Simple by design, driven by quality, his menu draws on coastal flavours and global influences without overcomplicating either. Barramundi in Tom Kha Coconut Broth, garlic prawns with saffron rice pilaf, premium steaks, charcuterie built for sharing, and breakfasts worth leaving the house for.The setting doesn't hurt either. Pelican Waters Golf Club is also home to Australia's only Greg Norman-designed 18-hole mini golf course, making it an easy afternoon that stretches well beyond the table.Open seven days. Bookings recommended.

    Great food and wonderful staff. The chief must be fantastic. It is a pity that the zeckiny was taken off the menu. Bocca is now our favourite restaurant.

    Our first visit to Market Bistro exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked through the door, we were made to feel genuinely welcome. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, creating a wonderful dining experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding. I ordered the sirloin steak, while my husband chose the scotch fillet, and both were cooked to perfection—tender, flavoursome, and absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were spot on, leaving us completely satisfied without being overwhelming. Combined with the fantastic ambience and exceptional service, it was a truly enjoyable evening. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend Market Bistro to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.
