BENNELONG
Bennelong Restaurant and Bar is a celebration of the Sydney Opera House itself, where the drama of the architecture meets the artistry of the plate. Under the direction of Head Chef Rob Cockerill, the menu captures the essence of contemporary Australian dining, defined by a sense of place, season and story. Each dish is an elegant expression of craftsmanship, creativity and the country’s finest produce.
