Peter Gilmore's more accessible sibling to Quay sits inside the iconic shells of the Sydney Opera House itself, making it one of the most dramatic dining rooms on earth. The menu celebrates Australian produce with a lighter touch than Quay, and the bar menu is an excellent lower-commitment option. The location means it attracts tourists, but the cooking is genuinely excellent and the setting is unmatched.
