Review Bull & Bear - Wollongong

Lovely service. Dog friendly out the front. Quite a lot of choices of food but the burgers /BLAT were a bit dry. Cold drip was very smooth. Edit: had to deduct stars as a friend got food poisoning after their fish and chips.

Would say the best 5 star restaurant in the entire Illawarra. Food is on point with flavour as well as the drink options they have for non-alcoholic drinkers. Atmosphere was sensational with calm and relaxing Spanish music. Staff were really friendly which enhanced my experience. Would definitely recommend and visit here again to try the whole menu.

Ordered numerous items with a large group of friends. Bacon was a little too crispy in my brekkie roll but was ok overall, if anything was quite small for the price. The fresa juice was ok, didn’t wow me like some freshly squeeze juices do. Staff hospitality could also be improved, cheerfulness in cafe restaurants go a long way. Not a terrible experience but I will look elsewhere next time I’m in the area.

The food was unreal and the coffee was fantastic. I’m from Canada so when I saw “Bear” in the name I had to check it out and I was not disappointed! Planning to come back for some late night tapas on the weekend.

Food was good. Service hmmm...put at a table and midway through our meal we were told that we they had a booking and needed the table. Given an hour to dine in and food coming 20 mins into that hour. Spending $160 on breakfast.... Not what I expected. First and last.

Had breakfast here recently. Excellent service and good food. Good options for everyone. Accessible. Indoor and outdoor seating. My only complaint is that they had the big front windows open and the food went cold really quickly.

Excellent service. There were only two wait staff when we dined on a Saturday night but they did a wonderful job looking after our big crowd. Food is above average.

We read good things about this cafe/ tapas bar and decided to head there for a lazy Sunday lunch. We arrived without a booking which for lunch is completely acceptable. We had no trouble getting a table and a very friendly waiter showed us to a table inside. There was a lot of people dining when we were there and the hard polished concrete floors meant that the volume got close to excessive a number of times. As far as ambiance goes the modern industrial decor is pleasant but the noise was a bit bothersome. The menu is extensive and includes Spanish, Mexican and more traditional cafe/ bistro fare. We ordered three mains from the lunch cafe menu and a round of drinks. The food was well prepared with fresh and flavourful ingredients. The serving sizes were adequate but a side of fries with a burger or a small salad with the mixed grill would have improved the value and enjoyment of the meal. Overall what we had was good but not excellent. I would love to come back and try some dishes from the tapas selection as I think this is what this venue is known for. In conclusion... I’ll be back to see what more this funky venue has to offer.

Bull and bear - more like bullshit and bear. The food that they bothered to bring out was fine but it's overpriced considering its small tapas of average quality. We had a large table booking and some of us got all of our food before others had received anything, drinks didn't arrive and then the manager and waitstaff were full of excuses without proper resolution. It should not take an hour to receive a small plate of bland and cold food! Also have never seen waitstaff leave so many empty plates on a cramped table. Would not recommend to friends. Might recommend to people I don't like

Where to start! Possibly the best breakfast experience in a long time. We were going to arrive just too late to order breakfast so I called ahead to see if we would still be able have breakfast and the waiter, Harry, suggested we pre order over the phone so that it would be ready for when we arrived. We got there twenty minutes later and a table was reserved for us we ordered coffees and not even 5 minutes later our food was on our table. It was the most incredible meal so many flavours and amazing presentation. I had the San Sebastián and my partner had El Gordo and we have never left a breakfast more satisfied. Thank you to the chef and wait staff at Bull & Bear, it was well worth the journey from Sydney WE'LL BE BACK !

Great Place to enjoy a beautiful delicious meal with great company Can not recommend this place enough! Food is Amazing, beautiful clean restaurant , friendly staff and an amazing chef �

AMAZE-BALLS!!! Super accomodating waiter on arrival, gave us a high chair that we had forgot to book for. We elected to have $45 Set Menu & every item was delicious! The only disappointment was that I could have had $45 worth of each dish. Will definitely be back! �

Real Spanish food excellent every dish we had was beautiful lovely cocktails, sangria, and wine. Staff lovely. Friendly atmosphere definitely be back �� should be a 10 star rating

What a dining expeience!!! Tonight we were served fantastic food and excellent customer service from 'Jake' our waiter. Always checked in on us and helped with our menu choices. Highly reccomend this place. We will defianlty be back. � Thank you.

I've eaten here many times and The food is always delicious and the staff are friendly and prompt in taking your order. The best breakfasts reasonably priced too! You need to get there early to get a seat it's always busy! A fav place of mine to eat!!!

We waited 1hour for 2 tapas dishes that the waitress forgot to put through! Then she tried to blame us. The manager was very flustered by it all and wasn't really confident in dealing with the situation. We had a table of 15 guests and food came out at different times. Guests were finished eating while others were waiting ages for good to arrive. Very inconsistent!

Delicious breakfast and coffee! The haloumi was amazing and poached eggs cooked to perfection! I’ve been here quite a few times now, mostly for breakfast and they always have delicious meals!

Thoroughly enjoyed the food, large portion size and fresh ingredients. Polite and efficient service for our brunch.

Popped in for late breakfast, amazing food, lovely friendly staff & got great service. Have been on several occasions & find it reliably consistent. Love the cold ice water bought to table on arrival without any prompting. Look forward to visiting for dinner soon.

Best cafe breakfast I’ve ever had, and, decent portions. The haloumi was cooked to perfection. �

My partner and I love coming here for breakfast- the coffee and food is Devine and the staff are always so friendly!

Amazing atmosphere, excellent and prompt service and the food was amazing. Have definitely found our new breakfast spot :)

An absolute gem of a restaurant . Service was up to American standards . Food was delivered quick and fresh and was just amaze balls. If you have not been here before then go and find out why they get my highest rating .
