From my instagram WeekendFoodEscapes

From Matt's photography

Macleay St Bistro is in it's 37th year of operations and has long term standing customers. I have been to Macleay St Bistro twice last year and I am eager to return again for another delicious meal. Macleay St Bistro is perfection and is firmly locked in my food memory bank. So I have high expectations as it's my third visit.
