Set above street level with views of the city, Livingstone’s Restaurant is one of Mount Isa’s premier bistros. It’s an ideal venue for a relaxed meal, whether it be for two or a big group, and hosts cocktail and canapé parties for all occasions. Hailing from Sydney, award-winning chef Mark Livingstone heads the kitchen, skilfully creating a unique spin on modern Australian/European cuisine that’s sophisticated, yet honest and unpretentious. To start, you might have double cooked blue cheese soufflé or fresh oysters, shipped in twice a week, shucked to order and served fresh, Kilpatrick and Asian style. To follow, you could try seared scotch fillet with tiger prawns, roast potatoes and a coconut cream deglace.
