this world, every item on the menu is sensational. Every time we go there it's wonderful. Consistently. Prices are very reasonable too. Love this place - for a night away from dishes or a fancy night out- it won't disappoint.
One of my favourite Brisbane restaurants. The food is always amazing and the staff are lovely. The steak is always perfectly cooked and accompanied, and the apple tart is easily the best dessert on the menu.
Love this place! Please go, you won't regret. Food is always perfect. Only once was an hour wait for food but all other times they've been good with timing and red wine selection is nice.
On of the best meals I've had in Brisbane. A lovely little bistro in camp Hill, unassuming but has a great vibe and excellent staff. Will be making this spot a regular.
The food and winelost were outstanding
