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.
