PortSide Bistro & Bar — Restaurant in South Island

Food is top notch from probably the best chef and kitchen staff in Westport, very polite waiter staff and head of house was amazing help ,very accommodating to your dietary needs .if you need or want something or can't eat certain food just ask, they're more than happy to do it for you. Try any of their bistro burgers or pastas or fish n chips or their freshly cooked calamari ,beautifully prepare and presented. if you are an eater of pork this place is for you ,gorgeous satays,mouth watering steaks and every salad you can imagine. The Range of different desserts will satisfy you ,try the brulee' or sorbet or all of it , it's that good 😊 . They also have a vast range of beers,wines and top shelf spirits.I have yet to try their breakfast menu, but will in the near future.if you ever come to Westport I highly recommend that you visit , Portside Bistro and Bar, Thank you Emma and Matt n Staff well worth...
