Union Square Bistro - Martinborough

The restaurant had limited choices for Coeliac diners, but the staff were very accommodating and helped us find the safest options. We enjoyed the grilled halloumi as a starter, followed by the beef fillet and the market catch for our main course. The food was absolutely delicious. Although the portion sizes were on the smaller side and the prices were high, the flavors were divine! I would recommend it if you’re looking to treat yourself!

The menu doesn't have any gluten-free options, but we called ahead, and they assured us they could accommodate our needs. The staff were friendly and recommended which dishes they could prepare safely for those with celiac disease. We started with a delightful ceviche and a pear salad, and then we had what might be the best beef steak we've ever tasted—absolutely incredible. Unfortunately, the desserts (creme brulee and pecan tart) were somewhat disappointing. However, the amazing beef main course made the visit worthwhile. Just a note: there were no gluten-free side dishes available to accompany the mains.

I ordered the venison burger with chips. Venison free ranging from New Zealand and was very well seasoned. Toppings were cheese, lettuce and tomato with a really nice pickled onion and avocado spread with mayonnaise. I haven't always loved venison but this was superb.

The food surpassed our expectations—without a doubt, it was the best garlic bread we've ever had. We'll definitely be returning! The crispy skin pork belly had a fantastic crackle, and the duck salad was a flavor explosion—very fresh and truly satisfying.

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely meal here last night. We both had the eye fillet which was cooked perfectly and the sides/sauces were fantastic. Our server from Czech Republic was so lovely and attentive. We will see you again!
