About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for scenic views
Romantic

Quay is one of the country’s most celebrated restaurants; the creation of leading Australian restaurant group, Fink, and Executive Chef Peter Gilmore.

Quay offers a signature tasting menu at $365 per person.

The reimagination of Quay has welcomed an organic space reflective of Peter Gilmore’s nature inspired cuisine. The interplay of textures and colour bring new life and a vibrancy that embraces the restaurant’s place in the dress circle of Sydney Harbour. An ode to the Australian landscape, from the vast ocean floor, to the cracked bark of a paperbark tree, every detail from the ground up has been thoughtfully considered.

A new era for Quay, gives an opportunity to fulfil even greater aspirations in delivering a most personal and immersive dining experience.

5 Stars – Amazing Experience! I had an unforgettable dining experience at Quay Restaurant in Sydney! From the moment I arrived, the ambiance was breathtaking. The views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House were absolutely stunning – a perfect backdrop for an evening of exceptional food. I brought my 6-year-old daughter with me, and I hadn’t checked the menu ahead of time. I was a bit concerned since there wasn’t a specific kids’ menu, but the staff went above and beyond. They kindly recommended some dishes for my daughter, and I was truly impressed with their thoughtfulness and the quality of the food they suggested. It was really commendable how they made us both feel welcome and taken care of. The degustation menu for adults was extraordinary. Each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, showcasing the best of Australian cuisine. The use of native ingredients added a unique touch that I truly appreciated. The wine pairing was also fantastic. Each wine complemented the dishes perfectly, and the staff provided detailed explanations of each wine, adding an educational aspect to the experience. It was clear that they truly know and care about what they’re serving. The service was impeccable – the staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel like valued guests throughout the evening. Every detail was thought out, making the entire experience feel special. While it’s definitely an investment, the quality of the food, the views, and the overall experience are more than worth it. I highly recommend Quay for anyone looking for an extraordinary dining experience in Sydney, whether you’re dining alone or with your family.

The view! The ambience! Sublime. The food — interesting but flawed. Tasty but over processed. Too much pureed, gelleed, whipped. We needed more texture. It wound up being too much of the same. How many seafood gelee tastes do we want. Our table if 4 says, go once for the experience. One and done. It’s way expensive but we don’t regret having the total experience.

We came here for dinner. The view of the restaurant is excellent, we can see both the opera house and harbour bridge at our table. Food is quite good and sophisticated, but I would say I expected better for the reputation and for this price. We had the 8-courses menu and the portions were just right. Wine pairing was excellent and value for money.

This was the most wonderful location to have brought my international visitors, especially as Vivid was right there all around us. The tasting menu was excellent but I would still have preferred an a la carte menu. Nevertheless an exceptional evening.

お料理はとても美味しく、華やかでアート。最高のロケーションでしたがクーラーが効き過ぎていたのとサービスがゆっくりすぎて食事を終わるのに4時間もかかったので、少し間延びした感じが残念でした。全体的には、スペシャルな感覚を味わう事が出来るので素晴らしいと思います。

Unique dinning experience. If you are not adventurous in what you eat, this restaurant is not for you. Selection was a set six or ten course menu only. Small portions that had to be described and then explained when served. My wife ate about half of the meal. Venue is spectacular and service was excellent. For 4, including 2 bottles of wine, our bill was $AU 1,600.
