A casual eating experience awaits you at Bistro by Courtyard, a hidden gem on Sydney’s lower North Shore. This dining delight is located within the Courtyard by Marriott Sydney-North Ryde. As you walk down the stairs toward the restaurant, the buzz of other diners will greet you. Fragrant smells will waft out from the kitchen, and when you set foot inside the venue you’ll be impressed by the simple yet clean lines of the contemporary décor.

The golden glow of the lights complements the warmth of the wooden tables you’ll sit around as you enjoy a drink before your meal. Craft beers are always a treat, and the cocktail menu has a few cheeky house specials alongside trusted traditional favourites.

The food is just as unpretentious as the décor, and every bit as effective. Think delicious bite-sized appetisers, like calamari and stuffed zucchini, and follow it up with mains that range from vegetarian to seafood to chicken to beef. The meals are straight-up tasty and will satisfy a range of palettes, making this a great place to bring friends, family or colleagues after a long day in the office. An enticing dessert menu is also available.
