Southside Bistro

Southside Bistro is a must-try cafe/restaurant located in the sunnypark shopping centre that serves modern Australian and Asian fusion dishes! They are open for both breakfast-lunch and dinner, which makes them a great option for anytime of the day! 🙌🥰 We got : • Shichimi Togarashi Shredded Crab • Korean Army Stew Bao Buns • Beer & Chipotle Braised Lamb Shoulder • Homemade Potato Gnocchi • Jaffa Puffle My personal favourites were the bao buns and the lamb shoulder! The gnocchi was really nice too and it’s something I don’t get often so it was nice to have! 😌 BUT THE BAO BUNS - AMAZING! Probably one of the best I’ve tried! 🥰 The flavours of the dishes were very well combined and the portions were pretty good for the price! 💯 Highly recommend giving @ssbistrobne a try! I’m sure you’ll have a great experience! 🙌

Nice atmosphere, friendly and polite staff. Loved the special menu for lunch got the crispy pressed pork hock. The duck fat french fries 🍟 was really delicious. My Mrs got the Bao buns crispy shredded fish which she didn't enjoy as the fish texture was similar to panok breadcrumb though the Bao buns were good large portions. There is a dinner menu which we'll try next time!

Although it took approximately one hour to receive our food, the wait was totally worth it! The staff were nice and accomodating, and the food was delicious. I shared the 'Platter for 2' and the 'duck fat roasted French fries', where the latter is a must have. Surprisingly, the toast, croissant and hash browns were super crunchy - personally, I loved the toast the most. The only let down of the platter was the mini açai bowls which were more on the watery side, but still yummy nonetheless. The ambience of the cafe was cosy and aesthetic - I would totally come back to try the another dish and have their amazing duck fries again!

Service from staff was prompt, and the food/drinks came out very quickly. The Taro latte was so delicious, and I highly recommend ordering it. What we ordered off the dinner menu was an interesting fusion of Asian and Italian, the beef brisket with creamy polenta and fried barramundi with risotto. The creme brulee was so decadently smooth and yummy. I'll definitely be back to sample other dishes from their menu.
