Restaurants Near Circular Quay

Circular Quay is where Sydney arrives: the ferries, the Opera House steps, the queue for the Harbour Bridge photo. Fifteen minutes west, the noise drops away. Walk through The Rocks and down Hickson Road and you are on Pier 8/9 at Walsh Bay, with the harbour on three sides and a charcoal grill in view of the pass. Elements Bar and Grill Walsh Bay is also a short walk from Barangaroo Metro station, so it is as easy to reach by train as it is on foot from the Quay.
