Cafe Sydney

Not one for shying away from the good life, this lucky lady spent her second consecutive night dining out on Sydney's harbour. This time, around the corner from ARIA, atop the historic Customs House, at Cafe Sydney.

With a swanky interior, gorgeous waitstaff and a view you'd happily eat your hat to get to, this is one dining experience that visitors and Sydneysiders alike should endeavour to treat themselves to. Thankfully their food is also divine so no hats need me on the menu.

Modern fusion dishes celebrate fresh seasonal produce, with a focus on seafood. The unique flavours of Asia, India and Europe are captured through the kitchen's use of a wood-fired grill, authentic wok and Indian tandoor oven. Your taste buds will be led unto temptation, your tummy satisfied and your eyes delighted.
