Winter Dining At Its Best: This Iconic Restaurant Might Just Have The Best View in Sydney

We’ve partnered with Harbourfront Seafood Sydney The Rocks to share our menu and venue highlights from this sensational eatery.

If you were asked to design your dream Sydney dining destination, we doubt you’d be able to trump the offering coming from Harbourfront Seafood Sydney The Rocks. Housed in the historic sandstone of Campbell’s Cove, and boasting sweeping views of the glittering harbour, Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, it’s one of the most enviable views in the city. To top things off Head Chef Saiful Islam is constantly crafting new dishes with the freshest seasonal produce at his disposal.

This winter, the iconic Sydney restaurant is upping the ante with a menu designed to satiate one and all, whether you’re a seafood lover or not.

An Iconic Location

As far as views go, it doesn't get better than this. Whether you choose to dine at Harbourfront for lunch or dinner, the striking sails of the opera house and the full expanse of the Harbour Bridge will be your companions. Bright sun, soft dusk or an inky nighttime backdrop, it’s a view even Sydney locals never tire of. Paired with a wander through The Rocks or a show at the Opera House, you’ve got yourself a day to remember.

More Than Seafood

If you can drag your eyes away from the view long enough to take in the new menu, you’ll discover a dish designed to whet every appetite. You’ll find reinvented classics, including the 150 Lashes battered fish and chips with crushed peas and ‘chip shop’ curry sauce, sitting pretty alongside hearty new additions like the organic chicken breast, complete with squash and truffle mushroom pearl barley risotto, hazelnut crumb and jus.

A saffron glazed slow-roasted cauliflower (drizzled in the most delicious almond miso butter known to man) and La Stella Burrata offer an indulgence for vegetarians while yellowfin tuna carpaccio and Mafalde pasta with spicy ‘nduja and pork ragu will give your taste buds something to remember.

Uniquely Australian ingredients also make a regular appearance throughout, from the Riverine MSA MBS2+ 1.1kg t-bone steak to the finger lime-dressed chargrilled baby octopus.

As for drinks, a curated menu of cocktails, beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages are waiting to be paired with your dish of choice by the always helpful and well-informed staff.

The Best Seat in Sydney

The real clincher, however, isn’t the world-class view or even the delicious menu. It’s the inviting atmosphere that sets it apart from the rest of Sydney's dining elite. When Harbourfront invites you to dine with them, you’re being welcomed into their home with a genuineness that’s rare. That’s the difference here and it’s something money can’t buy. Whether you manage to wrangle the family for one of Harbourfront’s nostalgic Sunday roasts, or you’re celebrating milestones with a group of your best girls and a swathe of share plates, this special restaurant is a gathering place for lively connection. The connection between staff and diners, diners and food and, of course, the connection with the people you choose to share a meal with.

Sydney locals, it’s time to fall in love with our city again in the most wholesome way possible. Do as the tourists do and head to the harbour for a meal to remember. Visit Harbourfront Seafood Sydney The Rocks for more information and to book now.
