Best Restaurants for Foodies in Dawes Point / Walsh Bay

One of the only restaurants in sydney with a view like this! The food and service is beyond good. Great for romantic dinners! Thank you Elements!

The perfect place to celebrate Valentine's Day. The chef put together an amazing array of Aussie delicacies that made this visit quite an experience. The staff treated us like royalty. And the views just can't be beat anywhere in the world!

Valentines Day set menu had outstanding choices if it was a bit pricey. The service was attentive and we were served quickly. Nice atmosphere. All 6 of us enjoyed our meals!

Thank you for an amazing lunch, the service was exceptional and the food to die for. Especially the Prawns and the Toothfish (which is the first time I have ever eaten out and had it cooked perfectly). The Cauliflower Karaage was so beautiful and fresh it blew my socks off. Thank you again to all the team for a memorable dining experience.

Considering the cost on its own to ascend the pylon and see the museum ($30+ per adult), $110pp (inc. booking fee) is good value for this experience. The 200+ stairs are easy, wide staircases with railings and as you stop along the way with a guide to learn about the bridge and stop for an aperitif, watch a short film and stop at the gift shop and bathrooms, it breaks the ascent up so you don’t really notice it. Unless you struggle with one flight of stairs normally, these stairs should not be an issue. I was dreading it and pictured myself arriving dripping in sweat and panting, but I wasn’t. We were blessed with a cracking bright, blue afternoon but even an overcast day would be spectacular up there. It was extremely windy, so tie hair back and forget about a hat or anything that a gust of wind could take off your head. The service of drinks and food was more generous than the booking suggested which was a lovely surprise. You spend about an hour out on the pylon open area soaking in the 360 degree views and the drinks and canapes are brought to you. As there were only 10 guests, there was no worry of being left out. Wait staff ensured everyone got the same access to food and drink no matter where they chose to be. Music played from a speaker and was fun and upbeat classic songs that people started singing and moving to. All staff from Bridgeclimb and Luke’s Table were attentive, friendly and efficient. As for the food itself, it was delicious. Mostly little, crisp, tartlet cases filled with yummy things. The wagyu beef and cherry tartare was our favourite, followed by the warm pea and goats cheese and the creamy strawberry vinaigrette oyster. The lobster prawn toast was also moreish. I imagine the dinner offering would be amazing, especially with sunset, but at 4 times the price, I think it makes the Tour and Tasting option excellent value. Think of it as a tasty tester to the dinner if you’re considering something special to celebrate and splurge on.
