Bobby's Wine Bar & Espresso

Bobby’s Wine Bar & Espresso is New Farm’s charming cafe by day and a romantic, softly lit wine bar by night.

Think warm hospitality, thoughtfully crafted plates, curated wines, and a tucked-away spot beside New Farm Park that makes every visit feel like a little discovery worth returning to.

Step inside and you’re greeted by deep wine-red walls, the enticing aroma of freshly baked croissants, and modern art adorning the space. Every detail, from the carefully selected decor to the relaxed seating, is designed to create an atmosphere that’s both cosy and sophisticated. It's a perfect backdrop for leisurely brunches, intimate dinners, or a quiet glass of wine after a day in the park.

A must-try is Joedy’s Soldier Eggs: avocado, burnt butter peas, two soft-boiled and pickled eggs, red pepper pesto, and puffed rice paper served on sourdough - it's a dish that looks as beautiful as it is delicious. The combination of textures and flavours is perfectly balanced, making it a standout on the menu. It's also recommended to try their trio of mushrooms. This dish features house-made arancini, a perfectly poached egg with a luxuriously runny yolk, seasonal greens, and fried enoki, all served with a silky, flavour-packed pumpkin puree.

Feeling like something fresh? You can’t miss their Ponzu Salmon Katsu Bowl. Tender, crispy salmon is paired with vegetable rice and topped with furikake, pickled radish, creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, and refreshing wakame, finished with a scattering of crunchy fried shallots.

For something with a little zest, Bobby’s Wine Bar's Fish Tacos are a must-try. Lightly battered, perfectly cooked fish is paired with a fresh slaw, creamy sauce, and a touch of spice, all tucked into soft tortillas. Served with a squeeze of lime, these tacos are full of flavour, crisp textures, and the kind of casual charm that makes them perfect for sharing (or enjoying all to yourself).

Coffee is taken seriously, with Bobby's serving expertly brewed espresso drinks made from quality beans. Whether you’re after a smooth flat white to kickstart your morning or a rich cappuccino to enjoy with a pastry, each cup is crafted with care. The baristas’ attention to detail ensures every coffee highlights the beans’ unique flavours, making it a standout part of the cafe experience.

The lunch menu is designed for both variety and enjoyment, with dishes that are perfect for sharing. From hearty mains to lighter bites, every option is crafted with fresh, seasonal ingredients and a focus on flavour. Gather a few plates, pair them with a glass of wine, and enjoy a relaxed meal that’s as social as it is satisfying.

As for the wine, Bobby’s boasts a carefully curated wine list that caters to every palate. From crisp, refreshing whites to bold, full-bodied reds, each bottle is chosen to complement the menu’s flavours. For cocktail lovers, there’s also a range of creative and expertly crafted cocktails, perfect for sipping alongside a meal or enjoying as the sun sets over New Farm Park.

Bobby’s Wine Bar offers a warm, inviting escape where thoughtfully crafted food, exceptional coffee, and a curated selection of wines and cocktails come together.
