A special Sydney experience is to catch the Rivercat from Circular Quay up the historic Parramatta River, explore Colonial Parramatta, - the cradle city of Australia and our first seat of Government, and then lunch on the outside terrace at Barnaby's overlooking the park and river. Barnaby's is a perfect venue for any corporate function or for celebrating a Wedding, Birthday, Christmas Party or Christening. Live music on the Friday and Saturday nights whilst our Internationally acclaimed sleight of hand magicians perform here Monday through to Thursday nights.

The rustic old colonial building in which Barnaby's Riverside is now housed, first came to fame during the early part of the nineteenth century as the hiding place of the infamous Barnaby Templeton - the first prisoner to have escaped from Parramatta Prison. Restored and rebuilt in 1976, Barnaby's Riverside, Parramatta, now enjoys a reputation based more on its modern Australian cuisine than its somewhat colourful past. Step into Barnaby's Riverside and you step into a great chapter of Australian History.
