Restaurants near Bridgeview Hotel Willoughby

We thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant from the speakeasy type entrance to the superb cocktails, excellent food and friendly service. The atmosphere is warm and mysterious. We enjoyed sharing the calamari as an appetizer followed by the pasta with pork/veal ragu sauce that is beyond description. As a main course we thankfully shared a delicious veal Milanese in bolognese which could have fed three. Best restaurant in Sydney by far.

Bistro Kai is probably the closest you will come to fine dining in Chatswood without any of the pretentiousness. The decor is comfortable and quite spacious and the service is not intrusive but friendly and helpful. The food is exceptionally good - we tried the octopus which was so very tender and well seasoned, the softest and tastiest sourdough from Cherrymoon Bakery that was toasted and served with a whipped Japanese style butter, the roasted brussel sprouts, the most tender wagyu beef short rib, a delicious chicken maryland with crisp skin and tender meat resting on mashed potato and an amazing abalone gravy (an amazing combo you should try) and their famous cheeseburger which was wonderful as usual. Paired with perfectly balanced creative cocktails, with the Pandan and Ube Irish Coffee and the Chonky Charlie Chaplin a particular standout. Very sad that their iconic tiramisu is not on the menu at the moment but hopefully will see a revival sometime soon! It is not cheap but not the most expensive either - our lunch came to $110pp including 2 alcoholic drinks each and 2 courses. But the food was exceptional and well worth the price. Definitely would recommend!

After moving overseas I haven’t been to Garfish for some years. It was great to go back and find it was as fantastic as I remembered. They always deliver - delicious food, excellent service and a buzzy atmosphere. One of my favourite places.

Love this place, the food, ambience and service are fantastic

Review: Braci Osteria + Pizzeria – A Slice of Italy in Sydney I think I found the best pizza in Sydney, and I’m both thrilled and slightly heartbroken about it. Thrilled because, well, I had the most perfect Margherita and a spicy hot salami pizza that made my taste buds sing O Sole Mio. Heartbroken because I live too far away to make this my weekly (okay, daily) spot. Life is cruel like that. Braci is a small, cozy Italian haven where the smell of woodfire pizza instantly hugs you as you walk in. The open kitchen is like a live cooking show, minus the stress and dramatic background music. Watching the pizzaiolo work their magic with the dough is hypnotic—like ballet, but with more flour and fire. The wine? Bellissimo. The tiramisu? A fluffy, coffee-infused cloud of happiness. The only disappointment? Not being able to eat the entire menu in one sitting. But I suppose moderation is key… or at least that’s what I’m telling myself to feel better. If you love pizza, go. If you don’t love pizza, re-evaluate your life choices and then go. Just beware—you might leave with a full stomach and an existential crisis about why you don’t live closer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Would teleport there if I could.
