Head chef Justin Wise’s focus here is celebrating the elements of air, land, and sea in a menu that celebrates local farmers and fine Australian wines. Menu highlights include the pork jowl with black pudding and riberries and lamb neck with potato and broad beans. There's a seven-course dessert tasting menu if you prefer to skip dinner, and the specialty dessert bar is so popular that it’s available through Uber Eats, so you can get the flourless chocolate cake with salted caramel wherever you are in the city.

Nola Smokehouse and Bar

$$$ | Darling Harbour

A bit of a hidden gem, to enter this New Orleans--inspired smokehouse you have to come through a door in an alleyway just off Barangaroo waterfront. Take the elevator up two floors and when the doors open you'll be hit by that incredible American barbecue smell. This 270-seat restaurant has water views, around 500 whiskies and a 2½-meter-long open-grill fire pit and a hickory-packed smoker. The atmosphere is buzzy every night of the week.
