Three Of Sydney’s Coolest Outdoor Restaurants

Meet the Northern Beaches’ stunning version of a playground for adults. Set on the breathtaking shores of Pittswater, The Newport pulls no punches, offering everything you can think of: an enticing lineup of food and drinks, a vintage gymnasium, and even giant-sized games areas. Lovers of fun and excitement – pack your bags; it’s time to make The Newport your second home. This electric spot is amongst Sydney’s finest.

Inspired by world-famous resorts the likes of the Hamptons and Montauk, this picturesque Merivale venue is designed to entertain – and it delivers. The Newport is perpetually humming with life, and armed with gardens and outdoor dining spaces and bars, is arguably amongst the best places you can find to fill your summer days.

Looking for Sydney’s most impressive bar will likely lead you to the Opera Bar because let’s face it: it’s tough to compete with the allure of an open bar set right next to the Harbour on the forecourt of the iconic Opera House. With a view of the Bridge and Circular Quay that awes even the most seasoned locals, Opera Bar is the equivalent of a toast to the city we love.

The food at Opera Bar is top notch and features a mix of evolving new pop ups, like the Japanese sushi and sake bar, and much loved icons, like the slow-roast lamb shoulder – plus a comprehensive Australian wine list.

Taking a mini holiday in your own city has never been easier, and there’s no better way to do so than at an outdoor venue decked to the nines. The Opera Bar is impressive in every aspect and beckons you to let your hair down and enjoy the finer things in life.

Bather’s Pavilion has been a long-standing icon in Balmoral for years. A gem of the North Shore, Sunday lunch out on the Louis Terrace remains somewhat of a hidden gem – but it’s the waterfront warm-weather experience you never knew you needed.

Inspired by sprawling Mediterranean seaside resorts, the Terrace is outfitted in coastal blue and white stripes with warm wooden detailing. The result? One of the best vibes in town. Enjoy one of the city’s most spectacular champagne bars in style, and pair it with some heartwarmingly authentic Thai cuisine to seal the deal. This plant-dotted venue with a panoramic view of one of Sydney’s most beautiful beaches is the luxe haven of your dreams; time to call everyone you know.
