Best & Cool Bars in Cockatoo Island

"A firm Sydney lunch favourite since opening, The Grounds of Alexandria has gone from strength to strength. This destination restaurant and café has a paddock-to-plate approach, and will have you munching down on the likes of buttermilk pancakes, Turkish-style eggs and toasted crumpets, or tempting you with the hearty Brekkie Burger served with a side of polenta chips. There is also a bakery churning out all kinds of delicious breads, muffins, cakes and tarts."

"One of the best Italian restaurants in Sydney is offering up a whole heap of their menu highlights for pre-order and pickup, much to the fortune of Potts Point locals, and much to the envy of everyone else. And yes, that includes their mind-blowing pasta scampi, as well as their fried calamari, and even the pretzel with whipped roe from sister restaurant 10 William St. order.hungryhungry.com"

"This sophisticated Italian trattoria on a tranquil Potts Point side street has a simple dark interior with tan leather booths, walnut paneling, and retro lighting. Tables spill out onto the sunny pavement and a blackboard on the wall denotes the specials of the day. The restaurant opens at 7 A.M daily, so kick off with coffee and housemade pastries before moving on to a larger meal."

"Café Sydney’s rooftop position, chic interiors and sweeping harbour views make this an essential dining spot, especially during Vivid. Unlike the other venues, Café Sydney sits atop the popular Vivid projection at heritage-listed Customs House, so diners are right at the heart of the action. Book a seat on the balcony so you can enjoy the sunset and watch the lights turn on."

"I have had many a long lunch on the balcony at Cafe Sydney, which feels very much like sitting in the dress circle of Sydney Harbour. If you would like to be seated on the terrace, you really need to make a reservation. I find the serving sizes are more generous here than at the previous restaurants, so if you have a hearty appetite, you might be happier here."

"This sprawling restaurant offers sweeping views of the harbor. The décor is modern yet warm and allows the scenery to be the star of the show. Obviously, sunset is the best time to..."

"The conceptual dining scene that’s taken over Sydney’s historic Tramsheds could have been easily lost within the city’s obsession with adaptive reuse food precincts. That is, if it wasn’t for two venues. The first is meat-loving Butcher and the Farmer, and the second is this masterstroke, Osaka Trading Co."

"Owner chef Kazu and his wife Mari are the characters, it’s very warm and cosy. Owner chef Kazu is skilled and experienced but not only that, he has a passion to find the very best ingredients for customers. His sushi omakase is from $85."

"It was during a residency at Earl’s Juke Joint that Nigerian-born owner Ade Adeniyi realised finding his own space was something worth investigating. And now we have what is Sydney’s first full-time Nigerian restaurant on Enmore Road. Adeniyi and his chefs are serving substantial, supremely tasty dishes like nothing else you’ll find in Sydney."

"While we can’t travel, that doesn’t mean we can’t explore different cuisines. Little Lagos dishes up West African cuisine, and you can get it delivered to your home. Order dishes such as jollof rice, goat stew, egusi, and fried plantains."

"Look no further than Bar Luca; a casual, experimental burger joint in Sydney’s city centre. Famous for their rainbow buns, BL run weekly burger specials with out there ingredients. Past burgers have included everything from triple-cheese fried patties to peanut butter."

"With great emphasis on a dark, calming atmosphere, The Darling Spa – buried beneath The Star’s high-end hotel – is a no-brainer for those looking for Sydney’s best men’s spa treatments. And the menu is packed with variety too, from hot rocks massages to a $240 marri marli facial and back treatment formulated especially for men. Many of the treatments here are defined by Li’tya indigenous spa rituals, worked up in collaboration with indigenous elders using pure Australian botanicals, extracts, and essences."

"The name says it all: this is the darling of Sydney’s spa-land, and with good reason: The Spa takes up an entire floor of The Darling, and like the rest of the hotel it’s uber- uber-stylish. The dim lights, plush couches and sleek, dark timber furnishings create a space intimate and luxe enough to feel like you’ve climbed into honeycomb-infused chocolate – and it’s at least as delicious inside. The Spa at The Darling"

"At the top of their game, The Darling Spa is a must for the passionate hedonist. One of our go-to's for the best day spa in Sydney, you may have a hard time deciding which treatment to indulge in, but the Moroccan Hammam chamber or an invigorating session on the Kinesis wall is hard to go past. Couples are also catered for in their luxurious suites, and they're currently only open on weekends."

"Services provided:Facial treatments, massages, hand and foot services, spa packages, hammam, and more. Price range:$AUD 95 - $AUD 595. Check out Chi the Spa here"

"There are three restaurants that deserve a mention for their dedication both to fine food and incredible views for visitors. Sydney Tower Buffet, 360 bar and dining and O bar and dining all take this commitment to the next level – literally – by offering visitors 360 degrees of Sydney vistas in their revolving restaurants. These three restaurants create a visual feast of the many iconic locations and structures all over the city that’s as delicious as the meals served in front of you."

"It is buffet-style dining with 360-degree revolving views of the city below, so no matter where you sit, the sight of Sydney is breathtaking. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner so you can admire the city by day and see the city lights by night while choosing from more than 60 dishes, including Vietnamese, Australian, Italian, and Japanese cuisine. The buffet also offers a large selection of fresh local seafood."

"What better place to enjoy brilliant views than a revolving restaurant?!. Make the most of 360 degree views across Sydney day and night at the Sydney Tower Buffet, one rotation of the restaurant takes around 80 minutes. Dine 310 metres above ground with stunning views of the city, Sydney Harbour and beyond."

"Best for: A healthy, customisable breakfast buffet in a stunning CBD location. When Luke Mangan is serving breakfast, we know to expect a lot, and Glass Brasserie at the Sydney Hilton doesn't disappoint. Fluffy hash browns, melt-in-your-mouth croissants and eggs whichever way you like them are highlights among a solid spread."

"This upscale wine bar features modern décor such as floor to ceiling glass windows and open dining and kitchen areas that allow customers to feel and see Sydney while eating or enj..."
