Conceptualised by Chef Rishi Naleendra and his wife Manuela Toniolo, the newly opened Cheek Bistro offers modern Australian fare - marrying the fresh, eclectic flavours of the cuisine style, with the comforting, hearty notes of bistro cooking. The kitchen is helmed by a young culinary team that trained under Chef Rishi at Cheek by Jowl.

Highlights on the a la carte menu include distinctively Cheek creations of Beef Tartare with Millet, Smoked Maple, Endives; Spanish Mackerel with Zucchini, Basil; and a dessert of Goat's Cheese Parfait with Berries and White Chocolate. To complement the food, the wine list offers over 80 labels from Burgundy to Burgenland. Cocktails and other beverages are also available.

Fans of the former Cheek by Jowl can expect to enjoy the same level of casual but attentive service that the restaurant was known for, in a more convivial setting that features cosy booth seats and an open kitchen. (Mar 2019)
