Our daughter arranged for my husband and I to have dinner at Cafe Opera as a treat for us. We had the exquisite buffet which was just superb. There was an abundance of seafood including fresh prawns and oysters, carvery, a range of salads, a variety of bread rolls and desserts to die for. We were very well looked after... More

We choose to stay at The Intercontinental Hotel at least twice a year when we visit Sydney. The highlight of our stay has always been the seafood buffet at Cafe Opera. Alas, not this year! The Alaskan Crab claws have disappeared, only to be replaced by the once frozen Spanner Crabs, which were almost tasteless. The Balmain Bugs had also... More

We have visited for dinner on a few occasions, and the highlight has always been the fresh seafood (prawns, lobster, oysters), which has always been very fresh and delicious. There was also a good selection of warm meals, including... More

We dined here on a Friday night, as we were staying at the hotel (Intercontinental). The photos on the hotel website are somewhat deceptive as they make the restaurant look pretty good, but we thought that it was more like being in a cafeteria. Tables were very close together and too large, given that two of us were seated opposite... More
