Hello there! With so many good restaurants in Sydney, choosing a place to eat can be quite overwhelming , so here are my recommendations for all types of budget. 
Just a piece of advice: for many restaurants, reservations are highly recommended or even mandatory, so plan accordingly and, if possible, try to book in advance.
Better safe than sorry (and hungry) . 
Thank you and enjoy!

The Rocks, Sydney | A Local's Guide 

A walking tour of Pubs in the historic Rocks district of Sydney, the birth place of modern Australia. Nestled in the shadows of the Sydney Harbour bridge, you'll find some of the most historic and lively pubs in the city.

Somewhere to eat
All the pubs in this guide offer food ranging from steaks, fish and chips, burgers, pizzas etc. Check out the menus on their websites. If you'd like to eat somewhere else, I've added a few suggestions at the end of the guide.

Getting there
The Rocks is on the western side of Circular quay on Sydney Harbour. It's a short walk from many of the major hotels and right behind the main cruise ship terminal. If traveling via public transport, it's next to the Circular Quay Train Station (T2, T3, T8 lines), the Circular Quay Light Rail Station (L2, L3 lines) and the Circular Quay ferry wharfs.

3 Amazing Days in Sydney

The Glenmore Hotel

The Glenmore probably has the best rooftop bar of all the pubs in The Rocks with views of the Opera House and harbour (but the view can be obscured when there is a cruise ship docked). The pub was built in 1921 and has a number of different bar and dining areas.

Highlights include:
- Harbour views from the rooftop terrace
- Additional outdoor seating at the front.

A great spot to sit, drink, and enjoy the atmosphere! The Glenmore Hotel provides stunning harbour views for you to enjoy with a drink. If you’re in the mood you can also grab a bite to eat, their menu includes both small sharing plates and larger meals. 

Drinks with a lovely view of the Opera House and Circular Quay.
