About the restaurant

Occasionally, fine wine and exquisite food come together in just the right way. The mundane sensations of time seem to melt into the joys of the moment. You need only a good friend for sincere conversation and the delectable sweets and savories we bring to your table here at Bunbury. We started this restaurant with the foundational belief that hard work makes big dreams come to life. As it turns out, they bring affection to the neighborhood as well. Bold Malbecs and symphonic Merlots wash away a long day's stress, while our rich Duck Confit, Brie Crocante, and eight different kinds of empanadas warm your soul. And, however whimsical it may seem, it's no accident. It's the result of a big dream, hard work, and plenty of love.

Street parking available or third party valet services located at Square Station Apartments 1420 NE Miami Pl, at a rate of $10 for the entire stay upon validation stamp.
