Bambini Trust

Bambini Trust Review

It's hidden behind huge black doors in one of the city's historic sandstone buildings, but once you're inside you'd swear you were in Paris. Dark-wood paneling, black-and-white photographs, and mirrors bearing the day's specials in flowing script lend a bistro feel. The fare is a little French, a little more Italian, and a fair sprinkling of Mod-Oz. We love to start with Alaskan king crab pannacotta, mizuna salad and gazpacho and follow with the popular cracked pepper spaghettini with a sautee of Yamba prawns, chilli and garlic.

The Italian ice cream or dark chocolate and raspberry tart are a lovely way to round off a meal. A pre- or postmeal drink in the marble-lined, chandelier-adorned Bambini Wine Room is a must.
