Quay, Fine dining restaurant in The Rocks district, Sydney, Australia
Quay is a fine dining restaurant on the upper floor of the Overseas Passenger Terminal in The Rocks, Sydney. The dining room sits directly above the water, with large windows facing Sydney Harbour, the Opera House, and the Harbour Bridge.
The restaurant opened in 2001 inside a terminal building that was originally built to receive ocean liner passengers arriving in Sydney. Over the following years, it earned a place among Australia's most recognized dining destinations.
Chef Peter Gilmore creates dishes that highlight Australian ingredients, incorporating native produce and local seasonal elements into the multi-course tasting menus.
The entrance is through the Overseas Passenger Terminal building, and an elevator takes you to the upper dining floor. Booking well in advance is strongly recommended, as tables fill up quickly.
Each table has its own lighting control, so diners can adjust the brightness to their liking without affecting the rest of the room. This small detail reflects how carefully every part of the experience has been thought through.
