PHOTO: SYDNEY HARBOR & CIRCULAR QUAY. "THE ROCKS" AREA IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PICTURE, ONLY A THREE TO FIVE MINUTE WALK FROM THE FERRY TERMINAL. This is a special place to take your spouse or date. The outdoor seating is behind the restaurant, a converted old house, and up against the cliff wall. The music is pleasant, the tables are intimate with large umbrallas and comfortable chairs, and the service is very friendly. They also leave you alone when you are eating or talking and only intrude when needed, a A good mix.

All of the dishes we tried were delicious but the pasta primavera and the mixed green salad were out of this world.

The Rocks and Circular Quay Restaurants - Sydney

This little place is beautiful! We went at night and the atmosphere was so romantic. We where looking out at an amazing view of Sydney harbour, I couldnt have asked for a more pleasant place to dine. The food was beautiful and the service was refreshingling good. Overall it was one of the best places I have been whilst in Sydney. If you have a walk around the piers there is some interesting historical bits and pieces to read and look at.... Its a nice way to finish the night.

I would reccomend the Ossobucco it was mouthwatering. My dad used to make this dish for me all the time and it was one of my favourites...... well after having it at Firefly I am not sure if my Dad was making it properly because it doesn't even come close to being as good.

Want to feel extraordinary in an extraordinary setting? Dine here! The Vodka Martini was served chilled and sprite. The food from the entree, main meal and dessert was presented magnificently and the taste was a pleasure. The ambience - sitting under the canopy of steel draping the exterior effortlessly - absorbing the energy from the vibrant Opera House architecture

Entree - Jerusalem artichokes with Queensland scallops simply out of the ordinary Main - Fresh Barramundi presentation AND flavour obviously painstaking Dessert - Passion fruit soufflé with passion fruit sorbet - yummy

Tea shop doesn't do this place justice - menu was excellent - choice of many different dishes you can't find elsewhere. Big pots of tea, wonderful smoothies and very quaint!

Banana porridge with stewed plums and maple syrup - also came with cream - heavenly.

Only place in Sydney to get a good arm workout whilst getting drunk. 5th rep, still feeling strong. This German restaurant and bar is nestle within the heart of Sydeny's famous Rocks district. It was many area from outdoor beer court to the private function rooms. This was one of the most liveliest places to be during the Soccer World Cup. But you don't ahve to want that long for the fun and excitmetn of down copious amounts of beers.

MOst of the meals are authentic German food. But what really sets it apart is the variety of beers and shnapps they offer.

Sydney by Night

We had dinner one night at the Orient Hotel at The Rocks... The food was good, the restaurant area was nice and the staff were friendly. It's obviously a very popular pub because later in the night it was quite full and the restaurant was always packed.

Sydney Harbour Bridge from The
Rocks

We had dinner one night at the Pancakes on the Rocks restaurant...the food was okay but nothing too special... I enjoyed the place because of the people I was with but otherwise I guess it wasn't overly inviting. However, that said, there was a HUGE line up all night long so it's obviously a very popular place...

I had the "Farm Brunch" crepe then a nice chocolate/walnut/banana pancakes dish...both were okay...

Buy a pitcher of VB, and go out the back where you buy your own food from the butcher, and use one of the grills in the garden. Steaks are recommended!

Steak. Big, and tasty!
