Sydney Opera House is a landmark that everyone knows.
Bennelong is a sea view restaurant hidden in the opera house.
Not only is the scenery unique, the food tastes very good and is worth a visit.
My personal favorite and I recommend it to everyone.
Lobster, beef tartare, fried wagyu beef.
There is also a dessert, the white Sydney Opera House.
Chocolate brownie + white coconut milk ice cream.
As a dessert lover, it is very satisfying [heart]

Finest fresh seafood and amazing fish dishes
Verified User Reviews
I tried Saint Peter in Paddington at noon today. It is the best restaurant in Sydney in 2018. The restaurant is not big, and the overall decoration is also in a nonchalant style. It focuses on seafood, especially fish (St. Peter is the patron saint of fishermen).
The dishes are very good. The starter is sea urchin donuts. Very fresh white bay sea urchin sashimi is placed on donuts and seasoned with tartar sauce. The effect is surprisingly good. The main course is today's chef's special recommendation of fried swordfish sandwiches. The sauce is Greek yogurt mixed vegetables. Although the overall degree of surprise is not as good as the starter, it is also remarkable. The soft white bread, crispy fried fish shell and tender and elastic fish meat form a rich taste. The sauce is just a little sour. If it is a little sweeter, it may be more suitable for my taste.
Finally, it must be emphasized that his family is very cost-effective. It is basically the average price of ordinary meals in Sydney, suitable for frequent consumption.
Chef Niland has slowly transformed this restaurant into one of Sydney's top restaurants. After all the accolades he and his team have won, the restaurant still exudes creativity and continues to impress. The service was very professional, the atmosphere was very vibrant, and the food was simply delicious! Thank you for such an incredible dining experience!

🍴 Last time I came here, I had the truffle menu. As the seasons change, the sweetest ingredients of the season are always on the table. This season, let's leave it to the sea urchin to satisfy our taste buds. 👏 Uni Hash is super delicious. It's small but has distinct flavors. My colleagues' sandwiches are great, but I love the fried chicken Indonesian fried noodles that I ordered the most. It's really delicious when coated with egg liquid.
Last week, despite the high temperature, I checked in at Sydney Cafe. It was really worth it...it was delicious! [tears] Then I walked all the way to Lavender Bay, then walked through Lunar Park, and then took a boat to Darling Harbour to enjoy the breeze...I don’t know why I am becoming more and more silent about the blue sky, white clouds and sea breeze. Maybe I am getting older and like to embrace nature [laugh cry][laugh cry][laugh cry]

The two hats restaurant, which has been in the Crown for several years, has an unbeatable view of the Yarra River. I booked a week in advance but couldn't get a window seat. Spicy mussels were undoubtedly my favorite of the night. The taste was so surprising and the content was so rich. Their steak is the main dish. You can smell the aged beef aroma as soon as you enter the door. If you love green beans, don't miss the Mushy peas with poach egg. Very pleasant dining experience
The crab meat pasta is really big and visible to the naked eye! The portion is super large and there is a lot of crab meat! Every strand of pasta is covered with delicious sauce, sour and rich in tomato flavor, so addictive~

High-rise restaurant overlooking Sydney Harbour
Verified User Reviews
The restaurant is located on the 36th floor overlooking the magnificent Sydney Harbour. The view alone is a good reason to book here (especially if you are from out of town). The service was good and the wine list was extensive and better than other restaurants of this type. The menu was also very good with a wide selection, from a variety of delicious Australian beef to a variety of seafood and vegetarian dishes. The desserts were also good. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience.
This restaurant is located on the 36th floor of the Shangri-La Hotel in Sydney. You can directly overlook the Sydney Harbour, the Sydney Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. The view is great. The atmosphere is even better when dining here at night, and you can overlook the entire night view of Sydney Harbour. Therefore, when you come to Sydney, I highly recommend dining at this restaurant and enjoying the night view of Sydney.

What an incredible find! We were so lucky to find this place after walking around the bay. We were a group of 8 and ordered a variety of dishes on the menu and all were delicious! Beautiful decor, respect for Sydney's history reflected throughout the building and menu. The view was beautiful too. So glad we found this place!

This is probably my favorite restaurant I've ever eaten at. Every dish is very thoughtful and delicious, especially the bread and desserts, which are simply delicious! I checked the news before going there. The owner of this restaurant is Somm. Her wine list is also three stars, but there are not many choices for single-glass wines. Because it is mainly paired with seafood, I chose white wine Vermentino, which is my favorite flower and tropical fruit aroma and not too acidic. If you go there, you can also order this to try.

It was a set menu but every dish was cooked to perfection, creative and delicious. The freshly baked brioche and lamb melted in our mouths. Service was good. The menu usually requires a 2 hour wait. We will be back.

The restaurant manager is my friend, but unfortunately he was not there when I went there. It costs 79 Australian dollars per person on Sunday, which is much cheaper than three hats. Later we added truffles and bug shrimps, so the final bill was about 140 Australian dollars per person. This restaurant is far away, but the taste is also quite good. Recommended.

The location hidden in the residential area is a bit inconspicuous. As soon as you enter the door, you will see the old-fashioned floor, fireplace and hand-painted ceramic wall lamps. It feels like you have traveled to the old houses in the Paris block in the last century in a second~
The taste can be regarded as the level of deliciousness in Sydney Fine Dining. After eating a few dishes, you will not feel particularly greasy at the end. The dessert at the end is another surprise. The sour prune frozen taste is matched with the sweet sauce, and the sour and sweet taste bursts in the mouth at the same time.
The restaurant is located in Australia and has a comfortable environment. Each dish is well prepared and tastes first-rate. The fish, vegetables and beef are cooked to a very high standard. The service staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is reasonably priced and cost-effective, making it a good choice for dinner.
