Opera Bar
An iconic location (l,d; $$)
Overlooking the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and city skyline, waterfront Opera Bar is the ultimate Sydney experience. Head in late afternoon for a lazy drink and consider staying on for the live music (held daily) and a casual bite. Overseen by celebrity chef Matt Moran, the menu spans snacks to substantial dishes; everything from dips and sashimi to roasted seasonal vegetables and juicy steaks.
