Campsie South Bowling & Recreation Club — Restaurant in Sydney

Been away for some years and craved for calamari. Was at Bondi over the weekend and I thot: can’t go wrong. Boy was I wrong. The chips were thin and overly browned and worst of all was the panko covered calamari that tasted more like fish paste. So am so VERY happy to taste the good ol calamari I’ve been dreaming of here at Bistro on the Lawn. Beautifully fried to a crisp yet not oily to the taste, the aioli sauce was spot on, not tartare sauce thank you. The salad of rocket with balsamic syrup went well to cut the richness of the entree.

The main course of prawn & garlic pasta was just beautiful, with the right ratio of garlic, salt and olive oil, a real delight. The portion was on the generous side too. The medium rare Angus rump was so juicy, with just the right amount of searing on the outside, so when you chew each mouthful you get the wonderful aroma and taste of charred meat, mixing with that mouthwatering natural juice from the steak. Just as well the meat was so good on its own as the pepper sauce was a let down. Tasted more like medicinal menthol & pepper gravy, it just didn’t grow on me.

Must go again to try the rest of the menu. The staff were lovely, their little helpers were quite cute too. Street parking around the perimeter of the club along Jarrett...

Everything about this club is phenomenal. The service, the people, the layout, everything. The club president was so accommodating to all of our needs and expresses when booking the venue that they value highly on a family friendly/ and dog friendly area. I had my 30th here and they easily accommodated over 120 people with kids and dogs. There was enough room for a jumping castle and the whole day was an incredible success. I highly recommend this venue for any occasion. The bar staff were beyond amazing, parking was also more than accommodating with plenty of street parking around the club. It’s an absolute 15/10 from me and everyone who attended my birthday. I Highly, highly recommend this venue and how they fairly price their services and treat...

Classic old fashioned bowlo and it was great to see players out on the green. Bar was nicely setup, friendly staff, drink prices on par with other venues.

Came to eat lunch at La Cucina Bistro, had previously seen a very reasonably priced lunch menu on their website (a few months ago) but this has since been discontinued. Standard menu is very expensive. $34 for a chicken parmy for visitors? $52 for a scotch fillet steak? This is a bowlo with bowlo style ambience and long laminate tables, not a fine dining establishment.

Ended up sharing a supreme pizza ($29) as it seemed the best value. Pizza was fine, wasnt wood fired but wasnt advertised as such. Nice housemade tomato sauce and generous with the meat and sliced ham. Could have had more cheese...
