Why it's worth checking out

Cafe Sydney sits on the top floor of the historic Customs House at Circular Quay, one of the most spectacular dining positions in the city. A celebrated restaurant with sweeping views over the harbour, the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, it's long been regarded as one of Sydney's premier spots for a meal with a view.

The appeal is that combination of accomplished cooking, a polished setting and an unbeatable rooftop outlook over the harbour, ideal for a special meal, a celebration or simply a memorable lunch or dinner with that quintessential Sydney panorama. The location atop the grand heritage building only adds to the sense of occasion.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 4,000 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners in a prime location. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a sought-after rooftop restaurant with views like these books out, so it's well worth checking current details and reserving a table directly ahead — particularly if you're after a spot with the best of the harbour views, dining with a group, or marking a special occasion.
