Waterfront Restaurant

Waterfront, Circular Quay, Modern Australian


27 Circular Quay W, The Rocks



A close friend had her twenty-first birthday at Waterfront and we had the Group Choice menu. Waterfront is a modern Australian restaurant with a focus on seafood. Located in the main dining district of the Rocks, Waterfront has fabulous views and a really great atmosphere.



Most of our group chose the smoked salmon with avocado salsa, red onion, baby capers and toast or the salt & pepper tossed queensland prawns.



I absolutely loved the smoked salmon but I did find the prawns a bit too salty for my taste.















For mains I had the chargrilled 300g sirloin served with potato gratin. My steak was perfectly cooked however I tried another friend's steak and their steak was chewy and very tough. I think the steaks were a bit hit and miss. The potato was really nice though.






The pan roasted barramundi fillet with roast fennel, tomato broth and parmesan crisp was quite nice.










The servings were a good size and didnt leave you hungry but the dishes were quite salty. All in all, it was a nice occasion and what lacked in the food was made up by the view.

Arisun, Haymarket, Korean

Arisun,
1 Dixon St Haymarket

KFC, or Korean Fried Chicken, is delicious korean-spiced deep fried chicken. If you ever want KFC- there is only one place to go and there is only one thing to order. That is at Arisun and with the soy sauce deep fried chicken.








Its honey sweet, crunchy and absolutely delicious. I recommend that you go with a few friends as the serving is quite big and can feed 3-4 as an entree.
