Tru Blu Mediterranean

Fantastic food and service. Hidden gem in the suburbs.

Fabulous food !! A real hidden gem

Lovely little restaurant with a great ambiance. Food was delicious and prompt service. Highly recommend.

Love love love this place. The spanner crab entree and beef skirt main, absolutely Devine. This restaurant is a new favourite!

Great food, service and wine! It was nice being there before the other customers as we got to share good conversation with the owners. It is clear they have passion for good food and hospitality.

Wonderful food and service. A lovely local restaurant. We arrived late so didn't use the 50% off, however still had a great evening

Excellent service the moment we walked through the door. On our previous visit your food was ordered by ticking various boxes and sharing the plates as they arrived to your table. It was more pleasant to order with the waitress’s assistance with required explanations. My fish was a special and amazing. My husband found his sticky lamb sauce to be a bit “intense” in flavour. We will definitely return to try other dishes as the sides of polenta chips,charred pumpkin and brocolini were mouth-wateringly good!

Great service and food

Had a great experience at Tru Blu Restaurant. Would definitely go back there! Great food and great service

The food was fabulous and the service was great. Will definitely go back again

Service and food were impeccable

We really enjoyed True Blu, the food, the service was amazing. Try Blu restaurant is by far the best experience we have had using first table.

What a great local find - super friendly service from the moment we walked in - excellent food with great menu choices - carpaccio and eggplant crisps were divine . This will definitely be our place to go - highly recommend a visit there . It won’t be your last ! Thank you for a wonderful evening Tru Blu team

Food and service are very good. We enjoyed so much.

Food was excellent and service was attentive. Everything was done properly as if you were a full paid customer. Definitely go back again.

Food was delicious & the service was lovely & friendly! Will defo dine again.

So good we will all be going back without the 50% off!!

We loved it and judging by the crowds arriving as we left, others feel the same. Great menu, zippy flavors, good portions, relaxed atmosphere. Family friendly - ask for colouring in. Choice of indoor/outdoor dining. Thumbs up. Best first table experience to date.

Fabulous food and excellent service.

Very friendly and efficient service. Delicious food (sticky fig pudding was excellent). Diverse menu and relaxed atmosphere. We found ourselves a new local venue.

What a lovely night. The restaurant is well decorated and the staff were very attentive. There was a large choice of entrees, mains and desserts. Serving sizes of entree and dessert were big enough to share. The pumpkin pasta and pine nuts was very tasty and the lamb and pita bread was flavoursome.
We will definitely return with our friends.
Thank you.

Beautiful food and excellent service. Would highly recommend this great restaurant.

A favourite.

Excellent food and such a great service! Highly recommended and nice atmosphere as well! Will definitely come again

This is by far the best restaurant on the Northern Beaches. Food was beyond compare.

Delicious!

Great gem in Balgowlah!
The food was delicious,the meatballs are a must!
There was minimal waiting for the food which was a bonus as we were dining with kids.
Will definitely be back!

The absolute gem of the northern beaches. Every time we go, we're so impressed by the flavours, freshness and overall quality of the food. Consistently great service as well.

Great experience. The food was delicious .Service was friendly and efficient.
Would definitely recommend

Excellent food and service

Great local in Balgowlah.
We will be back for the fresh Mediterranean.

All four of us had a great meal. The service was excellent - it really was 'service with a smile'

Beautiful tasty and wonderfully presented food. All wait staff were charming and attentive. So good to be able to recommend some genuinely good food in our local area! Definitely worthy of repeat visits. Thank you!

Four of us went to lunch at Tru Blu Mediterranean yesterday. Starfish at Avalon was our absolutely favourite restaurant so we were devastated when they left. Yesterday confirmed the old Starfish is back in business with a new name, new location but the same fantastic food and brilliant staff. We will return to try their dinner menu with some of our old favourites. It is well worth the extra travel!

Such a little gem! We would often drive past this place and say that we should eat there sometime and I’m so glad we finally did! The food was amazing, as was the service. We will definitely be back!

Hard-working and conscientious small business that go the extra mile to create a good experience. Assuming aircon malfunctioning that day

Refined but simple mediterranean food. Something different. Very much so enjoyed the grilled octopus salad and falafel. Decor is not as nice as food, but that's ok.

Excellent food and service .

First time we have visited this restaurant after hearing great reviews from friends. Excellent service, food was great ! Will defiantly go
Back

We went with two friends and couldn't fault the restaurant, at all. Service was always fast and efficient even as the restaurant got busier. The beers icy cold and the girls loved there champagne. The food from entre to main through to the dessert was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this hidden gem!

The food was absolutely divine and the service was wonderful. We highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.

Wow. This must be one of the restaurants in the northern beaches. It’s as well planned and at the level of Pilu without the high price or view. I’m so happy we discovered this gem.

To start we had the Fraser Island spanner crab, taramasada, tabouli with freeze squeezed lemon juice. It’s was robust in flavor and perfect on a sunny evening. It was light and healthy. We wanted to order another but decided to wait for our next dish. I’m still thinking about it this perfectly created small plate.

We then had the slow cooked braised short beef with a delicious carrot purée, harissa, and salsa verde. It was accompanied with all kinds of delightful pieces that created a bomb of flavors in my mounth.

The ocean trout was the special and was also a Amal’s hit. It had a crispy cooked skin on top of it. The fish was cooked to perfection where the middle was still moist and flaky.

We also had the beetroot salad which my partner happily ate when he normally doesn’t even like beet root. The beetroot had feta and was accompanied with some greens and walnuts.

We ended with the flourless chocolate cake which did not disappoint.

I seriously thought our Manly area was doomed with tourist food traps. Thank you Tru Blue for brings some true delicious cusine to the neighborhoo. Also, your staff from Brazil was lovely. I don’t remember his name but he was fabulous.

This is exactly what First Table is good at.
We would never have found this restaurant any other way.
Really great experience.

We all four absolutely loved our dining experience at Tru Blu. Can’t speak highly enough of the food and the service and would highly recommend making a booking and enjoying the restaurant for yourself. We are spreading the word and will most definitely return before long. Thank you Tru Blu, a great evening!

Food was amazing! We left after our meal feeling satisfied and full. Food was cooked to perfection and with the freshest ingredients. We looooved the octopus and the crab! Would 100% return again to taste the other things on the menu. Perfect place to share plates, enjoy a drink and go for a date night! 10/10

Very good food and pleasant and attentive service. A great airy bright space with easy access to parking. Hoping it is very successful in the future. We'll definitely be back!

Nice atmosphere. Seems to be quite popular and parking is great in the evening.

Food was absolutely delicious! Combined with byo option and super friendly staff, this place is great and we will be back!

Relaxed atmosphere, friendly efficient service and delicious food.

always good food...changes up a few item on the food and was great.
