State Bistro - Fitzroy New Zealand

Newly opened State Bistro offers a creative list of bar nibbles that leave your culinary curiosity satisfied and your stomach happy. My favourite was tempura prawns with its juicy core, crispy coating and aromatic spicy aftertaste. We also tried duck pâté in traditional European style with gherkins on the side. And mushrooms cigars were not your usual bar snack. Now need to check their lunches on Fridays and dinners.

Great new restaurant! We went for dinner tonight and have no complaints whatsoever, nothing but great things to say about State Bistro. The food was phenomenal, so was the service. Everything we ate and drank surpassed all expectations. My personal favorite were the oysters and steak. Every member of staff we were served by were exceptional. The whole evening was top notch. We will definitely be back again soon.

The food here is beautiful. I left the server to choose my dinner. It was worth it.

Menu is smaller but much better than when they opened. Would like to see more authentic French desserts on the menu. Went with my wife father, all of us having traveled to eaten our fair share of French food; we had the provence rosé, French onion soup (excellent)/burrata (very good) as entrees snapper (good)/eye fillet (good)/sirloin (excellent) with chips (excellent) as mains cremeux (good)/pannacotta (good) as desserts.. Excellent atmosphere good food; a nice place to spend 2 hours eating.. They have very cool bar/fireplace/cocktail seating; decor is very very nice. Recommend you get 1 of the 3 booth seating for meals.

Very good place. A little understaffed when I went there though for the number of people that were being served. Respect to the staff for always doing their difficult job with a smile and maintaining a professional demeanor.
