Ian M. • January 13, 2019Excellent food and service. One tip is that the rice portion is enough for two people in my opinion. If your hungry order the rice and naan, otherwise choose one or the other.

Mario B. • February 4, 2014Great & attentive service, but our lemon, lime & bitters drinks not that good. The food, especially the bouillabaisse, was excellent. Great views!

Pigu • July 13, 2019Great pre-theatre dinner venue at the Opera House. Pre-theatre menu is well priced and the food is good. If the weather is nice, sit outside. If not, sit outside anyway - they have heaters & blankets!

Catherine K. • May 11, 2023Cafe Sydney is the quintessential, humble yet fabulous rooftop dining delight. Book ahead (a month or two) for a terrace table. Culinary experts. It’s fun watching the chefs @ work in the galley
