About Kent Road Bistro

Wooloowin holds a serious culinary card with French bistro cooking that rivals downtown dining without the city noise. Chef Tim plates a three-course prix fixe with generous portions—think blue spanner crab, seared sea scallops, and wild barramundi. Guests frequently bring their own cellar bottles to pair with tender eye fillet alongside thinly sliced celeriac dauphinoise and an anchovy garlic aioli.

  • CBD-Caliber Cuisine: Diners consistently compare the quality of the steaks, scallops, and wild barramundi to high-end downtown establishments.
  • BYO Wine Friendly: A welcoming corkage policy allows guests to bring their own curated wines to complement the multi-course meal.
  • Three-Course Prix Fixe: Evenings center around an intimate, fixed-price three-course menu prepared by chef-owner Tim.
  • Inventive Accompaniments: Plates feature thoughtful touches like thinly sliced celeriac dauphinoise and house-made anchovy garlic aioli.

The Kent Road Bistro Advantage

Why diners choose Kent Road Bistro for memorable occasions and cellar wine pairings

  • Cellar-Friendly BYO Dining

    Guests can pair personal vintage cellar bottles with refined multi-course dining under an accommodating BYO format.

    It is so hard to find a restaurant that has a food offering like this whilst allowing BYO. I’m an avid wine collector and it was great to bring a nice bottle of my own wine to enjoy with the meal.

  • Crafted Multi-Course Set Menu

    Patrons enjoy a thoughtfully constructed multi-course menu offering structured European dishes and generous portions.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the three course menu and BYO option which allowed us to polish off a bottle of champage 😋 Each course was thoughtfully constructed and cooked to perfection

  • Intimate, Low-Noise Ambience

    A quiet, low-noise suburban dining room provides a tranquil contrast to downtown city dining pressures.

    The space was intimate and was easy to talk to my wife without all the noise.

  • Relaxed Change of Pace

    Guests experience memorable milestone dining and attentive hospitality without the rush of CBD venues.

    The old school service and change of pace from city dining was a real treat.

  • CBD-Quality Suburban Cooking

    Diners enjoy metropolitan CBD-level culinary technique and refined flavors right in Brisbane's northern suburbs.

    The quality of the food is def comparable and if not better than some of the CBD restaurants.

    The 60th I attended was in a private room, just perfect. Timing and quality of food was first class.

Customer-favourite mains and entrées from our French bistro menus

  • Steak

    I ordered the steak and it was incredible, it was so moist and tender it could be cut with a butter knife!!

  • Scallops

    I had the scallops for an entree, wild barramundi for main and chocolate ganache for dessert but there were many other options which were also excellent.
