Respite Bar is a bar in Lugarno. We don't yet have enough signals to confirm whether dogs are allowed. It's best to check with the venue before visiting with your dog. Just 450m away, Gannons Park is a great nearby park for a walk with your dog.

We recently held a work function at Respite Bar and honestly can’t thank the team enough. The staff, the food, the atmosphere — everything was incredible. If you haven’t checked it out yet, I highly recommend it!

My local bar operated by a fantastic young team. The servers are always friendly. Great selection of snacks and nibbles plus a cracking cocktail menu.

Good food but a small venue. We got Olives, focaccia, burrata and the salumi plate to start. We also had the bao bun platter which was very nice. The truffle parmesan fries didn't have a strong truffle taste. It wasn't bad. The apple surprise was quite good. The flavour combination was good and wasn't too sweet. The serving size was good. We appreciated the non alcoholic decaf affogatto being catered too. The Angus sirloin steak was cooked well. The XO Ravioli was great too!

What a hidden gem in Lugarno. Love the decor here and the food and drinks are delicious and well presented. A great place to grab drinks with friends or could make a great date spot. The sliders were tasty, the truffle fries are great too!
