Dining inside the sails of the Opera House, celebrating native Australian ingredients. The setting alone is worth the reservation.
Why It Belongs on the List
Set within the dramatic sails of the Sydney Opera House, Bennelong offers an a la carte and counter-dining menu that celebrates Australia's native flavors — WA marron, Hervey Bay scallops, and seasonal produce from small producers. The award-winning restaurant is a once-in-a-visit experience for the combination of architecture, cooking, and harbor atmosphere. Counter seats overlooking the kitchen available for solo diners.
