Dining at Bennelong means eating inside the Sydney Opera House itself, beneath those soaring white sails. Peter Gilmore leads the kitchen here too, celebrating Australian produce with dishes like the much-loved Sydney rock oysters and a dramatic dessert modelled on the building. There is a more relaxed bar upstairs if the full menu feels like a lot. Book the pre or post-theatre sitting if you have tickets, and arrive early for a glass of something sparkling looking out over Circular Quay.
