Decent and speedy lunch at the Grand Bar Bistro. Not quite a 4/5 but a very good 3.5/5. The experience slightly exceeded my expectations of a bistro on St Georges Terrace.
I ordered the Wagyu Burger sweet potato chips and both were delicious. The burger was undersized for the price of $24 and the quality of the bun was somewhat questionable, but the patty itself was thick, juicy, and genuine. The pickles in the burger also added a nice balance to the overall flavour. The kumara chips were actually excellent. They were crispy, flavourful, and sweet.
Worth a visit if you don't mind the slightly higher prices. I would skip the actual restaurant, but the bar menu makes for a good Friday lunch.
This place looks very up-market from the outside, usually filled with people in suits, but a look at the menu displays a reasonable restaurant with something for every taste. I ordered the mushroom risotto last time I went and it was delicious!
Friendly staff, a decent range of menu items each well-made and reasonably priced, and conveniently located near multiple bus stops and in the heart of the city, this bar and bistro is a great place to go for lunch and dinner. The portion sizes are generous, the seating is very comfortable, and is a great place to visit if you want to dress up or attend after work.

Came here for a lunchtime catch up with a relative from France. We had the $25 lunch-time special which was Barramundi and a glass of wine (i think it was a semillon).
Serving size was good and the wine matched nicely with the fish. The wait time was a little long being around 30 minutes. Overall a good experience.
We went for dinner on Friday after work and drinks. We had a difficult table with several people with food allergies and highly restrictive diets.
Server Christie and Chef Laurent worked extensively with us to accomodate our dietary requests. Nothing was too much.
We could not recommend the Grand’s service and food more.
I came here to try an Entertainment book voucher and service was friendly although the organisation of the three various venues in the same spot was quite frustrating. There are $25 lunch deals with a drink upstairs in the bistro, lunch deals Mon-Wed in the other two downstairs areas but only the bar takes the Entertainment book. I'm glad I asked up front rather than be messed around by yet another book venue. So only one poor guy was running around doing absolutely everything including bar and food service, so I was impressed that he was calm, friendly amd efficient. He helped us order and choose, and we were happy that we could choose between sweet potato or normal chips for the side. The meals came after 15 mins and they were nice. My parmy for the $19 Wed deal was well sized and tasty - the parmy was a bit soggy but otherwise all good, hot and fresh. A good spot in a good location!
Had a decent enough lunch here. Chicken Parma with chips and bacon and a chickpea salad. Everything was good, drinks were cheap. Only thing I didn't rate was having to order at the bar like a country pub.
Went to Grand for dinner on a Friday night. The atmosphere was fun with an 'after-work' crowd. For dinner we ordered the entree ravioli and for mains the prawn tortellini and roast chicken dishes. The pastas were yum but the chicken was a little dry. The brownies for dessert were scrumptious! A little disappointed with the service, staff were friendly but inattentive.
Strolled in early for lunch and although we were the only people there at 11:30 we could order from the bar menu. The staff member's attitude was pretty casual but he was helpful.
We had steak with a beer / salt & pepper squid (with additional side salad) and a vino.
I enjoyed everything although the squid was way to salty.
It's in the centre of the CBD with people going in every direction outside, yet it was a calm oasis. Will be back for more.
Staff were professional and very accommodating, I must commend the Manager for going all out for us to ensure we were happy. Great ambiance, would recommend this venue for hosting events. Menu catered to all and food was was fantastic! could not fault this place!! will be returning very soon..Thank you Grand Bar and Bistro

The waitress in the restaurant today is a huge asset to this place, look after her! Pleasant, attentive, caring - faultless. I'd requested a high chair and it seems this wasn't passed on but no biggy at all.
I love the decor and ambience at Grand, even the toilets are beautiful, but the background house music is dreadful. I feel it brings the feel of the place down a lot.
Moving on to the food. We shared two entrees, a main and a dessert. We were very excited to find scallops and chorizo on the menu so chose that without hesitation. I enjoyed the dish however my friend found the scallops to be undercooked. The other entree was QLD crab etc with black sesame tuile. The flavours were delicious, and the unexpected hint of spice brought a smile to my face (I love spice).
The beef medallions were perfectly cooked however, not being a fan of potato, I found the accompanying potatoes super boring. I also felt it should have come with more sauce, especially as the sauce was super tasty.
All dishes were beautifully presented.
At this stage we were very impressed with the entire experience. Then the chocolate moelleux came out. It was extremely disappointing. It had collapsed into nothingness, the centre of it was about 3mm high, there was no centre sauce to speak of. And it was accompanied by the tiniest scoop of ice cream. We sat looking at it sadly for a while and our superstar of a waitress noticed and came over asking if everything was ok. With no hesitation at all she arranged to find out if the other moelleux were any better (they were not) and brought us out a sticky date pudding instead. It was a vast improvement but a fairly average dessert. It also came with a scoop of ice cream. I find vanilla ice cream such a boring accompaniment to a dessert.
Although it was a disappointing end to a lovely lunch, I couldn't possibly rate Grand less than 4. The prices are high and the portions are small however food is for the most part tasty and service is faultless. I will be back.
Grand is both in the Entertainment Book and on Dimmi for rewards points.

I recently had my 21st at the grand and fair to say everything was perfect. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, they made sure my 21st was a night to remember. The food that was provided during the night was tasty and amazing. The mangers Santosh and her Husband were of great assistance during the preparations and on the night as well. I would highly recommend the grand as the perfect venue if ever needed to host an event.
Cosy, executive bar in the heart of Perth. The service is friendly and welcoming, and we were very grateful for being hosted although we were extremely late. Good for groups, has an outside area, and I would consider it a small-medium venue. The platter we ordered was okay, it was not balanced as it mostly contained quite savoury foods, it definitely could do with different tastes. The venue could be improved also as the railing was loose and many lights were shorting. Overall good experience, I would return to try something else off the menu and for a casual drink with friends
Amazing ambience, food and drinks in this neat little gem on St George's Terrace.
The staff were extremely friendly and very knowledgeable of their stock. They happily recommended the Barramundi paired with their Cape mentelle SBS
Tried this amazing burger from the grand,service was really fast and amazing the crew are so friendly,the burger are so juicy this is worth it to come to finish your busy weekend.highly recomend and dont forget to have your beer to compliment the burger.two thumbs up.
An Excellent establishment with excellent cold beer. Steaks, pork belly, and Grilled chicken Burger were all big hits. The service was subtle and efficient. I strongly recommend it...
