4 Course Lunch and Gift in the Sydney Opera House - For 2

Delight in a four course choice lunch for two at Bennelong inside the Sydney Opera House, with two hours and 30 minutes to three hours set aside to enjoy it. Take your seats side by side at the striking brass Counter, tucked beneath those famous white sails. Executive Head Chef Rob Cockerill shapes the contemporary Australian menu around the seasons, so dishes on the day may differ from the sample menu.

Your lunch might begin with prawn toast and chestnut, truffle and shiitake arancini, before you each choose an entree such as mud crab dumpling, a main of Murray cod or Black Angus, and a dessert like crème caramel or pistachio choux. As the last plate is cleared, you will leave with a special Bennelong gift to mark the occasion. It is a lunch made for lingering, catching up over every course and letting the rest of the day wait, and a present any food lover will treasure.
