Quay

Quay is one of Sydney’s most celebrated and internationally recognised fine dining restaurants, located at the Overseas Passenger Terminal in The Rocks with unobstructed views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Helmed by acclaimed chef Peter Gilmore, Quay has long been regarded as a benchmark for fine dining in Australia, earning multiple three-hat accolades from the Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide and consistent placement on prestigious global restaurant rankings. The restaurant’s multi-course tasting menu is a masterclass in creativity and restraint, each dish meticulously composed to highlight premium seasonal Australian ingredients in unexpected and beautiful ways. Gilmore’s cooking draws deeply on nature — textures, colours and flavours that reference the Australian landscape — resulting in food that is visually extraordinary and deeply satisfying on the palate. The dining room is elegant and understated, allowing the harbour panorama and the food itself to take centre stage. Service is exemplary throughout, with a front-of-house team that is polished, knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. The wine list is extensive and thoughtfully curated, with a strong emphasis on Australian producers alongside a wide-ranging international selection. Reservations are highly sought after and should be made well in advance. Quay is particularly suitable for diners seeking a world-class fine dining experience in Sydney.
