Southside Bistro

easi logo - Southside Bistro

Tucked away behind Sunny Park, this cute little café and bistro celebrates the marrying of centuries-old Asian cuisine with modern Australian dishes.

The laid back and rustic cafe serves up superb coffee, homemade cakes and a menu bursting with unique flavours and textures.

The young couple behind the popular haunt, Max Leung and Cindy Hsieh, are two culinary mavericks that are shaking up Sunnybank’s food scene.

Both second generation Australians, the duo merge the Chinese food they grew up eating with contemporary flavours, to create exciting and original dishes.

Recommendation

A visit to Southside Bistro isn't complete without trying their signature dishes.

Two culinary mavericks are shaking up Sunnybank’s food scene

“My dad is a chef who has worked in fine dining restaurants across Hong Kong and Brisbane,” Max said. “I’ve learnt all my skills and knowledge from him as well as being really interested in new innovative recipes from around the world.”

In their spare time, the couple travel around Australia and the world and dine at different restaurants, cafes and markets to uncover new and exciting recipes.

“We have brought our favourite dishes that we have tried and loved in Japan, Melbourne, Taiwan, Singapore, Sydney back to our cafe in Sunnybank,” Cindy said. “Max loves to work with our head chef to experiment with different dishes and flavours to create our menu items.”

If you’ve looked at Instagram lately, you are sure to have seen Southside Bistro’s drool-worthy fare across your Insta-feed. The cafe is known for their crispy ramen burger, sizzling chocolate brownies and its super crunchy and indulgent Wagyu-fat roasted french fries.

A visit to Southside Bistro isn’t complete without trying their signature slow cooked lemongrass, soy and tamarind lamb ribs served with kaffir lime scented rice, fried onion, mint and coriander. Or order their fluffy bao burgers stuffed with double-cooked pork belly, sesame crumbed chicken or slow cooked lamb.

If you’re after a sweet kick, the bistro serves an amazing array of desserts. Think deep fried matcha ice cream bao, honey and sriracha frozen parfait and milk tea panna cotta.

Open for breakfast, lunch and late night tapas and dessert, the bistro is the perfect stop at any time of the day. If you’re keen for breakfast after lunch, no stress – the cafe serves brunch until 2.30pm. And if you’re wanting a wine, beer or fruity sangria – the bistro is fully-licensed.
