New menu gets the green light

The Links Bistro at the Lonsdale Golf Club has just released a new menu under the direction of new head chef Amanda Morrish.

Amanda has 19 years of experience within the hospitality industry, working in a wide range of venues across Australia.

“I’ve worked in small country hotels in New South Wales, large coastal pubs in Western Australia, to cafes and Italian restaurants in Victoria,” she said.

“I’ve had several award nominations for the AHA for Excellence Awards, including Best Casual Dining, Contemporary Dining and Steak Restaurant to name a few.”

The new Links Bistro menu is inspired by local produce, incorporating a wide range of options to allow for dietary requirements.

“The new menu will use local produce, fresh seafood and include gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options,” Amanda said.

“There will also be an expansion on the kids’ menu due to our playground, which makes Links Bistro a popular venue for families.”

Amanda loves being a chef and is passionate about ensuring her diners leave feeling happy with their experience.

“Being a chef is an art and a science and I love experimenting with different food cultures in my cooking,” she said.

“Some of my favourite dishes on the menu include the Moroccan chicken and the lightly dusted salt-and-pepper squid. Both of these are available on our lunch and dinner menus.

“Specials including slow roasted pork belly or butter chicken curry are among my favourite meals, too.”

In creating the menu, Amanda has attempted to keep costs as low as possible for diners, encouraging more family nights out together at an affordable price.

“I began the menu process by sourcing quality products from suppliers.

“I incorporated my experience to cater for a broader demographic and include dishes that cater for dietary requirements, while keeping costs low for our guests.”

The Links Bistro is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week in January.
