Best Bistros in Donnybrook

Fantastic food and amazing service at a reasonable price. Would come again

hands down my favourite restaurant in Melbourne. excellent service - warm and friendly. the food is superb from start to finish including the desserts (so often the weak spot of Melbourne restaurants). a good number of options and cooked beautifully. the wine list is off the charts. so many great bottles to choose from. could not recommend highly enough

The servers were attentive. And made some good recommendations when we asked. The pork was a fantastic recommendation, easily the best I've eaten in a restaurant. Nice night out

In the last-minute rush to book a restaurant on Valentine's Day, Open Table saved the day and we managed to book a table for two at The Pier. The interior is tastefully designed and surprisingly quiet, allowing conversation without having to raise your voice. The menu should satisfy most diners, with dietary preferences catered for. We started with the burrata fresh citrus, pickled fennel jam & fig leaf oil which was delicious and augured well for the meal to come. We accompanied the buratta with the optional wood-fired bred, and I recommend you do too. Our main courses were the Summer Risotto and the Fish of the day (salmon on our visit); both wonderful. Popular choices at neighbouring tables included the Portarlington chilli mussels and the Wagyu bolognese. Political correctness precluded me from tasting what was on my neighbours' plates, but they seemed to enjoy their choices. We ended the meal with chocolate pudding, served with ice cream and macadamia. Another highlight was the friendly, efficient and unobtrusive service. Highly recommended.

Good service and food was well done. Basic pub style menu and great midweek specials. Not too crowded or noisy so we could actually have a conversation without yelling!! Unlike some other venues!
