Bistro by Courtyard

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 greets you. Fragrant smells 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 signature specialities 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 crispy pork belly, followed up with mains that range from roasted salmon to braised eggplant and slow roast lamb shoulder. Be sure to leave room for dessert, the warm chocolate fondant, coconut and passionfruit pannacotta and the sticky date pudding are difficult to pass up.

The meals are straight-up tasty and will satisfy a range of palates, which makes Bistro by Courtyard a great place to bring friends, family or colleagues after a long day in the office.
