   Incredible dining experience. The best food I’ve eaten in Melbourne, wonderful staff, really relaxed ambiance. Couldn’t have picked a better restaurant for my birthday celebration. I will be recommending Bistra to everyone.

   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

   Food was excellent unfortunately very small space our table was too close to the loud table of 4 next door. Wines by the glass disappointing and very expensive.

   Bistra is a gem. It is everything that I want a restaurant to be. From the instant you walk through the door you can sense that you are going to have a great experience and it doesn’t disappoint; warm and knowledgeable staff, beautiful produce cooked with love and fine technique, a delightful intimate space… Can’t wait for our next visit.

    Another great meal well overall experience at Bistra! It really is a pleasure to be served by someone that know what they are doing and there menu! There are some things I can't go past like the pate and the scallops. Even for a more casual Thursday dinner (i.e. not drinking bottles of wine) the tight selection of wine by the glass covered all bases. Shout out to the lamb rump... so delicious and something that I wouldn't normally order but I am glad we did! Oh also the martini was stellar... but it was still a quiet Thursday dinner!
