![Zomato]( "Recensione")
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,,,,🍖)
