Shell House Dining Room And Terrace

Soaring sky high above Wynyard, Shell House by The Point Group is a true beauty in the Sydney dining scene.

There are three bars—Menzies on the ground floor, then Sky Bar and Clock Tower Bar upstairs—each as beautiful as the next. Restaurant-wise, however, the aptly titled Dining Room & Terrace is Shell House's stunning rooftop brasserie where the food is as opulent as the interiors.

Begin with a choux pastry cruller doughnut filled with oyster cream and WA spanner crab with turnip, caramelised cream, and yuzu.

Behind the menu are two seasoned fine dining experts: culinary director Joel Bickford (ex-Aria) and head chef Aaron Wood (ex-Sixpenny).

After snacks, there's a butternut ravioli with buffalo ricotta, a rich mushroom risotto with optional truffle, a spectacular coal-roasted beetroot with blueberry and chive, and whiting served with champagne and caviar.

The award-winning wine list is hefty with pages of top-tier drops to discover.
