Restaurant 16

Best Known For

Spatchcock: deboned baby chicken, stuffed with mushroom risotto.

Creative Italian cuisine with a Japanese twist is on the menu at Restaurant 16 on Military Road at Neutral Bay. Fusing his heritage and cooking passion, Chef Toru Ryu presents fare with flair at this rustic restaurant, hiding behind an unobtrusive shopfront in the northern suburbs of Sydney. Chunky wooden furniture and polished floorboards welcome diners into a relaxed ambience, where large blackboards announce specials and moody lighting adds a soft glow to evening dining. Take flight on a culinary adventure with seared scallops, bacon and tomatoes with balsamic glaze and parsley oil, before savouring spaghetti scampi with white wine, tomato and garlic. Tip the senses into overload with a main such as succulent beef tenderloin, served with potato rosti, beetroot puree and Madeira sauce.
