Aria 1 Macquarie Street, Sydney CBDĬonsistently recognised as one of the best restaurants in Sydney and first opened back in 1999, Aria has pride of place on the eastern corner of Circular Quay. The menu here spans the Mediterranean so there's a significant focus on seafood, with standouts like crumpets with poached spanner crab, caviar-topped fried quail, vibrant fruits de mer platters, and whole market fish. Martinez Quay Quarter Tower, 50 Bridge Street, Sydney CBDĪ slice of the South of France in the heart of Sydney, Martinez boasts a sizable open-air terrace bar with Harbour Bridge views and a pretty dining room splashed with pink decor and lush indoor plants. These are Urban List's recommendations for the best Circular Quay restaurants right now.
But it's also one of the most beautiful parts of Sydney/Eora, and home to world-class restaurants to match. Circular Quay is a place people often pass through-onto the ferry or train (from one of the world's most scenic stations) after work, into the Sydney Opera House, or over the Harbour Bridge bound elsewhere.
