Matteo Downtown Sydney

Matteo Downtown is on Bond Street, a fifteen-minute walk from the Queen Victoria Building. The room runs smart and elegant, serving a contemporary and classic Italian menu.

While the city centre is defined by quick-turnover lunch spots, this kitchen opts for a more deliberate pace. It is a more formal choice than the casual cafes nearby, focusing on the kind of Italian cooking that rewards a longer stay. You go here because the dining room demands a bit more polish than its neighbours, providing a sense of occasion that many of the surrounding street-level bistros simply lack.
