Deer Duck Bistro

This restaurant provided us with such a nice experience. We felt indulged and well cared for. During our dinner we made plans to come back in future! Delicious food, great wine, great atmosphere, attentive staff and reasonably priced for a gourmet experience. Will definitely visit again.

Second visit was just as impressive as the first...we will be back and happily recommend this place!

The food was overrated and expensive. The centre tables had no lighting, so we couldn’t even see what we were eating.

Service was top-notch, food was exquisite and the interior decor was so unique :)

The food was amazing, the staff were friendly and polite and the atmosphere was very romantic. Definitely going back again!

With the first bite of each course you get that 'oh wow' feeling at how delicious the food is. The atmosphere and service were also great. Each table gets enough space for some privacy.

The service is always incredible and the food sensational. Recommend

Lovely venue, superb food, excellent wine, and friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great value for money for a special occasion!

It was pleasant to have a quality restaurant in the suburbs

Really interesting venue, amazing food, we’ll be back! Shut sharp at 10pm

Brilliant One of the few places I’m happy to spend money on food

Excellent wait staff and great atmosphere. Presentation of the food was great, very subtle flavours.

Celebrating our 2nd anniversary, we ordered the long course with wine pairings. They did a great job of matching wines with the courses. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. Each dish was full of new and exciting flavours, and many Incorporated native Australian ingredients. We had an amazing night.

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience at the Deer Duck Bistro. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere brilliant and quiet, the service was outstanding. Just excellent.

Goede sfeer, met heerlijke eten. Een uniek ervaring in Brisbane.

A wonderful set of vegetarian dishes - we’ll be back!

Excellent food, amazing service, wonderful atmosphere. We had a great night out.

We had the long course which was devine. The wait time was a touch long between servings.

Wonderful food, and exceptional wines, 5 course degustation with matching wines is highly recommended.

Amazing food and atmosphere, really appreciate the decor and the friendly staff. Drink menu was somewhat limited and wait between each course was sometimes a bit long.

Well done degustation menu. Service slow at parts but fine

Creative and very tasty dishes. Setting was very well done.

Great food, beautifully matched wines - the perfect spot to catch up with friends.

Such an amazing dining experience from the vibe in the restaurant to the food and the friendly staff. Simply amazing. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Third visit to this great restaurant- 5 course degustation food and service outstanding- the matching wines, whist perfect match, were minimal serving especially the red wine but would definitely return

Nice ambience. Friendly staff. Unique decor. Tucked away hidden gem in Auchenflower. Food was amazing - enjoyed every single one on the short course menu

We had a 8.30 sitting with a set menu for Valentine’s Day with 1 vegetarian set and 1 normal set, we arrived early for a drink and the chain of events that followed was terrible. -8.45 checked with staff about booking, I was informed that previous sitting was running late but won’t be long -9.05 seated 35mins after booking, very hungry -9.40 first course is served, with no explanation of why it has taken 70 mins from our booking time to receive a slice of bread and a scallop -9.42 remind waiter that we have booked with 1 vegetarian set, waiter goes back to the kitchen with all food -9.45 remind wait staff to bring champagne, 40 mins after being seated -9.52 waiter brings first course again, we are seriously considering leaving at this stage and tell the waitress that we will need to leave at 10.30 and if service could be faster. -9.55 our drinks arrive, 50 mins after being seated -10.15 second course arrives, 70 mins from seating, we nearly leave -10.20 third course arrives -10.30 desert served -10.40 pay bill Whilst paying, I was asked about my experience and staff member apologised for the late seating and asked if I would return. I told him I can understand that it’s a very busy day and that delays had a compounding effect but I also told him that it wasn’t good enough at this level of fine dining and at these prices. I left saying that it is now nearly 11pm and I would never return again. Our planned romantic dinner date away from our 3yr old was a fine dining disaster, unfortunately we were the first table to leave out of another four in the late seating. I can only assume there were there closer to midnight, not by choice. The only positive is the food was delicious and some staff were prompt and responsive, we will never return.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service! We were there for valentines day and we thought it was an amazing experience. We will definitely be back again

Overall it was a good meal. However, expeinced mixed service staff, who had limited knowledge of the menu. Meat was also over cooked in two dishes which was disappointing.

First up let me say this was one of the nicest dining experiences of my life. We had a degustation dinner and the flavours were wonderful and service excellent. Only down side was that we were unaware before arriving that there was no a la carte menu (as most other patrons in our area of the restaurant were.)

Great atomoshphere, decoration and most importantly food. We enjoyed the 7 course degustation menu and thought that the oricchiette and sous vide duck were particularly tasty. We had a fabulous evening at the Deer Duck Bistro. Only vague faults were the drinks service was a bit slow (given the rating of the Bistro) and the beer selection given the proximity to so may great breweries was a little generic.

Deer Duck has great (really great) food, lovely service and a wonderful atmosphere. Such a gem in an unexpected place. We'll be going back for sure.

This is the most amazing restaurant. The food is like nothing in this world. The ambience, service and food are superb. The degustation is simply one course after another of sheer delight. Truly a dining experience not to be missed. .

Great restaurant with incredibly delicious food. We had the short course degustation which was just the right amount of food for us with a good variety. The wait staff very attentive and pleasant which made the night even better.

Don’t let the name fool you, these guys offer the most incredible vegetarian ( and non-vegetarian) degustations. Impeccable service, eclectic surroundings, Deer Duck Bistro is like you’ve jumped in a time machine and traveled back to Paris in the late 1800’s. I cannot wait to return. Thankyou for a wonderful dining experience!

Gorgeous food, would highly recommend the long course with matched wines, sublime atmosphere and lovely staff, we will be back again, looks like a great venue for an intimate 30th ;)

Degustation menu was delicious as was the old world mood lighting and professional service. Just loved the unique surrounds. The menu is brave but worked a treat for our special occasion. Bravo!

I have been looking forward to this dining experience for almost two years and it did not disappoint! We did the long course which took a good four hours ; some stellar out standing dishes served included venison carpaccio, lamb on cauliflower purée, fresh bread with truffle butter, poppyseed cheese cake, the orecetti with pork speck! Cocktails were delicious but no standout. I could say clams were slightly rubbery and service slow but these are minor imperfections noticeable. All in all a lovely place to celebrate a birthday in a romantic whimsical atmosphere. Thank you 😊

Wonderful service with lovely staff, atmosphere was romantic and the food really beautifully presented. I loved the use of native ingredients, overall I would go back again.

We thoroughly enjoyed the short degustation course and the service was really good. We attended on a Wednesday night so it was not too busy which made the experience more enjoyable given that we were celebrating our 10 year Anniversary. I would highly recommend and would go back again.
