About Heart Of Europe

Tucked away in Ormiston, this European bistro brings classic French cooking and neighbourhood intimacy without the inner-city markup. Owners work the floor like family, pouring wine alongside seasonal French plates. Redlands regulars point to the signature garlic prawns with crunchy baguette—or snapper bathed in rich bisque—paired with live jazz sets on Friday nights. Tuesday evenings dial it back with an accessible two-for-one menu featuring fresh pasta. Dinner wraps up quietly over classic desserts, letting the table linger as the last notes fade.

  • Live Jazz Evenings: Regular dinner sets bring live jazz ensembles right to the floor, pairing horns and upright bass with bistro plates.
  • Midweek Two-for-One: The weekly Tuesday special offers a two-for-one menu featuring freshly made pasta and risotto.
  • Seasonal European Menu: The kitchen sticks to a tight, seasonally rotating roster featuring garlic prawns, tender steaks, and snapper in bisque.
