The Barossa Restaurant
Rich in heritage with an abundance of culture and local produce, 1918 Bistro & Grill is a gathering place celebrating the Barossa Valley’s finest.
The heart of Barossa hospitality, 1918 Bistro & Grill occupies a 100 year old home boasting roaring open fires in the winter and a giant Norfolk pine and lush gardens for cool and relaxing outdoor dining. The charming ambience, hearty fare and friendly service has long been enjoyed by Barossans.
On frosty evenings red gum logs still splutter in the open fireplaces and in the summer, there’s the temptation to linger on the shady wisteria scented veranda.
Our iconic family owned Barossa restaurant is a must visit for anyone seeking an authentic experience.
Garden Bar open all summer Friday, Saturday, Sunday 3pm till late. Enjoy alfresco cocktails, games in the gardens and sharing platters.
We hope you enjoy being a part of the ongoing story of 1918.

Our roast potatoes aren’t just a side; they’re a reason to book a table. Cooked until perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, they’re seasoned with just the right amount of sea salt and paired beautifully with the Tomahawk steak… or honestly, anything else on the menu.![]()

They’ve become a favourite in their own right. Some say they steal the show and, we’re not arguing.![]()
