Bar Morris at Hotel Morris

Just moments from Sydney’s bustling Haymarket, Bar Morris is a bit of a hidden gem. The hotel and bar are inspired by Dante’s inferno and boasts a glam red Art Deco theme throughout. It feels cosy without being homely and delivers an all-round buzzy atmosphere. But the food is the real clincher. Southern Italian chef Rosy Scatigna brings zest to the menu with a tight curation of seasonal dishes.

Sydney Common at Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park

Sydney Common is serving views out over Hyde Park paired with a menu packed with some of Australia’s best producers and we couldn’t want anything more from an elevated meal out. You can look forward to Baker Bleu bread, LPs Quality Meats charcuterie and beef from Vic’s Meat woven throughout Sydney Common’s seasonal menus as well as woodfire-grilled mains and drinks menu boasting a little bit of everything, including a wide selection of premium wines by the glass. Perfecto!
