We’ve enjoyed developing a whimsical dessert menu based on traditional Australian sweets, and the wine list, similarly – is a reflection of the best of Australia – without taking itself too seriously", Peter Gilmore.

Such a beautiful setting and so beautiful during the day. The service was amazing and you could tell that waitstaff staff took great pride in the food as they explained every dish as it was served. The food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

This is a lovely place to have a meal, coffee, dink, whatever. Beautiful views of the harbour, varying, depending on where you are seated. I'm a pensioner so the meal prices are a bit stiff, but some meals are better value: the pasta, the fish.

The view! The ambience! Sublime. The food — interesting but flawed. Tasty but over processed. Too much pureed, gelleed, whipped. We needed more texture. It wound up being too much of the same. How many seafood gelee tastes do we want. Our table if 4 says, go once for the experience. One and done. It’s way expensive but we don’t regret having the total experience.

This is a lovely restaurant on a totally iconic site. We are from the UK so it was lovely to eat in the Sydney Opera House. Menu is limited but food very good and service excellent.
