Bistro Remy - Sydney

What an amazing improvement since our last visit!! The menu is made up of the extraordinary dishes that arrived on our plates. Each dish was a masterpiece of an inventive well-trained cook. Matt, our sommelier, was wonderfully attentive and helpful for every course. Excellent food, attentive, friendly well informed staff.

Delicious food beautifully presented. A wonderful culinary experience. Definitely recommend!

The service was excellent by the waiters. The food was very delicious. It was better than expected.

Bistro Remy is the new signature restaurant in the Langham Hotel. The hotel had been known as The Observatory and was part of the Orient Express group. Galileo was its restaurant. Galileo was designed with an old world theme and featured quite an exotic menu. The new Bistro Remy is light and airy. It is also quite a bit larger as the new owner has opened up what had been three distinct rooms into one open plan area. I felt it was much more comfortable. One of the staff put it quite well when he said the aim was to make both the restaurant and the menu “accessible.” Where Galileo had a menu with dishes that were obscure to most, Bistro Remy offers very high quality but mostly familiar choices.

Overall Bistro Remy was disappointing as the food was only a step above pub food. The restaurant had about six tables of guests and the wait staff were running around unorganised. Being a past regular of the restaurant, the redesign of the room has affected all elements of the restaurant. There is no swish service, beautiful meals or pleasant ambience at this five star hotel. This is a restaurant for the tourists who want a basic meal.
