BISTRO
    THE BISTRO
    A little like a country pub in the city, our Bistro is a warm, rustic dining setting looking out to our courtyard. It makes a great meeting place for lunches, dinners and special occasions. 

    We’re famous for our Steaks and generous sized meals. Together with an excellent, and extensive wine list and great staff, your dining experience will be one to be remembered. 

    The 112 tram route goes right past our front door and it only 5 stops from the Crown Casino precinct, and getting here from the city is a breeze. 

    Run by the Lewis Family for almost 27 years the pub has won many prestigious awards and legions of loyal fans.

    The Bistro is open everyday for lunch 12 noon until 3pm and dinner 6pm – 9pm

    Bookings are advisable. Call us on (03) 9690 4719 or Jane 0408 530 881 or via email eat@theemeraldhotel.com.au
