Quay Restaurant, Sydney

Perfect company, lovely ambience, superb food and excellent harbour views.
It was J's birthday and there was no better way to celebrate a special day than this.

The tasting menu was the way to go and J had his with wine pairing.

The food was exceptional.
It certainly was a wonderful and memorable dining experience we had
at Australia's most awarded restaurant, Quay.

 

Taking in the views. Sydney's Harbour Bridge on my left 

and a magnificent view of the Opera House in front of me.
