Where Land Meets Sea

Taking inspiration from our idyllic location between the Royal Botanic Gardens & Sydney Harbour, the concept for Q Dining is ‘where land meets sea’. An Australian sanctuary with foliage accents, we pride ourselves on working closely with local Australian suppliers to source the freshest ingredients. Combining European cooking techniques with unique Australian flavours, let our team take you on a culinary adventure with our new a la carte menu.
