Sydney dinner


Recommended Posts

We will be in Sydney for a few nights next month, prior to boarding our cruise. Wondering where people would suggest for a birthday dinner in Sydney, group of 6, weeknight, child friendly, mains <$30 & harbour views.

 

We will be staying near Circular Quay so either walking distance or ferry.

 

Thanks in advance.

Agree with Ozkiwi rather expensive around that area, you could take a Ferry to Darling Harbour there are plenty of reasonably priced eateries in that area .

Or over to Manly, maybe Watson’s Bay Doyle’s at the pub.

If OP is thinking in USD, it may be a bit easier....

 

Good point. And is that US $30 plus 20% tip?

 

A US $30 main without tip would be around AU $40.

 

A US $30 main with 20% tip, so US $36 total, would be around AU $48.

 

That makes quite a difference to the choice of restaurants

Now we are getting into "Quay" territiory... 😎

 

Nowhere near! Only two options there now - the ten course tasting menu at $275pp, and the six course tasting menu at $210. Plus drinks, of course.

Shows when I have been to THAT place last.. ☺ and then the company was paying..

 

Ripples, over at Milsons Point should fit the bill.

 

Quay has just had a major revamp and they've decided to only do the degustation menus. it only reopened late last month.

 

Yes, Ripples would be nice. I'd forgotten about that, it's a while since I've been there.

 

Our favourite Circular Quay restaurant is the Sydney Cove Oyster Bar but it's probably a bit expensive and I'm not sure how well it caters for kids.

Did you want something right on the Quay? The main dining area just 2 min off the Quay is called The Rocks. A lot more dining choices there by far. We stayed in Sydney post cruise for 5 nights this year at the Marriott and usually walked over to The Rocks area.

No Tipping required in Australia!!

Thanks all. Born & bred Australian :) Does not need to be in the Quay exactly, just looking for suggestions with harbour views for a birthday dinner. We have visited Sydney a bit so familiar with some of the areas, e.g. Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, Manly, Watsons Bay.
