The Bowlo Bistro

Visited here after having dinner the previous evening in a much more renown restaurant.
While the atmosphere was as you could expect from a local bowling club we were very surprised by the size and quality of local fish dishes. We chose it with mash and vege and were not disappointed.
Very friendly staff!
And the coconut pie for dessert was to die for.
We will come again!

Enjoyed everything we ate here and the value is the best we found on Norfolk. Tried battered Trumpeter, pan fried King Fish, Ceasar Salad & BLT. All excellent, great side salads and perfect fries.
Bar was also great value and the service good too. Great spot in the middle of town.

$55 for a schnitzel and spring rolls… And even at this price sadly dinner was undercooked and still raw/frozen on the inside. When we asked for a replacement that’s fully cooked, they just chucked the existing food back in the fryer for a few more minutes and gave us back the burnt ends.

Biggest T.bone steak I have ever eaten and so tender a must do on Norfolk Island and only $34

For the price, quality and quantity, the best place to eat on the Island. My sister and I visited the island and it seemed there was a general shortage of fresh veg. Meals were simple and well-presented club fare, with an adequate salad.

Brilliant lucked out and arrived during happy hours. 4/6pm. Enjoy a great location. Back tomorrow

Cold beer / friendly staff / fair prices / cold wine. Unfortunately bistro being renovated
Just go!

We had the best time on Norfolk Island. We ate at the bowls club a lot, and it didn't disappoint. Yummy desserts too!

If every visiting Norfolk Island this is the place for a meal. Either lunch or dinner both great value and variety. No problems serving the multitude of people who turn up. Usually no worries getting a table but with more and more people finding this great food that is served there, just drop in early and get a reservation. Also great prices on the menu and freshly caught fish of the day and a great beer / wine served at the bar with great wait staff and friendly approach well recommend this venue.

Great lunch venue. Generous appetising well presented meals in a relaxing environment. Each meal we had at the Bowlo was special. Another, must do on any NI holiday.

Great place to have lunch and dinner. Seafood dishes are a must. Betty and the staff are fantastic. Worth a try. Booking daily. It is so good that we were there 2 nights in a roll.

Lovely place for a drink and relaxed pub type meal. Our group had 2 Crumbed fish meals which were both dry, over cooked and average, The battered fish and steak were great. Maybe just an error on the night, otherwise good for easy feed.

Absolutely incredible food, doesn't get any better than here. Lively atmosphere and a welcoming place to visit if you'd like to chat with the locals.

The Bistro in the Bowling Club has an excellent menu. Quality food and generous portions with a friendly service make this one of the best on the island. We went there early, around 5 pm so were lucky to find a table. Could be harder to get a table if late proving this is one of the best.

Just the best food ever, I've broken my vegan diet multiple times here because I just forget to care the food is so good! Great service and friendly atmosphere.

A very nice club with delicious meals! Their garlic prawns for dinner is excellent and I also recommend the roast vegetable salad at lunchtime!

Great place for an evening meal. Good portions and will cooked, and not expensive. Wine is reasonable too. Staff are great.

5/5 For club/pub meal - huge plates of food, all cooked well (including steak to individual preference), fresh and tasty. Friendly and fast service! Highly recommend!

Loved the food here that was excellent value for money and generous portion sizes.

I dined twice during my stay and could not speak highly enough of the experience.

The Bowlo Bistro serves a great range of meals for dinner and can get very busy. So remember that your not in a big capital city and your meal will come but served in Pacific time.
Good range of beverages, however soft drinks might not be available on the odd occasion because the freight hasn't arrived.
Staff are very friendly and happy to assist you.

Highly recommended
