Best Authentic Restaurants in North Ryde

The food lived up to the name, which is no mean feat, especially in this part of Sydney. I had the gnocchi Sorrentina, which is quite good (with a balanced red sauce with delicious mozzarella); the freshly stone baked garlic bread (which was firm and made of good quality dough), and the panna cotta (which had a real cooked cream texture and taste). Very yum. I’ll be back!

Having visited Spain on 3 occasions in the past 10 years qualifies me to express the opinion that Encasa Spanish Restaurant at Lane Cove provides high quality authentic Spanish cuisine at what I consider reasonable prices given that quality. Plus the staff are professional and friendly and I intend to add to the seven occasions that I have already dined at Encasa (Lane Cove) in the past few years.

Great food in a relaxed setting, thoroughly recommend.

The experience which allows only 60 min sitting felt a bit rushed. We were asked to place our final order at 30 min as it is the restaurant’s policy to ask for final order 30 min before the end of the sitting. The charcoal flavour was strong - which the kids didn’t enjoy. But overall an authentic yakitori drinking spot.

Great value for the bbq buffet, and the meat and sashimi quality is great, with lots of variety. The VIP room is nice for a birthday and the staff are very thoughful to leave a small gift and candle. Its our second time dining here and we will be back.
