Bistro Sociale
Southern Highlands Fine Dining

Bistro Sociale is the kind of place locals frequent, and visitors book… twice.

Timeless classics meet thoughtful twists; local ingredients treated with respect; a wine list that stretches from Bowral to Bordeaux, Tassie to Tuscany. White tablecloths and Riedel glassware, all the polish without the pretence.

By day, natural light floods through floor to ceiling windows. By night, mood lighting, conversation by a crackling fire, the clink of glasses or ice blend with low humming music that sets the vibe.

Intentional plating, generous portions, and service that knows how to read the room.

Executive Chef Nathan cooks with quiet confidence, letting produce shine, elevating familiar dishes without overshadowing them. Your Dory will sing through its tarragon sauce, not sink in it; a perfectly cooked steak arrives exactly as it should; even the humble root vegetable gets its moment.

Relaxed refinement is the heart of it. A favourite for locals bringing their visiting friends. Long lunches roll into early dinners. Birthdays, business meetings, anniversaries. Our all week round 2 or 3 course Prix Fixe lunch menu can’t be beat for value.

Come as you are, or dress up if the mood strikes. Either way, you’ll be right at home.
