Anzac Street Bistro

On our return to Dartmouth, we were delighted to see Anzac had reopened and we immediately booked for dinner. It was great to see the warm cozy interior had not been changed and it retains all of its original atmosphere. There is a new tapas style menu, which was well explained to us, and a good wine list. The service was warm and friendly and the food was incredible, really fresh with amazing flavours, and beautifully presented. Chef really knows his craft. If you are in Dartmouth and you love great food, then Anzac is a must. We will definitely be returning.

*This is a review for dinner at the Bistro restaurant, not for the B&B (as we did not stay).* This restaurant had always been a firm favourite of ours in previous years. The ambience and cozy bistro vibe was a lovely point of difference to some of the other options available in Dartmouth. We were therefore delighted to see it had reopened. We were fortunate to be able to secure a table on the Friday of the music festival weekend, with Mick and Lucy playing. Wonderful to find the restaurant now being run by Maddie, who is clearly doing a great job. The ambience was exactly as we had remembered. We liked the new small plates / tapas model, which was helpfully explained to us and could get served / timed to our preference. We were relaxed about how / when the food was served, drinking the lovely wine and listening to the live music. We ordered lots from the new menu to make sure we had the opportunity to try as many dishes as we could manage! Three dishes per person (as initially recommended) is probably about right, though. The food was first class. Fresh, full of flavour and incredibly tasty. We had a lovely evening. Well done to the Chef, and to Maddie. We will most definitely return. (Oh, and Mick & Lucy were 10 out of 10, too! Please continue to have them feature at the restaurant!)

We enjoyed a superb meal here, of truly delicious and imaginative food. As it was the Dart Music Festival, there was also a very talented guitarist to entertain us. The only downside was the food took a while to arrive, as the restaurant was fully booked that evening. I am sure that will improve. Nonetheless, we would dine there again.
