Everywhere good to eat in Crows Nest

Want to eat like a Brazilian? Then head to BahBQ for a taste of Brazilian grill.

BahBQ’s main appeal is its special churrasco menu. Chefs spit-roast traditional Brazilian cuts of meat over charcoal and ironbark wood, while waiters run around the casual but intimate space continuously offering diners slices from large skewers. If you love interactive dining, you’ll love BahBQ.

The best thing? You can eat as much as you want! There’s a meat churrasco for $68, vegetarian for $49, pescatarian for $55, and a kids’ option for $30.

Seafood and steak are Salmon and Bear’s area of expertise. The restaurant has a casual and relaxed atmosphere, with plenty of natural light, decorative plant life and an outdoor courtyard.

The tasting menu features fish or steak dishes specially cooked in a Mibrasa, a closed grill oven. Otherwise, you can choose poke bowls and even tacos from the a la carte menu.

Don’t miss the cocktail list and its short but sweet list of concoctions. A Tommy’s margarita or Aperol spritz is particularly refreshing in summer.

Dish Cult’s top pick: Ora King Salmon with a lemon butter sauce and baby cos salad ($32.95)

Escape to a French bistro in the heart of Crows Nest at Le Bouchon.

Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, there’s plenty to enjoy at this effortlessly chic eatery. Go for a smoked salmon, crème fraiche and dill omelette in the morning, perhaps a classic Nicoise salad for lunch and, in the evening, that most traditional of dishes, escargots with persillade served with warm baguette.

Le Bouchon offers a variety of set menus as well as a degustation with matching wines. Whatever you choose take in the sophisticated atmosphere, with a wine glass in hand, and thank the French for their nous in the culinary department.

Dish Cult’s top pick: Twice cooked lamb shoulder with Provencale ratatouille and anchovy beurre blanc ($36)

If quirky dining is your thing, Luho Restaurant is the place to go. It describes itself as a ‘hawker-style’ eatery, making it the perfect venue to hit up with a group of friends for a fun night out.

Luho serves Southeast Asian cuisine, and you can pick from a menu that covers Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia, in various mashed-up forms. From typical fare like salt and pepper squid to much less typical prawn wonton tacos, and with lots of gluten-free options, there’s something here for everyone.

There’s also a bottomless rosé brunch on the weekend, that’s well worth the price of admission.

Dish Cult’s top pick: Thai panang curry ($29)

With a name like Tokyo Loco Bowl, it’s no surprise that this restaurant celebrates a classic of Japanese cuisine, the donburi.

Here, your donburi or bowl of rice, can came in a variety of guises. Go for miso-katsu, katsu curry or teriyaki and choose from chicken, beef, pork, salmon or tofu versions. If you’re after something spicier, don’t go past-the garlic-chilli, with jalapeno and red chilli sauce.

The atmosphere is casual Japanese, and with a kids’ menu and plenty of sides, it’s a great option for a tasty, quick lunch.

Dish Cult’s top pick: Salmon Teriyaki ($13.90)
