Barangaroo House, Sydney

The terms “beautifully delicious” or “deliciously beautiful” apply to Barangaroo House in their entirety. The charcoaled timber on the splendid curved exterior, enhanced with the flowing native gardens on three levels, makes it hard, if not impossible, to pass by while strolling along the waterfront promenade at Barangaroo. Once inside, you will find the perfectly balanced decoration of the three areas – the House Bar, Bea, and Smoke – striking and elegant just as much.

What's more, this architectural gem on the edge of the shimmering blue Sydney Harbour brims with culinary and drinking delights either.

The House Bar is a cheerful oasis with a beer garden, equally enjoyed by the locals, workers, sightseers and travellers. The Bea restaurant on level one is the place for those seeking quality time in a relaxed atmosphere. Here you can savour mouth-watering food, washed down with fine wines, and with a lovely view on the foreground. Further up the sculptural wooden staircase is an enchanting rooftop bar, Smoke, with a stylish interior seamlessly joining a sweeping outdoor deck.
