Gisborne Bar & Bistro is approximately 28km from central Kyneton via the Calder Highway, about 12 minutes by car. It's a straightforward, scenic drive with no backtracking towards Melbourne.

Bookings are recommended, especially for weekends and larger groups. That said, we're far more walk-in friendly than many of the smaller, high-demand dining spots in Kyneton, so if you find yourself without a reservation, it's always worth giving us a call or stopping in.

We're a full bar and bistro with an in-house kitchen. The menu is seasonally driven, using quality local produce from across the Macedon Ranges region. Whether you're after a relaxed midweek lunch, a long weekend meal, or a proper dinner, the kitchen has you covered.

Absolutely. We handle private functions and group bookings alongside our regular dining service. If you're planning a celebration, a work event, or a gathering of any size, get in touch with our team to discuss options.

Start your morning in Kyneton, explore the café and bakery scene on Piper Street, pick up local produce, and soak up the town. Then head south along the Calder for lunch or an afternoon session at Gisborne Bar & Bistro. Add a cellar door stop or two along the way and you've got a pretty ideal Macedon Ranges day.

It's one of the best. Gisborne sits at the gateway to the Ranges, 45 minutes from Melbourne's CBD, with easy access to Woodend, Romsey, Lancefield, Riddells Creek, Mount Macedon, and Kyneton itself. Most of the region's key destinations are within 30 minutes in any direction.
