Millwater Bistro & Bar is a restaurant and bar at 175 Millwater Parkway, Silverdale, holding a 4.5 rating from 182 Google reviews. Diners single out the accommodating, friendly staff, the good bar atmosphere, a Sunday sirloin special and the crumbed button mushrooms, a vegetarian plate the chef recommends alongside a beer.
The bistro-bar trade runs on weekly rhythms, so it pays to ask what is on the specials board: steak nights and Sunday deals are often the best value, though some ask you to buy a drink to get the full price. Regulars also judge a kitchen by its smaller plates, and a good vegetarian dish or bar snack often says more than the mains do. A bar full of locals on a weeknight is the most honest endorsement a neighbourhood bistro can get.
For Millwater locals and anyone passing through Silverdale, it's a handy spot for an unfussy dinner and a beer.
