The experience is designed to be enjoyed together and bring forward strong feelings of familiarity, like you’ve been here before.Was it that little village where no one spoke english, but you had the most amazing stir fry served on a leaf? Or was it when you went to L.A. and tried Banh Mi for the first time?Whatever it is for you, our food is going to make you feel some type of way. Textures that crunch, aromas to make your mouth water, flavours that make you vocal (argh) & aesthetics you’ll want to share to your story.Did someone say drinks? Our cocktail list will hit you with nostalgia that reminds you of that holiday, where you had a butler, a poolside cabana & an endless supply of fresh coconut

This was one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Ranging from the service to the food to the cleanest toilets! The food was exceptional and the service just as good. Try the scallops - you wont regret! The waitstaff from bartenders to waiters were incredible. Congratulations to Simone for creating this restaurant. We will definitely be back next visit 😊

Wonderful meal again at Gum Bistro. Sunday lunch at Gum Bistro means welcoming service and great food and drinks. You can't go wrong picking anything on the food and the drinks menu. Our mains were the Fish, Quail and Vegetable Gratin. All beautifully prepared, cooked and tasted fabulous. An extensive drinks list and an extended wine list means you can be sure that anything you feel like drinking is covered. A very enjoyable lunch!
