Welcome to your new favourite waterfront bistro
Enjoy an idyllic waterfront dining location
to eat breakfast or lunch by the water.
We have an all weather undercover area right on the marina which is rainproof but also has a misting system and fans to keep you cooler in summer.
You can also pick up a take away for a picnic or during your walk in Ku-ring-gai Chase National park near Turramurra, or pull in on your boat.
We have weatherproof and open shaded waterfront tables and tables inside too, so you can sit by the water in Sydney’s North Shore at Waterside Bistro whatever the weather.
Our outside tables are not available for booking which means you can usually walk in and get a table if you haven't booked but we always recommend doing so.
Located within the impressive yet welcoming Empire Marina Bobbin Head in the pristine
Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, our location is second to none.
Our location allows you to grab a takeaway on your walk/cycle/kayak or for your picnic in the park, on your way to your boat, when out on your boat,
or enjoy breakfast or lunch with us overlooking the water.
Our menu is tasty and generous in portions, and our coffee is created with love
by trained baristas.
We are open 7 days

in Sydney. These tables are not booked so may be
available if our bookings are full.
​
We also take bookings for tables,
simply call us on 02 9457 9011 or

Please note larger table bookings will require a deposit to be paid.

​
Casual berths are limited but sometimes available to stay for breakfast or lunch and you can even pay a fee and stay overnight in your boat to attend one of our special evening events if we have availability.
​
As the marina is so popular though, we recommend arranging well ahead, not on the day of your visit.
We recommend you book these well ahead by calling the marina on 02 9457 9011.
