Best Casual Restaurants in Circular Quay

Fabulous restaurant and great ambience if you don’t mind it to feel crowded and a bit noisy, hence the 4 stars for ambience.

We are Americans living in Sydney. First time away from home. We had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner and very much appreciated the staff’s welcoming approach and excellent service.

Cool place. Great happy hour from 4-6. Nice and peaceful until about 5/530 and then gets quite busy and a bit noisy. Bit really noisy though. Great service, food and happy hour choices.

Lovely quiet place to have a nice meal with a conversation when you don’t have to strain to hear each-other. The food was excellent (we had zucchini flowers, lamb and duck and mixed greens for side), just the right portions too, nicely presented. The glass of rose was also delicious. All very reasonably priced, in fact considerably cheaper than elsewhere we have been for a pre-shaw dinner. The service was unpretentious yet attentive and prompt. Thank you!

If you go with a fixed menu, be prepare to eat what’s on the fixed list. There is no “pick one of these 3 options”. You’d better like things like oysters, caviar, and raw tuna. If so, you will probably enjoy. If not, you may be wasting your money. There was nothing wrong with the food, but the menu was just too foo foo for me.
