Updated 01 May 2023
With its cinematic beach-and-harbour backdrop, Sydney was made for celebrating special moments.
An award-winning fine-dining spot, housed in the Sydney Opera House, ups the ante on any celebration. A wharfside institution, known for its top-notch Italian plates, has hosted everyone from Beyonce to Taika Waititi. A Mexican restaurant in Glebe offers festive, ceremonial tortillas, stamped with elaborate Aztec patterns.
Across Sydney, these are the places to ring in occasions of every shape and size—so book your table at one of these top 11 restaurants now.
