"The soaring and gorgeous Bennelong Restaurant at the Sydney Opera House has four options for dining and drinking: the restaurant, the bar, the cured and cultured section, and the chef's table in the kitchen. Bennelong Bar is perfect for a pre- or post-theater seasonal cocktail or glass of fancy Champagne. At the restaurant, you'll need a reservation, but for the bar, you can just walk in and enjoy the jaw-dropping views of Sydney Harbor while sipping bubbly and sampling some Sydney rock oysters. The space is dotted with couples celebrating anniversaries, birthdays and special occasions; after all, this is an elegant place—so be sure to dress your best." - Sophie Davies
