was invited for a collab and had the cutest girl dinner here! the decor and ambience was really nice, unfortunately we came on a rainy day but usually the view of darling harbour is lovely. our biggest highlight were the entrées: 🌟 foccacia bread 🌟 burrata 🌟 prawn toast (favourite of the night!) this was from their new menu and all presentation was beautifully done - would definitely reccommend for a fine-dining dinner date :)

Really enjoyed their food, decor and stunning harbour views! The grilled octopus was nicely charred and tender, the spatchcock was juicy and cooked to the right doneness and burrata was creamy. The prawn toast was crispy outside and packed with prawns and corn but I prefer the filling to be slightly saltier. The decor inside is classy and enjoying the awesome Darling Harbour view at the balcony is very relaxing. Overall a great spot for both tourists and locals to grab food and drinks while enjoying the view.

Shot one of the most incredible menus here and I’m still thinking about it. Every dish that came out was not only stunning to photograph but actually delivered on flavour too (which isn’t always the case 👀). You can tell there’s real thought behind every plate — textures, colour, balance… it just works. The whole space has that effortless, coastal luxe vibe which makes the experience even better. Safe to say, this is one of those shoots where everything just hit. Would go back in a heartbeat, camera or no camera.

Had a wonderful time on Wednesday night here! Definitely a place on the pricier side, but is definitely a restaurant you should visit, not only for the food, but also the wonderful views! Had a decent selection of tapas that were just lovely. We ordered the focaccia, prawn toast, calamari, octopus, and salmon tartare. I'm not very familiar with Mediterranean food, but Café del Mar does seafood so well that it's definitely left a good impression. Everything we tried was fantastic. The prawn toast was definitely the highlight though. And they have great cocktails! I didn't catch the name of our waitress, but she was very accommodating and proactive about her service (which is always appreciated). If you're prepared to spend a little more for a meal, this is a great place to visit.

Had a great dinner here with my partner and really enjoyed the overall experience. The food was well balanced and thoughtfully put together — we especially liked the crispy squid, burrata and the grilled spatchcock, all cooked nicely and easy to share. The cocktails were a highlight. The Rosemary Collins was fresh and aromatic, and the Chilli Cranberry Paloma had a great balance of citrus and a subtle kick, pairing really well with the food. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, and a lovely spot for a slow, enjoyable evening. Would definitely come back.
