This is a distinctly Australian dining experience with world-class food and vistas of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, located on Sydney Harbour's waterfront.

Then, before embarking on a guided tour of the night sky, eat a lunch inspired by natural Australian delicacies.
WILDFLOWER - Perth, Western Australia
Wildflower restaurant in Perth focuses on a seasonal theme that results in exceptional meals.

FARO - Hobart, Tasmania
Faro, a light-drenched bar and restaurant dangling over the River Derwent in Hobart, is located inside the interesting MONA museum. The restaurant offers a great blend of fine dining, music, and live entertainment, and, like the museum it is situated in, keeps things fresh with a new theme every three months. Expect the unexpected from Faro, who will serve Spanish-style tapas one month and velvety pasta the next.
RICK SHORES - Gold Coast, Queensland
Rick Shores shows you what dining in Australia is all about on the Gold Coast. Pan-Asian flavours, a breezy ambience, and floor-to-ceiling views of the ocean combine for a lunch that is as much about the setting as it is about the food. Before continuing on to their menu of robust meats and curries, start with bar snacks like crispy tofu sliders and baked butter chicken buns.
BRAE - Victoria
Brae's ingredients are carefully selected each day from Brae Farm's own harvest of organic fruit and vegetables, as well as from local farmers and sustainable suppliers in Victoria and abroad. Brae's garden-based cuisine has earned them numerous honours, putting Birregurra - a small Victorian hamlet in the Great Ocean Road region - on the culinary map. Brae has been recognised by The Australian Good Food Guide for its superb wine list, as if the wonderful cuisine weren't enough.
OTTO - Brisbane, Queensland
Riverside views, dazzling glassware, and friendly service are just a few of the features that make OTTO Brisbane attractive. This contemporary Italian restaurant overlooks the Brisbane River and the renowned Story Bridge, and serves superb Australian food in a contemporary Italian flair. OTTO offers a comprehensive wine list in addition to superb meals. Several quality Australian and Italian wines are offered as a taste or full glass thanks to the Coravin system, which allows little amounts of wine to be taken from a bottle without oxygenating it.
