About Lemaire's Bistro

Lemaire's Bistro appears to be a small, independently run bistro-style restaurant in the Brisbane area, associated with the Toombul Shopping Centre precinct near Nundah, Queensland, Australia. It is listed as a commercial hospitality fit‑out project (alongside other restaurants and retail venues), which suggests a casual sit‑down venue serving prepared meals and drinks rather than a chain or franchise.([msrair.com.au](https://www.msrair.com.au/commercial-air-conditioning?utm_source=openai)) As a neighbourhood bistro, charges typically relate to dine‑in food, alcoholic and non‑alcoholic beverages, and possibly takeaway or small group functions.

A Lemaire's Bistro charge on your bank or card statement most likely comes from a recent in‑person meal, bar tab, or takeaway order you placed at the venue. Restaurants often run your card once at the end of the visit, but you might see separate line items if you added a tip after the initial payment, kept an open tab, or split the bill among multiple cards. In some cases, you may briefly see a pending “pre‑authorisation” amount (for example, when starting a bar tab) that later drops off and is replaced by the final total. If your bank groups transactions by posting date, a charge may post a day or two after you actually visited, which can make it seem unfamiliar.

To verify this charge, first compare the transaction date and amount with any receipts, text/email confirmations, or calendar entries around the time you may have visited Nundah or the Toombul area. Check the exact statement descriptor (for example, it may show a shortened name like “LEMAIRES BISTRO NUNDAH” plus a city) and search that text online or in your email to jog your memory. If you still do not recognise the purchase, use the phone number that appears on your bank statement (if available) or search for the restaurant’s current listing on a maps/service directory to call and ask them to look up the payment by date and amount. If the venue confirms the charge is incorrect—or you cannot reach them—contact your card issuer to dispute the transaction or request a chargeback, following your bank’s fraud and billing‑error procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why am I seeing a Lemaire's Bistro charge if I only remember visiting a different restaurant in Nundah or Toombul?

Many small, independent venues are part of shared hospitality groups, or they may trade under one registered business name while using a different public‑facing name on signage. Your receipt or booking might show a brand name (for example, a bar or café concept inside the centre), but the card descriptor can show the underlying business name, such as Lemaire's Bistro. Compare your receipt’s ABN or business name (if you still have it) to the descriptor on your bank statement—if they match, the charge is almost certainly from that visit.

What amounts are typical for a Lemaire's Bistro transaction?

As a small bistro‑style restaurant in Brisbane, a single‑person meal with a drink commonly falls in the range of about AUD $20–$60, while a couple or group bill can easily run to AUD $80–$200 or more, depending on food, drinks, and any shared plates or desserts. If you opened a bar tab, the final amount may be higher than the initial pre‑authorisation and may include gratuities added at the terminal. Exact prices will depend on the current menu and any specials on the day you visited.

Why do I see two Lemaire's Bistro charges on the same day?

This often happens when the restaurant places an initial pre‑authorisation (for example, to open a bar tab or verify your card) and then processes the final bill later. In most cases, the first amount will remain as ‘pending’ and then disappear once the completed transaction posts, leaving just the final charge. You might also see multiple posted charges if you split the bill across cards or paid separately for drinks and food, so compare the exact amounts with your receipt and who in your party paid what.

Does Lemaire's Bistro run subscriptions or recurring monthly charges?

No—restaurants like Lemaire's Bistro typically operate on a per‑visit basis and do not offer ongoing subscription plans that bill monthly or annually. If you see a repeating charge for the same amount at regular intervals (for example, every month), it is more likely from a different service, even if the descriptor text looks similar. In that case, review other apps or services you’ve signed up for and contact your bank to clarify which merchant is behind the recurring billing.

How can I contact Lemaire's Bistro about a billing issue or refund?

Start by checking your bank statement for a phone number next to the Lemaire's Bistro line item, as many banks display the merchant’s registered contact number. If none is shown, search for “Lemaire's Bistro Nundah” or “Lemaire's Bistro Toombul Brisbane” in a maps or business‑directory app to find the latest phone listing and business hours. When you call, have the transaction date, exact amount, and last four digits of your card ready so staff can look up the payment and, if appropriate, reverse or adjust it.

How do I resolve a wrong amount or duplicate charge from Lemaire's Bistro?

First, confirm that the total on your receipt matches the posted bank amount and that what looks like a duplicate isn’t just a pending pre‑authorisation that is still visible. If you believe you were overcharged—such as being billed twice for the same meal or seeing a total that doesn’t match the signed receipt—contact the restaurant directly and ask them to review the transaction in their point‑of‑sale system. If they cannot or will not correct the issue promptly, gather your documentation (receipts, screenshots of the statement, and any messages) and file a dispute with your card issuer, explaining that it is a billing error.

Can I cancel or change a booking at Lemaire's Bistro to avoid a no‑show fee?

Some Brisbane restaurants use third‑party booking platforms that allow them to charge a no‑show or late‑cancellation fee to the card you used to reserve, while others manage reservations directly and do not charge unless you dine. If you suspect a Lemaire's Bistro charge is a no‑show fee, search your email or SMS for a prior booking confirmation and review its cancellation terms. To avoid or reverse such a fee, contact the restaurant (or the booking platform listed in your confirmation) as soon as possible to explain the situation and request a waiver or partial refund.

What should I do if I don’t recognise any visit to Nundah or Brisbane around the date of the Lemaire's Bistro charge?

If you were not in Queensland and do not recall authorising a remote order (such as providing your card over the phone), treat the charge as potentially unauthorised. Immediately lock your card in your banking app if possible and call your card issuer’s fraud department to report the transaction; they can investigate and issue a replacement card if needed. You can also ask whether they can provide additional merchant information (such as terminal location or contact details) to confirm whether it truly originated from Lemaire's Bistro or another business using a similar descriptor.
