The Oriana Sydney

The Oriana sits at the northern end of the Overseas Passenger Terminal on Circular Quay West in The Rocks, on Sydney Harbour. A much-loved restaurant and bar, it makes the most of its spectacular harbourfront position — combining quality food and a good drinks offering with stunning views over the harbour, the Opera House and the Bridge, the kind of special-occasion venue that captures the best of Sydney.

The appeal is that combination of quality food, a good drinks-and-cocktail offering and an absolutely spectacular harbourfront location with views of the Opera House and Bridge, ideal for a special meal, drinks with a view, a celebration or a memorable day or night out. The unbeatable harbour outlook makes it a genuine drawcard, and the Oriana has clearly drawn a big following.

With a 4.2 rating from more than 5,100 reviews, it's clearly a popular spot. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and any events vary, and a popular harbourfront venue gets busy and fills up for the views, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a special occasion or a table with a harbour view at Circular Quay.
