Why it's worth checking out
Ruse Bar and Brasserie sits at Parramatta Square on Darcy Street, in the heart of Parramatta in Sydney's thriving west. A bar and brasserie in one of the city's most dynamic and rapidly growing precincts, it offers quality food and drinks in a smart, contemporary setting — perfectly placed among the offices, dining and energy of the revitalised Parramatta Square.
The appeal is that combination of accomplished brasserie-style food, a good drinks offering and a polished, central setting, ideal for after-work drinks, a relaxed dinner or a meal in the heart of Sydney's growing western hub. As Parramatta continues to flourish as a dining destination, well-run venues like this have given the area real appeal.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 1,000 reviews, it's clearly delivering for its visitors. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular central venue fills up around peak times and events, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a busy time, or heading out in Parramatta.
