PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIA
Bistro Lilly is in the heart of Sydney, tucked under Observatory Tower, yet a subtle French ambience infuses the room. Perhaps it is the comfortably chic interior - rich chocolate covered walls bathed in soft lighting -Bistro Lilly’s food is Modern French and the menu reads like a bon vivant’s wish list. Is everyone here a regular? Patrons appear so comfortable they meld into the surroundings. Host and co-owner Cher treats everyone as old friends while her husband (and business partner) Marc greets each table and offers
Bistro Lilly is a smart, sophisticated bistro. With a heated outdoor terrace and a large indoor dining room adorned in soft sepia tones and white tablecloths, Bistro Lilly's warm atmosphere and efficent service make it ideal for alfresco lunches and cosy dinners.

Husband and wife team Marc and Cher Thomson researched all the elements of the great restaurants during a 12 month tour of Italy, Spain, France and the USA. Inspired by their travels, they returned to Sydney to create Bistro Lilly.

FUNCTIONS
The dining room is suitable for all private functions, including weddings, cocktail parties and corporate functions, with a maximum capacity of 120 guests. Bistro Lilly boasts one of the best private dining areas for corporate or private entertaining accommodating up to 30 guests for a sit-down dinner. Start with drinks and canapés on our terrace, before choosing from a full a la carte menu and selected wines.
