this is an upmarket restaurant, which has helpful and friendly staff, a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere- and the food we had was excellent. For sydney (which is expensive!) this was good value for its type. Would definitely recommend! More

As we were staying in the hote we noticed that they had a two courses and a glass of wine for $35 offer. Very often hotel food and offers especially can be disappointing, this was certainly not the case at Bistro Fax. The menu offered the choice of two starters, two mains and two deserts.

Decided to try the Bistro for a late night dinner. We were happy with the two course meal and glass of wine for $35.00, could not fault the two courses. Would recommend this for an evening meal. More

Breakfast at Bistro Fax is a real treat with real coffee any way you want it, freshly cooked omelet or all the regular fare. During the day the bar is quiet and restful despite business meetings taking place there. The food is good, a little expensive but its a place to really relax. The chairs and tables are set up...
