Best Cozy Restaurants in Ryde

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!

Axel, Monique and Sudha were great, very helpful👍👌👏👏👏 Thanks

Amazing service! The service was great and the food was delicious and we spent the trip home talking about the meatballs. Will 100% be coming back!

A great venue for a snack, drinks and/or fabulous cocktail. The staff are friendly and service is professional and prompt. My new favourite place!

Nestled in the vibrant ambiance of Olympic Park, Oliver Brown offers a delightful culinary adventure, especially during Ramadan. I recently savored their iftar buffet dinner, a true celebration of Middle Eastern flavors. Stepping into the restaurant, I felt welcomed by its cozy atmosphere, perfectly complemented by the serene surroundings. What stood out was the heartwarming gesture of the host, who graciously offered to watch over my sleeping daughter while I explored the buffet—a thoughtful touch that set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. Let's talk about the food—it was simply amazing. Each dish, from the succulent kebabs to the fragrant rice, was a testament to the rich and vibrant flavors of the Middle East. The variety of mezze, including creamy hummus and tangy baba ganoush, left me craving more, highlighting the freshness and authenticity of the ingredients. Overall, my time at Oliver Brown Olympic Park was exceptional. The impeccable service and mouthwatering cuisine surpassed my expectations. Whether you're a fan of Middle Eastern fare or simply seeking a memorable dining experience, a visit to Oliver Brown Olympic Park is highly recommended. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
