AZchieffan Posted September 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted September 21, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 21, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted September 21, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Or http://www.quay.com.au/menu/ Lovely but in my opinion over priced. Then don’t overlook that some pubs have great food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53 Shiraz Posted September 21, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 21, 2018 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 $$!

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted September 22, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 22, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mr walker Posted September 22, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I share what I recently posted on an upcoming roll-call in response to a similar question from a poster from USA: Places to try in Sydney include Quay, which is right there where the ship berths - well regarded for high end food. Also Kingsley's for steak and seafood, & Otto Ristorante (Italian), both at Woolloomooloo Wharf are highly regarded. Beppis in Darlinghurst is a Sydney icon, as is Doyles (seafood) at Watsons Bay (take the ferry). You should visit Manly or Bondi beaches (or both) and eat at the many beachside cafes, or try the pubs in the Rocks (adjacent to the ship wharf) for a real Sydney meal. Or there's also the Sydney icon - Harry's Café de Wheels at the 'Loo. There is a nice café (Naked Duck) on Liverpool St, across from Hyde Park. Some food for thought :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doyle’s at the pub option is less expensive but still nice sitting outside if the weather is friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishfulone Posted September 22, 2018 #15 Share Posted September 22, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare gdlamberth Posted September 22, 2018 #16 Share Posted September 22, 2018 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:(. Tanks, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZchieffan Posted September 24, 2018 Author #18 Share Posted September 24, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swissmiss6253 Posted September 25, 2018 #19 Share Posted September 25, 2018 In Manly I like Garfish, Hugos is nice (but expensive). I also like the Little Viet Kitchen and Mira (I think) Japanese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
