We found this hidden charm as we were staying in the Park Royal, Darling Harbour. Slightly off the beaten track bit definitely worth a visit. The food is absolutely fantastic, very flavoursome and filling. The staff are extremely tentative and price is reasonable given the location
Mains Steak Frite perfectly mid rare and melt in the mouth, followed by trio of sorbet which was a perfect way to end the meal. Attentive staff, courses came quickly, which was appreciated after a 4am start to catch a plane. Dined as a single female - very comfortable location. Well done!
This place is a little gem hidden in the in skirts of Darling Harbour. The food was divine and divinely plated. Never seen a restaurant put attention to the very detail of the food. Hats off to the whole crew. The service was fantastic! Our server was the most enthusiastic server we’ve ever had. Thanks Klein for making our night! I strongly recommend this place.
Visited this bistro bar at lunch time and was taken away by the beautiful interior. In terms of the menu, it is simple and not super expansive.
The entrees we ordered were tasty without doubt, but extremely small portion sizes for the price.
The mains were fairly tasty too, and the steak was tender, flavourful and had a good char. Unfortunately, the confit duck was a let down. The chicken was average.
A good place to visit if you want some decent food and a nice environment to sit in.
Came here with a few girlfriends for the Chocolate High Tea and loved the tea and scones but the chocolate was just a little much even though it was a chocolate high tea. The interior is gorgeous and would definitely come here again anyways! 👍🏻

From outside abode doesn't look all that great, but once you step inside you see how beautiful this place is. I absolutely love the white and lace motifs throughout the restaurant paired with huge cream comfortable chairs. We had come in for a big team lunch, and it was lovely to see such a nice set up. The lunch special was $19.50 which included a house wine, beer or a soft drink which was great. I ordered the day special - ocean trout. Now it was delicious, and well seasoned, though it didnt come with much pasta. For a meal more worth the money grab the fish and chips or the burger, because not only do both come with chips... they both look so substantial! Service was average. I thought the waitress spoke way too fast and was very unclear also. We had to ask her to repeat herself. Also the waiters tended to talk toward their notepad or the plate they held rather than look up and smile. It bugged me a lot. The menu has a lot of salads, some gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian options which is fantastic. I would recommend Abode for lunch, surely for the food, but I don't think it's ideal when the experience with the people working there was so negative.
The chicken liver pate was really impressive. They do a great steak here as well. However the service really lets it down, it was not poor but just very amateurish. Being a hotel bar/restaurant you really expect more.
Great spot for after work drinks and they have $10 cocktails during happy hour! I did wait quite a while for my cocktail to be made, but it was worth it.
I was invited to the try the tasting menu of Abode Bistro and Bar at the Park Royal Darling Harbour which I was only too happy to go as I’m always on a look out for a list of venues I can roll off my tongue to recommend to my colleagues for business dining during the work week. The criteria is that it needs to be in the Sydney CBD, elegant, refined but not too refined, not too noisy so you can hear the other person speak with ease, a good menu, good wines, great coffee, exceptional service and consistency because you really only have that small lunch slot during your work day so efficiency is important.
We ordered six course degustation menu and we love every single dish. Their service is also great, Hailey the waiter look after us. Tonight their service was a bit slow so they gave us complimentary drink. We started with soup, scallop, salad, duck breast, beef tenderloin and dessert. We will definitely will come back again.
Being in Sydney I wanted to venture out to a nice restaurant. However being there for work took a toll on my energy levels and I wanted something closer to my hotel but still good in quality. Abode Bistro was next to ParkRoyal where I was staying. I decided to gamble and went in. Right from the start I was impressed. The service was excellent and the ambience was not too bright which was soothing to the senses.
The chicken liver was exquisite as you can see in the photo. The duck main course couldn't have been cooked more perfectly! The portion sizes were reasonable although the cost could be slightly more affordable.
Overall a great culinary experience and one I would highly recommend for anyone visiting or living in Sydney.

I love a good fine-dining brunch with an affordable cafe price tag, so I am always on the lookout for Sydney´s best-value gourmet brunch spots, and after many trials and errors, I think this is a pretty special place to visit.
Abode is an upscale elegant dining sanctuary with welcoming designer light-filled interiors. It offers a distinctive gourmet menu with an innovative twist.
As the menu consisted of superb quality with very distinctive descriptions, we were spoiled with choices. I noticed there was an extensive gluten-free, as well as many vegetarian options. Our initial intention was to have a 'light lunch', but we ended up ordering 5 exceptionally delicious entrees to share.
All dishes we ordered were flavour-driven and the plating presentations were artistic, modern and interesting. We were visually enticed with all dishes.
The restaurant is beautifully set-up, and it does not feel crowded or too noisy. This is a perfect catch up venue with your girlfriends and have artful light meals or decant high tea at the same time.
Abode Bistro & Bar also offers a Six Course Tasting Menu for only $65. That has got to be the most economical tasting menu in Sydney!
If you're looking for a casual yet elegant dining experience, this place is for you. The moment you step in, you'll be captivated by the white accent theme and subtle lighting that creates a stylish ambiance. Nicely laid out tables and chairs along with some intimate lounge areas and an open bar. It's a warm and welcoming space to relax and spend the evening in.
Awarded an AGFG Chef Hat for 2022, it offers fresh, seasonal and inventive dishes. I highly recommend their 5 course Tasting Menu. Every dish that we had was spot on - clean plates all round. Service is impeccable.
Awesome experience. We were downtown due to a conference and I had a 3 course menu by myself. There are many selections for each course and also sides. The bread and butter as complemantary appetizer was so warm and tasty. I loved the chocolate souffle and would prefer it with a bit more ice cream. The room and the decorations were very modern and tasty also.
The service was exeptional. I strongly recommend ABODE and will certainly visit again.
Came here for a complimentary dinner after a booking incident. We were very well looked after and thankful for the customer service experience we received. Staff were friendly and accommodating and the food was really quite good!
We recommend diners come here and give it a shot.
My husband and I came here by chance two months ago and had a fantastic time. We decided to come back for a dinner during the Vivid festival.
I am really glad we did, they have changed the tasting menu, had the same excellent service and the atmosphere in the place is perfect for a romantic dinner.
There will be a change in menu again shortly to a winter tasting menu and we will be back again.
Whilst searching for a fine dining experience near me. I found Abode bistro. I was pleased to see they had a five course dining experience with matching wines.
My wife and I went before a show at the state theatre, we were treated to an amazing meal, matched perfectly with the wine. The waitresses knew the food and the wine, were attentive and asked for feedback.
I will be going back and can recommend to anyone for a great dining experience.
Absolutely delicious, 10/10 for sure. The food was cooked perfectly and came out well presented and in a timely matter. Staff were amazing, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Would highly recommend.
Oh my goodness. Absolutely loved this place. We chose to do the chef's degustation for $95pp and it's so worth it. Each dish is made to perfection and the flavours blend together so perfectly. The staff are warm and welcoming and service is absolutely lovely. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat to anyone who doesn't want to wait long for delicious servings of food that leave you utterly satisfied. Such a warm ambience as well! Food attached in photos along with their new menu.
We celebrated our Anniversary at this beautiful restaurant with the tasting menu and was really impressed. Every dish was fantastic. The staff were really nice and service was on point. We truly recommend dining here it won’t disappoint. Looking forward to returning.
