We celebrate my boy friend’s birthday at Bennelong. The location was great - just in opera house (but you need to get in from the ground floor not from the stairs outside). The gentleman at the front desk was super welcoming but it took a while for us to be seated. All the food came really slow and took forever to get the bill in the end. But I guess it’s vivid Sydney time so the kitchen was under quite lot of pressure?
I like the turnip salad, multiple layers of taste and very refreshing but I won’t recommend the xo squid because the fried eggplant has a strong taste that almost took away the focus on the squid. Confit duck with sausage was quite nice - I like the tenderness. Pavlova has a better look than the taste.
Overall a nice restaurant with great location/view and a fair price considering the higher inflation recently.
