Saké Restaurant & Bar - Sydney Sydney

Saké Restaurant & Bar sits on Argyle Street, a five-minute walk from the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia. The menu focuses on Japanese seafood and sushi, and the room runs smart and elegant.

You choose this venue for the architecture rather than the novelty of the fish. While its neighbours in the historic district rely on the heritage aesthetic, Saké uses the industrial scale of the old warehouse to separate diners from the noise of the harbour. The result is a sharper experience than the casual spots dotted around Circular Quay, where the proximity to the water often results in a rushed meal. It is a more focused choice for a sit-down dinner, especially when the humidity makes the outdoor dining at the end of the quay feel like a chaotic endurance test.
