The Arcade Bistro
A playful yet comfortable dining experience with a retro arcade twist. Located inside Novarest Hotel, The Arcade Bistro is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and is family-friendly and welcoming for every guest.
A few favorites from the kitchen, designed to be as fun to look at as they are to eat.
Fluffy pancakes stacked high, topped with maple syrup and fresh berries. Made with buttermilk and served with whipped cream, this dish is a playful nod to pixel art and a comforting way to begin the day.
A juicy Angus beef burger with cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and secret sauce. Served on a brioche bun with crispy fries, and available with optional bacon and egg for those who want to level up.
Creamy fettuccine with grilled chicken, mushrooms, and parmesan. The rich garlic cream sauce is topped with fresh herbs, making this comfort food favorite a satisfying choice after a day of exploring Sydney.
Dine surrounded by subtle arcade-inspired decor that adds a playful touch without overwhelming comfort. Pixel art accents and neon signs sit alongside comfortable seating and warm lighting, while background music with retro vibes keeps the atmosphere lively but relaxed.
