Luxury Dining in Sydney

When it comes to dining in style, Sydney truly has its finger on the pulse. With a city full of celebrated chefs just waiting to impress you, the food scene in Sydney has gone from strength to strength over the past ten years and now boasts and incredibly high standard across the board. For a real treat, there’s not going past Tetsuya’s, the inner-city culinary oasis established by the legendary Tetsuya Wakuda that showcases some of the most inventive and skillfully prepared dishes in the country – and the world. Other fine dining establishments include the harbourside Quay Restaurant, with its well-known snow egg dessert, and Aria, the recently hatted and much-lauded foodie-favourite. For a meal with a great view, Café Sydney looks out over the bridge and the Opera House and serves up consistent quality and a dizzying wine list!

Fancy Drinks in Sydney

If you want a great cocktail in a classy setting, Sydney has more than a few options to keep you satisfied. The Piano Room is an upstairs cocktail bar and nightclub reminiscent of the Piano bars in New York City, and simply oozes sexy charm and opulence. With plush furniture and intimate tables, it’s the perfect place to start the night with that someone special. Ask the bartender to whip you up something customised, simply by telling them what flavours you like, and be blown away by the intricate tastes and the amount of skill and passion that goes into the work they do here. Also great for cocktails is Goldfish, a bar in Kings Cross that has undergone a facelift in the last few years. Once the domain of rowdy youths and football crowds, the Goldfish now caters to a much more sophisticated clientele, with a drinks list to prove it!

Both areas are surrounded by great restaurants, shops and views, and there are plenty of activities to keep the whole family entertained.
