Book NowAbout Myrtille Bistro Crows Nest
Housed in the historic Nolan’s Block, Myrtille Bistro trades predictable country pub fare for serious French technique and regional Queensland provenance. Soaring cathedral ceilings, timber floorboards, and low amber lighting set the tone. Longtime road-trippers and locals consistently praise the kitchen’s nuanced balance—anchoring French classics with subtle Japanese touches like tempura alongside twice-baked spanner crab soufflé and escargot. Waitstaff trace each cut and vegetable back to nearby Darling Downs farms, while sommelier Nivard pairs courses with standout cellar selections. Diners often linger through desserts of Roquefort brûlée before wandering next door the following morning for fresh patisserie pastries.
