Sydney restaurant recommendations

We are spending a couple nights in Sydney post cruise and was looking for recommendations for a nice restaurant in the CBD. We don't mind spending a few $$ for something nice.

Just in case our taste buds and budgets differ... https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g255060-Sydney_New_South_Wales.html

What type of food are after?

Then have a look at

https://www.williamblue.edu.au/about/william-blue-dining

It is part of a hospitality school prepared and served by students.

Or

Lovely but in my opinion over priced.

Then don’t overlook that some pubs have great food.

For a different experience, try 'FIREDOOR' in Surry Hills. It is wood-fired cooking with a new menu every day depending on what top-quality fresh ingredients they obtain. The'll be sure to relieve you of some of your spare $$!

If you like seafood then I recommend the Sydney Cove Oyster Bar at Circular Quay. https://sydneycoveoysterbar.com/

Great food and a great location. If you book ask for one of the tables next to the water.

I share what I recently posted on an upcoming roll-call in response to a similar question from a poster from USA:

Some food for thought :D

Yep Oyster bar is good, or Ferry down to Watson’s Bay and Doyle’s seafood.

The Doyle’s at the pub option is less expensive but still nice sitting outside if the weather is friendly.

There are so many in Sydney! Let us know what you like and Sydney people would like nothing better than talking restaurants!

I would Ike to point out to everyone that it wasn’t me who recommended Harry’S.

Depending on the time of year lunch or dinner at Doyles Watsons Bay. Its a Sydney institution for all things seafood. Catch a water taxi or the ferry from Circular Quay. There's a takeaway too and you can paddle your feet in the harbour while you enjoy your fish and chips! Great for a sunny day. Also on fish and chips and a wee bit more expensive is Catalina at Rose Bay and the best Greek food in Sydney is at the Athenian.

How common is it in Sydney for eateries to offer Gluten Free options? Here in rural SE Arizona; only a few restaurants carry a GF Certification (zero cross contamination); but, many have GF options on the menu, or maybe the option of GF bread or pasta. My wife is not Celiac; but Gluten Sensitive, and a large dose will disrupt the next two days of our vacation:(.

Places to try in Sydney include Quay, which is right there where the ship berths - well regarded for high end food.

So many options you all have given. Gonna spend the day in and around downtown our first day, so the oyster bar sounds good for lunch, check out a couple pubs around the Rocks and dinner some where nice close to the hotel (probably not the Quay unlesss we some how get lucky at the casino on our cruise). Next day we're going to head over to Manly for the day, so we will check out a a few places there. It's our first time to Australia so we would like try as many local cuisines as we can. Thank you everyone for all of the great reponses

In Manly I like Garfish, Hugos is nice (but expensive). I also like the Little Viet Kitchen and Mira (I think) Japanese.

I second that recommendation. In fact I’m going there this weekend for lunch.

I’m going to jump on this thread and ask a question the OP somewhat state, what are some must try local cuisines?
