As the festive season descends upon Sydney, it’s time to embrace the culinary experiences that will make your holiday celebrations unforgettable.
With a plethora of dining options that would make even Santa envious, you better start planning your indulgences now (and perhaps loosen your belt a notch for good measure).
First on the list is the Shell House Chef’s Table Experience—a dining adventure that’s as exclusive as it sounds. With just one sitting per night for two lucky diners, at a mere $165 per person, you’ll be nestled at the kitchen pass, ensconced in the culinary theatrics of an open kitchen. As you’re whisked away on a five-course journey through the finest Australian produce, don’t forget about the paired beverage option, because what’s a meal without perfectly matched drinks? And for that one person who seems to have everything (we all know one), a Chef’s Table experience gift card might just do the trick. Book Shell House here.
Aria has us spoiled for choice with their refreshed set menus tailored for those who believe that less is more (and more often)! You can now sample a two-course lunch or pre-theatre meal at $120, or indulge in their sumptuous three, five, or eight-course tasting menus, for those inclined to go all out. With dining hours extended for a leisurely lunch and elegant dinners, it’s basically an open invitation to add some sparkle to your festive gatherings while feeling just a tad indulgent.

And don’t even get me started on Sky Bar’s Golden Hours. Picture this: oysters for $2, $15 Margaritas, and $15 Prawn Katsu Sandos. The best part? It’s available from 4-6pm, Tuesday to Saturday. It’s heaven in a time slot and could very well be the best way to enjoy Sydney’s balmy summer sunsets. Book Sky Bar available here (walk-ins are always welcome).
So there you have it. Sydney’s dining scene is dressed to impress this November and December, ready to turn your festive season into a culinary carnival. Book your seat, raise a glass, and let the good times roll.
