Hovering above one of the more populated-strips of Sydney Harbor, this cutting edge dining room built on sustainable and humane cuisine offers more than just a stunning location and one-of-a-kind view of the Sydney Harbor. Divided between a more casual lounge arranged in striking club chairs with glassy bar and more formal dining room, Quay is one of Sydney’s top eateries for locals and visitors alike. The main dining room is arranged in tables with freshly-pressed white linens and impeccably trained staff in custom uniforms working the pitched-roof circular dining room with its floor to ceiling glass windows and striking architectural details with head-on views of the famed-Opera House.
The Food
Rare produce such as Chinese artichokes, tiny purple onions, native violets, white carrots, white borage, blossoms of carrot, rosemary and pea and white broad bean are some of the few amazing creations found in the rotating seasonal menu, derived from rare seeds collected and planted at the farm itself. The menu is divided between a four-course menu or the Tasting menu consisting of six tasting plates with the option of matching wines. The menu also features ethically grown rare breeds of pig, lamb and chicken whose species are sustained by its very consumption means guilt-free dishes of pork belly, braised green-lipped abalone, cuttlefish and vegetarian-favored handmade tofu.
Last Word
Quay features cuisine derived from sustainable foods grown at their organic farm in the Blue Mountains where chef Peter Gilmore works with local farmers to unique harvests of rare produce especially for the restaurant.
