About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Good for business meals

For years, Our Restaurant stood as a cornerstone of dining at Rydges Armidale, beloved for its warm atmosphere and familiar flavours. But with time came a desire for something more—an experience that not only honours the rich traditions of the past but also breathes new life into the present, blending timeless culinary heritage with modern sophistication.

At Ottoman, guests are welcomed into an intimate and inviting space where the air is filled with the enticing aromas of Turkish and Ottoman-inspired dishes, each crafted with fresh, vibrant ingredients. The restaurant is more than a place to eat; it’s an immersive experience, where the bold flavours of the menu are paired with the warmth of a communal atmosphere, inviting diners to savour not just the food, but the shared moments around the table.

Welcome to a new era of dining.

Lovely restaurant decor, lights and furnishings created a beautiful relaxing atmosphere. Food was authentically presented and delicious. Service was excellent, especially the waiter serving our water. Separate bar area was beautifully decorated and large fire on screen for ambiance as well as tv playing movies, we enjoyed, to relax with coffee later.Well done and recommend.

Attended to celebrate son’s 30th birthday 22 Aug. we have dined here before and thoroughly enjoyed the food however on this occasion the mains we had were disappointing. Meat was tough and dry and very salty.
