Our restaurant offers a selection of quality meals prepared with the best produce available. Lunch is available Friday to Sunday and dinner Wednesday to Monday. On Tuesday the bistro is closed, woodfire pizza is served in the Brigadoon Bar. In March 2022 we revamped the dining space and renovated to include a new kitchen. At the same time a new Head Chef joined our team. Regulars love the new menus which change almost daily. Menu options are available for larger parties with the group menus proving very popular in the private dining room as well as the restaurant. When we finally see some sun the spacious beer garden offers other possibilities.Situated halfway between Sydney and Canberra the Bundanoon Hotel is ideally situated for friends, family or business gatherings and with 58 rooms available there's no need to drive home after a great night.

• Portuguese • Wollongong

Inspired by the bustling tabernas of Lisbon, Bar Lina is a cosy, fire-fuelled Iberian bar serving bold Portuguese and Basque flavours with an Australian wine bar feel.It’s the kind of place where everything revolves around the flame—smouldering embers, blistered veg, and snacky plates that riff on the flavours of Portugal and the Basque coast.Next door to Restaurant Santino in the heart of Wollongong, Bar Lina hums with warmth and energy. The wine leans Iberian and natural, and the soundtrack slides from the groove of prince to the head-nodding beats of Biggie. Expect stacks of vinyl, buttery lighting, and a room that feels as good as it sounds.Whether you’re dropping in for a quick glass and a bite, or settling in for the long haul, Bar Lina is about good wine, good food, and music that moves the room.While we love little ones, our restaurant is designed as an intimate space best enjoyed by adults. As such, we are unable to accommodate children, including infants and prams.

    My partner and I go to Kneading Ruby for all birthdays & special occasions, we are always returning here for menu favourites and to try new rotations on their menu. The food is exceptional and the staff are extremely accommodating and attentive to all customers, they always treat you with a bubbly attitude and have a smile on their face. For the quality of the food, the price is super affordable, and the portion sizes are always perfect. Desserts are a must always when visiting Kneading Ruby, especially their dark choc tiramisu with the pistachio glaze. The garlic bread, crudo and pork coletta are all must try’s if you visit! I always recommend Kneading Ruby to my friends & co-workers for any occasion, it has the perfect ambience for a date night or a night out with friends or family!

    The beach side bistro is a great place for dinner with family or out with friends. The food is fantastic, the staff so friendly and fun and the value is good. Both the day and night views over the water and beach and amazing if you're lucky enough to get a window table.
