Penelope's Sydney

Penelope's sits on Level R1 of the Quay Quarter, with its primary entrance on Philip Street. It is a ten-minute walk from the transit hub at Martin Place and a fifteen-minute walk from both the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The room runs smart and elegant, leaning into a contemporary aesthetic that matches its surroundings in the city’s financial district.

The restaurant serves modern contemporary seafood, but the real draw is the proximity to the harbour landmarks without the tourist-heavy crowds found at the water’s edge. While the surrounding streets are often frantic with commuters, the space here feels removed and deliberate. It is a more formal alternative to the cafes in nearby Circular Quay, making it a better choice for those who want a quiet table to actually hold a conversation.
