The rooftop restaurants in Sydney on the map
Good to know
Every rooftop in this selection has a proper restaurant, so you can sit down for lunch or dinner rather than just a drink. Menus, service style and opening hours vary widely, and the kitchen often closes earlier than the bar. Booking ahead is wise, especially in the evening and at weekends; if you want to eat outside, ask for a terrace table when you book, as it is not always guaranteed. In rain or strong wind, some venues move service indoors or close the open-air area altogether. Before you go, check the official website for opening days, any dress code and step-free access.
