Bacar Restaurant & Bar

The food was amazing, and the service was just as good. The only complain I had was the price, it was very expensive, but the experience was nice. Will probably go again!

We were visting the sophisticated dining room of Bacar Restaurant to sample the new spring menu by award winning executive chef, Ben Nicholls. Bacar is situated on the ground floor of the luxury 5 star Pullman hotel at Sydney Olympic park and what a great restaurant to visit if in the area, going to a key sporting match but still wanting a contemporary dining experience. It is great to see Hotel restaurants are picking up their game producing exciting tasty food. The service was top notch with each meal promply delivered and explained in detail. The sommelier was very personable and was great at conveying the details of each wine.

We started with a lovely champagne and a little creatures pale ale before being taken on a wine journey. The wine journey begun with a flight of Australian Rosè by De Bortoli including a Grenache from Heathcote, a Sangiovese from the King Valley, a Vonoque Nebbiolo from the Yarra Valley and a Pinot Noir. This was paired with grilled halved deep sea prawns, with sobressada a house cured meat which had been cured for 6 days. This is a perfect combination for a nice spring afternoon catch up with friends, pre event drinks or for unwinding after seeing the sights of Sydney.

The meal service began with brasserie breads, single origin sourdough with pepe saya butter. I enjoy bread at 5 star restaurants and am a fan of pepe saya butter. Knowing a 3 course meal was ahead of me, I took it easy on this occasion.

We started with a small amuse bouche with great texture and flavour. Grilled Fremantle octopus poke and crisp salmon skin.

The entrée was a beautiful arrangement of sweetness from the seared scallops, savoury saltiness from guanciale(a house cured Italian meat, aged and hung for 3 months) red cabbage and endive brioche crumb. The somellier nicely paired this with a Chardonnay from Margaret River. Not your traditional oak filled chardonnay, but a Chardonnay that allowed the fruit to do the talking. Perfect for this spring inspired entree.

The main was a wonderful arrangement of seared sousvide Junee lamb saddle, and for added texture and flavour this was combined with a pea puree, a pea crisp and bourguignon sauce(red wine sauce). The main was paired with a Geoff Merrill Caberenet Sauvignon from Mclarenvale.

We then cleansed the palate with a goats cheese and lime granita to prepare us for the dessert course.

The sweet dish was incredible like a party in your mouth. A glass filled with lemon curd, lightened marscapone, wild berries, violet flowers, and meringue in a deconstructed, yet beautiful arrangement. I hope this one remains on the menu for a long time as I am keen to have it many more times.

The meal was topped off with a divine cheese selection of blue cheese, triple cream bree and snow white chaddar accompanied by lavosh, guava, truffle honey which combined amazingly with the cheese in particular the blue cheese. This was paired nicely with an icewine from Canada.

We also had a whiskey sampler of Chivas 12, 18 and the new Chivas Extra. A perfect way to cap a wonderful night. We really enjoyed the new seasonal spring menu at Bacar which celebrates Australian Producers, using consciously sourced ingredients, regionally grown.

The food here was decent, especially the kids fish and chips with salad for $14. The service was a little lacklustre although friendly, just slow. I got the half shelled prawns which were tasty, in a lovely butter sauce. The calamari nice and tender.

Bacar is perfectly positioned inside the lobby of The Pullman Sydney Olympic Park, gazing out to the life outside this sophisticated place. This restaurant is stylish, modern, comfortable and airy and also has the quality of food you would hope for in a place this nice. We started with pacific oysters with crème fresh and finger lime that were elegantly presented on a bed of rock salt. Both Sir & Mlady love oysters and we both enjoyed these immensely. They were a refreshing start to our meal.

Spent 3 nights at the Pullman for a work event. Every morning was greeted with a smile and a "how are you today sir". My coffee order was remembered, made and delivered to my table with a genuine conversation regarding my days plans. Great service and delicious food.

Bacar is the sophisticated and stylish restaurant in the equally elegant Pullman at Sydney Olympic Park. This 5 star hotel is located in the heart of the Sydney Olympic precinct and therefore so close to so many venues - there's so much to do around here!

Good food and service. Stay at the hotel for business a couple of times now and the food has always been quality!

Came to Bacar for our anniversary. The brilliant food concealed in a hotel really deserves its own space. Beautifully furnished with well chosen wine list to match the food. Come at dinner to experience the Gnocchi which was to die for! Shout out to Alex and Jack for their services.

The strip loin is delicious! The flavors are so well-balanced, the chargrilled taste is prominent. The customer service is excellent too! Stephanie went extra miles to check with the chef if they can accommodate some of my request. A pleasant experience.

We had our anniversary there, the manager was so nice to come and congrats us, then he ordered special desert from the chef for us with the words "happy anniversary" on it. The food was great, delicious and talented in the way the combine the ingredients together. I strongly recommend this restaurant for you, price is acceptable and the food is worth the money

Honestly could not fault! The food was AMAZING! And made in a timely manner while still presented well. Staff were kind and made sure we were taken care of. They didn’t hover or ask us half way through ‘is everything going well’. They waited until we were finished and the plates were collected (I really like this). Cocktails were delish! Toilets and other facilities were clean. The vibe was relaxing, fancy and comfortable. Good for a date night, family night out or even work conference. We will be back!
