Sauce Bistro, a quietly confident new arrival on Ashgrove’s Frasers Road, brings chef Stuart McGill and sommelier Misa Ohshige’s high-end sensibilities to an inviting neighbourhood setting. The duo look to impress with a concise, modern-Australian menu woven with Japanese and European influences – think house-smoked meats, sashimi, house-made breads and handmade pastas, all crafted with uncompromising technique. A 120-bottle wine list and a notable selection of junmai sake ensure smart pairings, whether for a quick snack, a glass at the bar or a long, relaxed dinner. Warmly received by locals since opening, Sauce Bistro aims to be the kind of place you can drop into casually yet still experience standout cooking and hospitality.
