Matt Moran's flagship restaurant occupies a prime spot beside the Opera House with arguably the best harbour views of any fine-dining room in the city. The contemporary Australian menu is polished and reliable, with excellent seafood and a wine list that spans serious Australian and French bottles. It's a go-to for visiting dignitaries and special occasions — the view alone justifies the price for many.
