Perched above the Overseas Passenger Terminal with the Opera House and bridge framed in the windows, Quay is Sydney special-occasion restaurant, the place couples book months ahead for anniversaries. Chef Peter Gilmore builds intricate, nature-inspired tasting menus, and the legendary snow egg dessert has a following all its own. The view alone justifies the price. Book well in advance and request a window table, and give yourself the whole evening as the degustation is a leisurely affair.
