Dining in Darling Harbour just got a whole lot better! To celebrate the return of diners and the start of summer, Darling Harbour is hosting what may be Sydney’s largest outdoor dining pilot! From November 13th, 22 of our favourite restaurants, cafes and bars will welcome over 1,000 outdoor diners with an additional 2,050 sqm of space. Venues in Cockle Bay Wharf, Darling Square, Darling Quarter, Harbourside, the ICC and Liverpool street are all taking part.

You could enjoy a seafood feast next to the water at Nick’s on Cockle Bay Wharf. Soak in the serenity with a yum cha feast in the Chinese Garden at The Gardens By Lotus. Or why not reserve your spot in the sun and grab a cold craft beer at the Pumphouse?

Wherever you are in Darling Harbour, you’re guaranteed good times, incredible views and live music at select venues. Get out there and enjoy the sun Sydney!
