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?

Brilliant service, super cosy atmosphere and the most drool-worthy, authentic Italian we have had for a long time in Brisbane. Incredibly accommodating and I could not fault a thing. Home made focaccia to go with our charcuterie was DELICIOUS, super generous pasta servings and I even had a non-alcoholic spritz made that was just like the real thing. Definitely coming back. Do yourself a favour and try COMO! Bravo team 👏

The staff were helpful in assisting me and guided me to the perfect lunch for one. I generally would t have a cocktail for lunch but fell in love with the blood flower. Very creative. This went well with my chicken dish in the bento section of the menu. Flavours were amazing.

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!
