Dine in style
Some restaurants offer delightful dishes. But the best makes dining an event. Where the journey is just as indulgent as what’s on the table. Flavours you’ve never experienced. Harmonies of colour, texture, aroma – all your senses feasting at once. Every course arriving with the level of service you deserve.
Right across Australia, these are the rare places that leave you satisfied long after the last glass is poured. Don’t forget to bring your MyCard along, where you could unlock more from your special night out by earning points from your meal.
1. Quay – Sydney, NSW
The unparalleled Sydney Harbour glistens through curved glass while Peter Gilmore reimagines nature on a plate. At Quay, there’s elegance in the pacing, a slow degustation that encourages savouring of both view and taste. Settle in, take a beat, and soak up the beauty.
2. Vue de Monde – Melbourne, VIC
A dining room in the clouds. From your table, Melbourne stretches in every direction like a glittering canvas. It’s no wonder Vue de Monde translates to ‘view of the world’, with this French-named icon serving local Australian produce like you’ve never seen, or tasted, before.
3. Restaurant Botanic – Adelaide, SA
Nestled amongst the trees of the city’s Botanic Gardens, Restaurant Botanic turns native and local ingredients into a sensory journey. Justin James collaborates with gardeners to craft an almost 30-course degustation filled with delicate bites and unexpected rarities, each dish an echo of the lush setting just outside.
4. Agnes – Brisbane, QLD
At Agnes, everything is touched by flame. Charred sourdough soaks up smoked cultured butter, wood-roasted lamb falls apart in its juices. Shadows flicker against brick walls and the air carries a smoky musk that lingers like part of the seasoning. Tables here are few, but always worth the wait.
5. Attica – Melbourne, VIC
Ben Shewry’s menu is a journey through Australia’s wild landscapes, telling tales of land, sea and the people who live from them. Enjoy ingredients foraged that morning, dishes designed to surprise, and an intimacy that makes every table feel like the best seat in the house.
6. Fico – Hobart, TAS
Part bistro, part fine dining, and entirely unexpected. Fico’s European-inflected menu changes along with the season – truffles in winter, just-caught seafood in summer. A celebration of Tasmania’s famous produce, this is the kind of venue where you want to say ‘yes’ to trying everything.
7. Muse Restaurant – Hunter Valley, NSW
In the heart of the Hunter Valley, Troy Rhoades-Brown’s Muse offers refined regional dining framed by vineyard views. Soft light and quiet energy let the menu take the spotlight, from delicate entrées to beautifully composed desserts. And obviously, the wine is sensational.
8. Pee Wee’s at the Point – Darwin, NT
Balmy evenings on the terrace, a cool ocean breeze, and the kind of sunset you can get lost in. Overlooking Fannie Bay, this Northern Territory institution blends fine dining with a deep sense of place. In the NT, local produce means barramundi, crocodile and native greens, elevated into elegant, modern dishes.
9. Pilot – Canberra, ACT
Proof that size is no measure of ambition, Canberra’s top-scoring dining jewel pairs Australian ingredients with global influence. There’s a lightness to the menu, without pretence, but the execution is nothing but precise. Add the drink pairings for another layer of delight.
10. Wildflower – Perth, WA
Above COMO The Treasury, the six seasons of the Noongar calendar shape Wildflower’s menu. Native herbs, coastal seafood, and bush honey become edible portraits of place. This is Perth dining at its most graceful, recently honoured with three Chef Hats.
