Quay (Sydney)

To celebrate my partner’s birthday, we treated ourselves for dinner at the Quay Restaurant. The view from the restaurant was fantastic, as was the attentive service.

We went for the tasting menu and the night went through some highs and lows. The slow cooked pork belly in broth and the Angus beef were excellent, while the XO (sauce) sea dish was a bit too strong. The reputed snow egg dessert would have been an excellent note to finish the meal, but the jersey cream that followed was just too rich.

Quay (Sydney)

A lunch booking 2 months in advance shows the popularity of this restaurant by the Sydney harbour. The flawless lunch service was supported by the attentive staff. All dishes came in their beautiful presentation – a distraction from view of Sydney Opera House right in front of us.

Desserts were the anticipated event due to the much celebrated Snow Egg. While impressed by the Snow Egg’s lightness and delicacy, I prefer the 8 Texture Chocolate Cake which was deceptively complex from the outside. Rich, light, sweet, bitter – you can have it all in the cake.
