Cafe Sydney

Wonderful food, service and atmosphere.
Great views across the harbour.
Very attentive and knowledgeable staff.
The Crustacean Platter was amazing & went really well with a very nice Pinot Gris.
Also the salted caramel espresso martini was a great finisher.

One of the must try dining experiences in the city with a beautiful outdoor terrace for dining with harbour views.

My wagyu with chilli butter is easily one of my favourite steaks ever.

Service is warm and efficient with staff attentive but not overbearing.

Lovely and nice staff all of you guys. Thank you for holding lift door and warm nice greeting on the way out, even though after the shift. I wish I could deliver my sincere gratitude to you all for making my day special.

Love to have amazing food. Obviously it depends on personal taste. For me, less salty and still flavorful. I love the most that I could enjoy each menu with each signature scent. I really wish I can explain better, sorry yummy! is all my expression usually 😅.

Atmosphere lovely. On the way to our table, when I saw my lover sitting and waiting for me. Held the breath. I think can’t be better than this view. Recommended!

We have been to Cafe Sydney a couple of times, and it has never disappointed us. The food,service, and atmosphere are amazing. The view from the balcony is spectacular. Please note that the tomato on the plate is served with the lamb cutlet, but my partner doesn't like it.

What a wonderful experience! Our welcome and table location were outstanding. Our server Daniel was professional and friendly. All the serving staff were super pleasant. Our food was flavourful and innovative. The salted caramel Kahlua cocktail was the perfect way to finish!

Parking is hard to find. Easier to use the light rail or ferry.

The location is beautiful and easy to find. Booking is also easy.

We were seated quickly and served by about 7 different people throughout the experience. The menu is quite large and has lots of options.

The view is great and mostly unobstructed. The prices are also reasonable.

Would highly recommend booking to come here.

My son told me I had to come here next time I was in Sydney. So here I am and was really excited about my dinner date with my son ..
what an incredible experience!!
10/10
Greeted by really friendly professional staff
The atmosphere was 10/10
Such a trendy city vibe it was pumping on a Saturday night at 6pm

We couldn’t get a table out on the terrace unfortunately but then the weather was a little rainy that day and blustery

We had a great table for two by the window so we still had really good views of the harbour bridge

The menu was simply superb a real delight

We decided to share our meals so we food have the pleasure of tasting a couple of dishes

The Beef tenderloin melted in our mouths cooked to perfection
New Zealand Snapper was just superbly cooked lovely crispy skin
Vegetables on both dishes cooked beautifully
The Roast Quail breast was juicy & tender with a crispness to it

Enjoyed a glass of Shiraz /Pinot Noir

The saving the best till last the signature dessert Salted Caramel Hazelnut dulce de Leche slice was the next level

Shared with the Blood Orange Campari cheesecake WOW nice light refreshing tangy full of flavours

Last but not lest an After thought cocktail
Salted Caramel martini what an incredible way to finish an outstanding dinning experience a martini that just didn’t finish

Great views great food outstanding experience worth every penny

Highly recommend

The views from this restaurant are amazing. The venue looks out on to the harbour with a view of the Harbour Bridge. The food is exquisite and beautifully presented.
As this place is very popular with tourists, reservations are encouraged and the place gets packed unless you go early.
The restaurant is located on the fifth floor of the Customs House just across from Circular Quay.

An amazing restaurant in an amazing location with breathtaking views. From the moment I walked in, the service from the staff was top notch. They all couldn’t have been more helpful, and friendly. They were very knowledgeable on all the dishes, wines, etc.
The food was very nice from start to finish.
I will definitely be back here again !

It was beautiful all the staff were amazing and food was fantastic I am vegetarian and very hard to get pleased by food when it comes to vegetarian. Appetisers to main course just too good. My friend and his wife are regular there and this time we whole group went and we all enjoyed every bit of it.

It's that 10 on 10 kind of a place ... the food was delicious the service was amazing and you absolutely cannot have a better view in Sydney.. we went there on a Monday evening and the place was jam packed with people which tells you about its popularity amongst its patrons.. They have a vegan menu which looked beautiful and we decided to mix and match with the vegan and regular menu.i had the braised leeks with romesco sauce and. Dukka which was a very beautiful smooth flavour and the tandoori salmon was exquisite.. my partner had the bug from their specials and the miso pork loin and he seemed like a pretty happy man at the end of it all. Over all its a perfect spot for a date night in Sydney

Had the absolute BEST time at Cafe Sydney last Saturday night. It was a surprise birthday dinner and the view was an amazing WOW moment when we arrived. Our waitress Gosia was one of the best parts of our evening. She was professional, warm and funny and so attentive from beginning to end. The food was absolutely delicious and the wine waiter helped us to make the perfect choice for our meal. Top class restaurant and our absolute favourite go to whenever we're in Sydney.

A unique cafe with amazing atmosphere! The food is excellent, staff very warm and helpful and the views amazing!

Had lunch with 2 others, and wasn’t planning to come to Sydney cafe. Coming in at 12:45pm we didn’t know if there was going to a table but there was. The view is stunning looking out at the harbour, and the food was paired amazingly. Our waiter was amazing checking up on us all the time, and making sure we were having an enjoyable time. I myself had the beef tenderloin at medium rare, and it was tender very tender. The tenderloin was one of the best I ever had and my friends regarded their dishes (Lamb Cutlet and John Dory) highly as well. The dessert however was the star, with the salted caramel hazelnut being delicious.

5/5

Great food. Reasonable prices. Friendly staff - professionally relaxed. Excellent table - Thank you!

Fantastic meal with 'dear friends'.
Seated at a table with an amazing view (pretty much all the restaurant tables have a view of the Opera House & Harbour Bridge). Food was top level and we also had some really nice bubbles and chardonnay from the extensive wine list.
Service was excellent - we were treated to a complementary oyster to sample the 'special' and offered a different table with view for dessert when our table was required for the next service.
A bit pricey but felt it was still good value for a special occasion.

The venue was booked by my friend who stayed in Sydney and the location is incredible.
Located on the top floor of The Custom House, the view is stunning with the backdrop of the famous Sydney bridge.
I let my friend do the orders for wine and food, and everything was excellent.
I will recommend this place to anyone to experience the evening view of Sydney.

We had an incredible time, such a great place to take visitors. The view is amazing and would highly recommend the terraced seating. Food was delicious, we love the Oysters, Goats Cheese Souffle and Lamb in particular. We could not fault a thing! Service was great too, Kirilly was attentive, friendly and funny. Thanks so much, we will definitely be back.

Very good experience. We had a table on the terrace, they have heaters so even in colder weather it’s perfectly fine, and you have a lovely view of Sydney Harbour Bridge. Our waiter was Francesco, who was very helpful, and knew the dishes. We took some of his recommendations ok board, and he was absolutely right. The food quality was excellent, the portions were very generous, and very well composed flavours. Our favourite were the beef tartare, and the john dory. We had a few oysters, a starter, and a main with some side salad and potatoes, but unfortunately we didn’t have space for dessert.
Overall it was a perfect dinner, and I can’t stress out enough how good Francesco’s service was.

My sons wedding and family were there. His step mum his step mum paid our bill. So awfully lovely but then she is a beautiful lady. A lady in the best of the meaning of the word. Thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. A huge thank you to the staff as they were very attentive. Magnificent restaurant and the views were exquisite. Beautiful time had by all. My son and his bride were over the moon that both his mums were there to celebrate.
