Best Brunch Restaurants in Bentleigh

A great place to kick off 2025. The restaurant was packed but the staff were friendly and unflustered. We were asked if we would like to move to a window table that became available - we took up the offer and enjoyed the wonderful view. Great assistance from a staff person in selecting our wine. Generous servings of food that was delicious. Minus 1 star for small portions of seafood in my pasta but aside from that I would highly recommend.

Hands down one of the best culinary experiences of my life. Every dish is perfectly balanced in flavour, consistency and colour. The quality of the ingredients is exceptional and the wine wilst has no end. Cannot report even the slightest issue, the staff is ready to help on every aspect and with the open space kitchen you can see everything happening all around, very tidy and clean. If I ever come back to Melbourne this will be on my MUST list and I'll definitely recommend this venue to all friends visiting the city.

Beautiful setting, exceptional food and attentive staff. Highly recommend James Said Bistro.

Fabulous food and drinks in a lively open setting. The Chef's Taste was fantastic and would recommend it for a group to share. Very good value for money - excellent quality and plenty of options. Highly recommend

Nice atmosphere and comfortable booth seating. Menu is small but reasonably varied although would have liked additional salad options (there is only 1) To be honest the food was ok without being outstanding - for the price I would have expected a slightly better food experience. Good sized serves - enough that we couldn't fit dessert in......Steak was perfectly cooked but would have liked a choice of sauces. My partner had the kangaroo which was quite chewy though seemed to be perfectly cooked (med rare) The sides were the best part of the meal. Crunchy roast potatoes and a nice zucchini salad.
