Delicious buffet breakfast at Bistro Fax Restaurant and Bar, Radisson Blu Hotel Sydney
Bistro Fax Restaurant & Bar is part of the
Radisson Blu Hotel Sydney on O'Connell Street in the city. I was fortunate to have enjoyed dinner (through room service) as a guest staying at the hotel, as well as actually dining in the restaurant for a quality buffet breakfast experience here recently. A visit to the bar also made way for a refreshing cocktail and hot chocolate experience. Opulence surrounds you, and you just want to feel cosy and at home. Your wish for style and comfort has been granted, and you just need to enjoy it.
The smoked salmon was also divine
The buffet breakfast ($35) provides a pleasant array of choices, although the host was (initially) a little picky on the table I should have sat at. That was not an issue as the service otherwise was spectacular on both occasions. A full buffet awaits. The good news is you don't have to stay at the hotel to enjoy the buffet breakfast at Bistro Fax. You could be passing through the city and in need of a quality breakfast experience.
The wagyu beef burger that was delivered to my room
A variety of hot dishes are available such as roasted tomatoes and chipolatas. The bacon, chipolatas and the pork sausages are made in front of your very eyes, and there is a display area where you can point how you wish your eggs to be cooked. The poached eggs were just amazing, and the chef at the cooking station kindly brought my dish to my table. Now that's great customer service.
The range of delicious French pastries as part of the buffet breakfast experience
Apart from the hot selections, the buffet breakfast also included cereals and a variety of different fruits. I even enjoyed some smoked salmon with a bit of cream cheese to match. A variety of different French pastries were also enjoyed including the mini croissants, and the chocolate varieties. Small pieces of banana bread was also enjoyed, something of which I have never seen at a buffet breakfast before.
An amazing indulgence...then again we only live once...
Furthermore, not to mention small glasses of banana smoothies and bottles of Yakult. A variety of different juices were also enjoyed, and enjoying a bottle of Santa Vittoria was also different albeit refreshing.
Down to the buffet breakfast service area
Stunning decor that is striking modernism with the heritage historical element of the hotels building is a perfect combination. Plush seating arrangements are also enjoyed. At first observation the chairs are quite low, although you get used to them quite quickly.
My eggs were poached to perfection
The wagyu beef burger with mesculun salad and beer battered fries ($25 with a $4.50 room service charge) I ordered when I recently stayed at this hotel was also flavoursome. Chunky, well cooked fries dipped into a little tub of canned gourmet tomato sauce. The salad had a hint of a herby flavour, and the beef was utterly filling. Executive Chef Oswin Ribeiro clearly knows what he is doing.
Fresh hot food, the way many people love it
The bar area is currently serving up an amazing cocktail called the choctail, the only Max Brenner alcoholic treat available in Sydney, if not anywhere. A hot chocolate in a Max Brenner hugmug can also be enjoyed here. At the Bistro Fax Bar, guests can also enjoy a 'blu' cocktail called the Marilyn Martini with blue pearls.
The Marilyn Martini cocktail
Bistro Fax is a great place to spoil yourself. Two courses are currently $35, while an extra course can be available for only $10 for either lunch or dinner.

Enjoying a simple dinner treat in my Radisson Blu hotel room
An easy place to unwind and come back to time and time again. Spacious ambience and great times.
Variety is definitely the spice of life here...
Amen to a hot, delicious buffet breakfast at Bistro Fax Restaurant & Bar. Thank you Radisson Blu Hotel Sydney
