Went for lunch during the week. Restaurant a quarter full.
Ordered a glass of wine which was splashed on the table - unnoticed by our waitress. The wines, both reds, were served very warm. Disappointing for a winery as reds at this temperature don’t show at their best.
We ordered the duck and an Aged Rib Eye steak. My wife enjoyed the duck but the steak was dreadful. It was served swimming in a butter sauce which was competing with another green sauce - it didn’t look appealing. The steak was fatty with a lot of gristle. I told the serving staff I regretted my choice and they indicated that it was a very fatty cut. It was an expensive lunch which, on this occasion, simply wasn’t worth it.

We had the 5 course dining experience and were not disappointed. Beautiful tasty courses with wonderful flavours and beautiful presentation. We had lunch and sat outside - very relaxing yet professional. The decor is understated and slick with interesting artwork and creations.Yes up there price wise, but worth the experience.
Can't wait to go back and taste the results of the new smoker.
4. Onesta Cucina

Local Italian Restaurant, family owned and operated, serving delicious, hearty and honest food & wine.
Reviewed By Oz-Amanda - Sydney, Australia
Onesta never dissapoints and delivers a fine, yet relaxed dining experience. There is always a friendly welcome, the decor is a combination of modern and traditional with a cosy atmosphere due to the subdued colour palette. The food is Italian with a modern twist. One gripe is having to pay extra for sides, as the mains are small without something extra. There is a comprehensive wine list with by the glass available. A great destination for a romantic evening, family dinner, or gathering of friends.
5. Raw & Wild Market Cafe

Reviewed By Joanne P - Bowral, Australia
Finally we have visited R&W for lunch and we were very impressed. The space is very attractive in a modern casual and slightly warehouse feel. The menu is extensive and focused on wholesome food beautifully presented and generous in size. Consider sharing!! There are a lot of vegetarian options which appeal even to devoted carnivores. Coffee was excellent and there are some appealing sweeter treats which don't come with too much guilt. Our only disappointment was the service. We were politely informed there might be a wait from the kitchen however there was a wait for everything. If the kitchen is busy then assuring your clients have a drink is pretty basic. Then after we had cleaned our plates of all the food we waited and waited for them to be cleared and to be asked if we would like a coffee. The staff were friendly however could do well to serve clients rather that chatting!!! Sorry but that's what happened.

Opened last week. Great ambiance and food
Reviewed By Got2try - Sydney, Australia
Ome is one of the BEST ambassadors to Bowral thai style. Just had one of the most delicious meals. Coconut cream prawn soup to die for. Vegetarian fried rice and stir fried fish out of this world. Its a BYO restaurant. ...toilets are at the back of the restaurant, me thinking dirty, surprise surprise so clean you could eat off the floor. Restaurant was busy being a Friday night. Heaps of young staff, and a wonderful attitude. The paintings on the wall is what caught my attention - beautifully designed. Restaurant is a MUST if in Bowral. A real credit to Ome and husband.

Our first visit to Eccetera was great (I think under new owners). Best pizza in the highlands, authentic. We also had the steak, stuffed calamari, torta caprese and panacotta for dessert which were all delicious. Friendly staff, we’ll definitely return and recommend to others.

We only dropped in to buy some bread but were enticed by the great array of food and pastries and decided to stay for lunch
This is a very small place with barely 6 small tables crammed into a very small space, more bakery then cafe but the food on offer is delicious with a small offering of rolls, pies and cakes with great coffee. We had a pulled pork roll and a sausage roll both delicious, the service was good with food arriving at out table very quickly.
The choice of breads and pastries are mouth watering, we walked out with a bag full of goodies. If you are travelling through Bowral this place is worth a visit
