Saturday plans? Sorted. 🥂
Champagne Happy Hour returns this Saturday from 3–6pm.
Sunny terrace tables, French bites, flowing bubbles, and that perfect Newtown afternoon feeling.
Inside is warm and cozy. Outside is glowing.
Either way, we’ll save you a spot.

For the Geminis ♊️
the charmers, the flirts, the ones who said they didn’t want dessert and are now three spoonfuls deep in yours.
A Pistou gift voucher makes a very good birthday gift.
Though taking them to dinner yourself might be even better.
Book a table or send a little something their way in our bio.

Warm vibes, good wine, and scallops worth talking about 👏
Perfectly seared scallops over silky roasted capsicum coulis, topped with shaved fennel salad in a citrus and coriander seed vinaigrette, fresh basil oil, and crunchy Brickfields sourdough crumb.
Light. Bright. Rich. Crunchy. Everything you want on one plate.
The kind of dish that feels a little bit like Paris, a little bit like home, right here at Pistou in Newtown 🇫🇷
Join us for dinner this week and see why this dish is quickly becoming a favourite. ✨

Creamy burrata, autumn tomatoes, delicate herbs and a drizzle of balsamic - simple French-inspired flavours done beautifully 🌿✨
Pair it with the perfect wine from our list, because good food deserves good company 🍷
Escape to a little corner of France with us at Pistou this autumn 💚

Ooey, gooey, and just the right kind of indulgent ✨
On the board: Brebirousse d’Argental - a soft, washed-rind sheep’s milk cheese with a silky, spoonable centre, gentle nuttiness, and a hint of mushroomy depth.
We’re serving it with Tasmanian leatherwood honey 🍯 and warm, crusty sourdough. Sweet, savoury, and very hard to share.
Best enjoyed with a glass in hand and nowhere to be.
Come into Pistou and make a moment of it.
For a short time only 🥂

Emma’s favourite🍷🇫🇷
Her pick is Domaine de Beaurenard Rasteau. A beautiful wine from Châteauneuf-Du-Pape, Côtes-Du-Rhône. Black berries, spice and a beautiful tanin… This is the perfect companion to our red meats (we recommend to pair it with the pork…).
Come and try it at Pistou!🌿

🎺🎺🎺 New cheese special 🎺🎺🎺
Not all blues need to shout… some just seduce 😌
Gorgonzola Dolce by Castel Regio. Soft, creamy, and unapologetically indulgent. Buttery, mild, with just enough tang to keep you coming back for “one more bite” (again… and again).
This is the blue you bring out when you want to impress… without trying too hard.
🧀 On as our cheese special
🛍️ Or take some home and let it melt, spread, and steal the show
Honey, figs, warm bread… you already know.

Isaure’s recommendation🍷✨
La Giustinianna Lugarara, our new white wine is her personnal favourite. Sharp and ambitious, just like her really!
Come and try it at Pistou!

Our new cheese special🧀
We all know burgundy for their amazing wines… But the french terroir seems to be endless. Crémeux de Bourgogne is the proof. Extra creamy and decadent, it is perfect to try with our new wine special: lugarara. The French-Italian marriage never disappoints!
See you soon at Pistou🌿

✨Our new scallops recipe has arrived ✨
Perfectly seared, tender on the inside, and elevated with our homemade pickled grapes 🍇 a balance of delicacy and bright flavours in every bite.
We think you might just come back for it… one more time.
See you soon at Pistou!

Meet the diva of deli meats.
100% Wagyu beef, linen-wrapped, cloth-aged, and dressed in a bold pastrami spice coat - because basic just isn’t its vibe.
Velvety, intensely beefy, unapologetically extra.

Edith 🖤
Nicknamed “The Bitch” (and proud of it), Edith is the ash-coated goat’s cheese from Woodside Cheese Wrights in the Adelaide Hills that totally steals the show.
Young? Fresh, chalky, a little flirty.
Mature? Oozy, bold, and dangerously irresistible.
Warning: she will be the main character on your cheeseboard. 🧀🔥

Alpine Negroni 🏔️
Your favourite Negroni just went hiking.
Made with alpine Génépi from Chambéry in the French Alps : herbal, bold, a little bitter, and way too cool for sea level.
Fresh mountain vibes. Zero altitude sickness. 😉
Come taste the altitude. 🍸

What people say
Mediterranean restaurants are known for their delicious food, great wine, and relaxed atmosphere. Pistou, located on King Street in Sydney, is a perfect example of a neighbourhood restaurant that embodies all of these qualities. With its warm and inviting ambiance, it's the perfect place to unwind after a long day or catch up with friends over a meal.
One of the standout dishes at Pistou is their native pepperberry salami - it's simply mouth-watering! And when paired with their premium Bouey Les Parcelles wine from St. Emilion, Bordeaux, it's an experience you won't forget.

If you're looking to host a private function or large group dinner, Pistou has got you covered. Their friendly staff can cater to any dietary requirements and offer an excellent selection of set menus and beverage packages. All you have to do is sit back and relax while they take care of everything.
And if you're in the mood for something light yet satisfying, be sure to try their burrata served with marinated roast capsicum and pistou - it's absolutely incredible! Whether you book ahead or walk-in, Pistou welcomes everyone with open arms. So why not come in and experience the good food, good wine, and good times for yourself?
