World-Class Views, Exceptional Hospitality, Excellent Food - Worth Every Cent! Still our favourite harbour-side restaurant in Sydney! The Opera House setting is always a showstopper for international guests, but it’s the food and service that make Bennelong truly special. The mains were excellent and lived up to the expectation of a two-hatted restaurant, but the real stars were the snacks, entrée and deserts. The Wagyu bresaola was outstanding, and the XO king prawn congee was inspired - beautifully balanced and full of flavour. The seasonal mango desert was so good, it even outshone the iconic pavlova! A delightful discovery was the availability of a great 2-courses kid's menu. Our six-year-old grandson loved it and finished his plate faster than any one of us. Big shoutout to Jerrod and the rest of the team who looked after us throughout the lunch. Their warm, attentive hospitality keeps us coming back again and again. That's hospitality done right. Bennelong never disappoints!

It was an interesting experience between two 3 course meals. For starters, we had Marron and Dumpling. The dumpling was out of this world in its flavours, while the marron was just a fresh marron and nothing else. Next for mains we picked Steak and Duck. Similar to starters, the Steak was umami and delicious while the Duck had sinew and was served with a side of whole berries? The dessert were fine, though we preferred the Coconut Mango over Pavlova. The starter bread and sides with mains were a good gesture to fill up. Service was good, and while the sinew in breast was brought up and acknowledged, nothing was done. Its a nice place but inconsistency of experience was interesting. Honestly if we both had picked Dumpling, Steak and Mango dessert it would have been 5 stars.

Perfection in a global icon. Food, drink, staff .... all aligned in a way that rarely happens. The food is worthy of the Opera House location - we had the 3 course menu in the restaurant, absolutely stunning food presented in a simple and yet beautiful way. Well educated staff on the wine and all of the service personnel were friendly, helpful and just a pleasure to interact with. We had high expectations and the Bennelong exceeded them. A wonderful experience in our iconic Opera House.

Having a show in the concert hall after our meal they ensured the dinner service timing was perfect to get us there with a few minutes to spare. The 3 courses were executed perfectly. Started off with the berry pie mixed drink which truely tasted like a berry pie. Each course was fairly substantial because it was only a 3 course whoch was nice. I've never had cod with crispy skin like that before, i thought i was eating pork belly crackling and the sauce was perfect. The potatoes were crispy, salty and creamy on the inside. The fat on the pork chop was full of flavor and melted in my mouth. Then finally the berry berry berry dessert was like nothing i had ever eaten. The cream was so rich and the little crystals on the raspberries were a delight to eat. If you can afford it the meal is worth it just know you're paying for quality. One nice aspect is they aren't jumping on the trend of having "chef recommended" add ons. I hate that new trend in fine dining because it boosts the cost by creating fomo and i respect Bennelong for not partaking in that.
