Bennelong is one of my favorite fine dining destinations in Sydney – the bold flavors, the moody atmosphere, and the cocktails truly appeal to my palate. After dining from the three-course a la carte menu at the restaurant once and with two sessions at the Cured & Cultured bar under my belt, I’ve come to…

The Dining Room, Park Hyatt Sydney
The Dining Room at Park Hyatt is a vastly underrated dining experience. With a dazzling view of the Sydney Opera House, a fine meal, and a glass of wine in hand, The Dining Room is hitting all the right marks. You’ll get bang for your buck, especially for lunch when it’s $39, $59, or $69 for 1, 2 or…
Automata, Chippendale
Housed inside the newly revamped The Old Clare Hotel, Automata hits fine dining with unpretentious stride. Clayton Wells, formerly sous chef at Momofuku Seiobo (which I loved, by the way – check out my post here), has found a new home in Chippendale. Menu changes crop up in the blink of an eye, so there’s a very good chance…
Bentley Restaurant & Bar, Sydney CBD
At Bentley Restaurant & Bar Brent Savage not only brings innovation to the table, but also shows off his effortless flair for extracting the perfect balance of flavors in every dish. Relocated from their smaller Surry Hills space, the bigger and better Bentley is now housed in Radisson Blu Hotel. Before ur tasting menu gets going, we…
Momofuku Seiobo, Pyrmont
While I spent my actual 30th birthday in Fiji (side note: I highly recommend spending the Big 3-0 on a tropical island), the night before we flew off to Nadi, Eric took me to Momofuku for my birthday dinner. The 10-course meal is without a doubt in the Top 10 of my 2014 eating adventures. First…
Monopole, Potts Point
For $65 Monopole‘s tasting menu is dangerously good value. Everything is to share. There wasn’t a single dish I didn’t like. And the presentation of each dish was spot on. We start with finely sliced cured meats. Delicate bits of cured duck breast, Berkshire pork neck and Rangers Valley bresaola are assembled on a wooden board…
Icebergs Dining Room, Bondi Beach
With an unparalleled view of Bondi Beach, Icebergs Dining Room is one of the best restaurants in Sydney for a long lunch session. Feasting on delicious food while gazing at the turquoise sea is my idea of a good time. While there were some mishaps with the reservations team (ie. the lady wouldn’t believe that I…
LuMi Dining, Pyrmont
LuMi Dining was only a few weeks old when I visited on a sunny Saturday for lunch. I’m easily influenced by photos that people post on Instagram, and my strong desire to visit LuMi was thanks to chef Sam Young (@bigsamyoung) who I had met earlier this year at Minus 8 Underground. LuMi is furnished…
