Visiting the Art Gallery of NSW is always made more pleasant when you make a booking at the restaurant as opposed to eating at the cafes where you have to line up to order food and hope to get a table amongst the crowds. If you have any involvement at all in the art world you will run into someone... More

Very clean and gleaming with a great outdoor terrace overlooking the gardens. More cafe-like than a restaurant. Like most food places at these sort of attractions the prices seemed a little high but my salad was huge and very tasty. They do provide free daily newspapers for you to read. More

I had fish of the day...sweet, tender and perfectly cooked. My partner's crispy skinned barramundi was pronounced perfect as was his almond cake dessert. The views are spectacular but we equally enjoyed watching the... More

Living just down the road from this fantastic facility gives us regular opportunities to try the ever-changing menu. Try and get a table on the window with views over Sydney Harbour and the old wool stores, now million dollar apartments. Best deal by far is to purchase a set meal with entry ticket to one of the regular traveling shows,... More

The Restaurant inside the Art Gallery of New South Wales is spectacular even before you open the door. It's in a glass corner of the museum with stunning views (see pictures) It's hard to beat a few hours looking at some of the best art in the worl - good contemporary collection as well as work that will be unfamiliar...
