Ellacure Restaurant & Bar, Bruce

Restaurants, Italian, Modern Australian, Tapas, BYO

Overall 8  16

8.3 Highly Recommended

Food  8      Ambience  8      Service  9      Value  8     


We have been here 5 or 6 times now and have found it a pleasurable experience everytime. The staff are fantastic and are very alert to the needs of customers, constantly checking if things are ok. It is one of the few relaxed eateries that are quick to offer to decant BYO bottles.

The food is consistently good Italian style offerings and represents value for money. You need to book early in the week for a table on Friday or Saturday evening. This place is a standout in restaurant starved Belconnen.

I would not return to this restaurant. Menu is limited - they seem to have adopted an Australian theme featuring emu, crocodile and kangaroo. If you dont wabnt to eat the national coat of arms your options are limited.

Our four mains all had problems: a steak special and two duck dishes were all over-cooked, the other main, also a steak, was requested medium and was very rare in places. Presentation and overall quality was poor.

Of our three desserts: one, a pastry based tart, was returned to the kitchen as inedible glug (the owner explained it was prepared by the apprentice); two profiteroles looked like mini footballs and offered quantity over quality; the third, a sticky date cheesecake, looked like a store bought offering but was the better of the three dishes.

The cost of our meal was just under $200 for two serves of bread, 4 mains and two desserts (the rejected dessert was not charged for). This was very expensive for the standard of food provided. What was envisaged as a celebration family dinner was a big disappointment.
