Had a center view from the balcony at Cafe Sydney, what an experience. And for anyone who's vegan, they also have a completely separate plant based menu which has loads of options, we tried all 3 of the small vegan entrees which were exceptional

I am not a lover of things that crawl about or live in coastal ocean floors, but the birthday girl certainly is. I chose the Soufle entre and the Duck fat potatoes and more. In a word, "Superb!" We took some more photos of us at CS and t
Great view but….
Lovely view, food was ok but the service to start was very poor. The maître d was officious, unpleasant and self important. He clearly forgot he was in a service industry and unfortunately soured our time there. The rest of the waiting staff we

Best Dinner in Sydney
Cafe Sydney has it all! Breathtaking views, delicious food & drink and delightful wait staff. It was our favorite restaurant of our 10 nights in Sydney . We had mutton bugs and naan for appetizers, Barimundi and salmon for entrees along with brus
An indulgent must-do
The view and the ambience are second to none. Highly recommend sitting outside so you can see the Harbour Bridge, etc and after sunset Luna Park lights up beautifully. The food and wine selections were also excellent, Also highly recommend a pre-din
Unbelievable experience!
This was our most favorite experience in all of Sydney. It sits atop the Customs House and if you get a seat on the terrace, it provides glorious views of the harbor bridge and some of the Opera House depending on where you sit. If you’re facing t

This has to be my favourite restaurant, that I have ever visited. in the world. During our holidays to Sydney, visiting Cafe Sydney is a must. Wonderful setting, stunning view, faultless service, beautiful meals which are absolutely delicious. Amazi

Our main waiter Zac was brilliant! Zac engaged with us throughout the nearly 3hrs my partner & I were at your venue, Zac kept his communication professional, his contact with us prompt, however, did not smother us, Zac explained wines & meals
The service was prompt and efficient.

Thankyou Cafe Sydney ! Amazing evening with amazing food and staff!
This was my third time going to Cafe Sydney and it did not disappoint. Recently I had been diagnosed with a gut condition, where my doctor had put me on a very strict diet. I reached out to the resturant to see if they could accommodate and they went
Beautiful view
We really enjoyed our dinner at Sydney Cafe! This is a great date night spot with efficient service and good food (my favorite was the potato gnocchi for dinner and the lemon cheesecake for dessert). The dining room is quite busy and loud, but conver
A lovely Saturday afternoon
Dined with friends. The octopus was delicious, Berkshire pork was fantastic. My friends had swordfish was a winner, and my publicist had beef tartar. & apple treacle cake both were exceptional. The downfall was the cheesecake, the presentation
Perfect for a long lunch
Perfect venue to celebrate something special. The food is fresh, wine list extensive and the terrace has to be the best place in Sydney to spend a long lunch!

Cafe Sydney was definately one of my finest dining experiences in Sydney. We stopped by for lunch, and it was fabulous! Service was impeccable, the view of the harbor incredible, the drinks/wine menu extensive, and the food imaginative and delicious
Extremely Disappointing
We visited Cafe Sydney with friends who were visiting from USA. The view was stunning but the food and service were disappointing. The entrees were excellent especially the soufflé. Three of us ordered the pork belly. On being served my two pieces

Sydney restaurants
The food is good. However the management treat you like a second class citizen. As a guest you treated with an arrogance of “ you are lucky to be here”. Most restaurants in Sydney I’m sure will treat you more like a human being.
First class in every way
Having toured around Perth, Noosa, Brisbane & Melbourne this was our stand out best dinner. Leami reminded us what service is all about. Great service is really hard to find but Leami looked after us perfectly which added hugely to the experien

Spectacular view, nice food, good with food intolerances

Fantastic dining experience in Sydney
Had an amazing time here. Cannot fault anyone or anything, everyone knows what they are doing and they all do it extremely well. If you want a special dining experience with great food, service and views this is it!!
Exceptional Birthday Dinner
My first experience at Cafe Sydney after hearing incredible reviews so booked this months out for a birthday. Café Sydney did not disappoint with fantastic service, incredibly good food and a great view. I would highly recommend anyone to experience
Cafe Sydney two star at best
Over the years I go to cafe sydney once a year and over the last five years it has deteriorated into what the name says “a cafe” it has a great location but food and feel to the restaurant is exceptionally poor and a waste of money. The Bloody Ma
Very disappointing - not what it used to be
Sad to see an “icon” / great Sydney restaurant gone. Booked for a birthday dinner months ahead for family visiting from overseas. We were placed next to the toilets! The once great restaurant feels and looks like a canteen with a view filled wi
Overpriced and underwhelming
Booked well in advance. Received worst table . The staff have the sleep sorted though advising you have to book not one month in advance but at least 3 to ensure a good table! Food was served cold. Kingfish entree served thickly cut not finely sliced
Great service and view
The view is epic and the service is great but I have been visiting this restaurant for over 7 years and the food has progressively got more bland. It’s not bad just not as good as it used to be. Would try and book in advance and if weather is goo
good
Good spot and beautiful view and outlook. The food is good but vegetarian options limited. Could be better for that. More options please
Fabulous food and views
Lucky enough to get a last minute booking during our trip from the UK and were fortunate enough to get a table at the front of the terrace with stunning views towards the Harbour Bridge. The food was amazing and service fantastic. Highly recommend.
Views!
Great views of the harbour! Decent menu, food was good. Not cheap, but we didn't expect it to be. Service was fine. Very hopping!
Always great! Thank you for the superb food, service and
Always great! Thank you for the superb food, service and atmosphere. Our UK family absolute loved the evening. Thank you
My favorite restaurant in Sydney.
Charming service, killer bridge views from the terrace, great food and drinks. Not inexpensive but not overpriced for what you get. Loud inside, I absolutely recommend eating on the terrace. Make reservations well in advance.

So it was later in the evening(9:25pm) and not many places were open but we found them to be open until 11pm. We asked if we could order food and the bartender said yes if we ordered immediately. She was annoyed that we walked up for service. Mind yo
4.5/5 - Delicious, just missed in a few areas
It was a lovely lunch and although we chose to sit away from the window/terrace as such a hot day it was still a nice view. Food was delicious. Service also good although felt a little disingenuous sometimes, friendly but a little ‘here we go agai
It is how you imagined.
What a superb experience this was. It doesn't market itself very aggressively at all - you have to look for it. It's in the perfect location. When you imagine your view of Sydney harbour well, this is it! From the bustle of Circular Quay, ascend in

The best service I have ever received anywhere in the world! the food was excellent and beautiful views of the Sydney harbor and bridge.
Once again we had a wonderful time.
The food and wine were great, a fabulous venue with great views but it is the wonderful professionalism of the team that make it such a great experience. A special shout out to Matt who was absolutely fantastic.
Not my best meal or restaurant experience.
Basically, you should expect to be served your meal as the Chef likes it. I asked for my main entre to be cooked medium; it was not medium based on my opinion and taste. I sent my meal back for more heat, and what came back was a new entre unde
Phenomenal
Food, presentation, service & ambience - seldom does a restaurant excel in all four, but Cafe Sydney does. This is that rare restaurant where 5 Stars just isn’t enough. We dined on the patio overlooking the harbour. Service was excellent. Fro
This timed seating ridiculousness has to end.
The pandemic is over so there's no excuse any more. Been told, politely, that if we wanted desert we would have to eat it in the lounge less then 2hrs into our meal is unacceptable. Food and ambience is still amazing, service is still good but the
Amazing food and equally amazing staff!
We had a splendid evening at Café Sydney. Food was delicious with lots of taste and interesting flavor combinations. The sommelier advised us a great wine. But what struck us on top of all this, was the thoughtfulness of the staff. Next to us was a

Connect with users posting reservations for Cafe Sydney
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Cafe Sydney. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Cafe Sydney at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Cafe Sydney page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at Cafe Sydney to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Cafe Sydney!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
