Sydney’s Most Romantic Restaurants for 2025

With Valentine’s Day just a few days away, time is ticking to lock in those romantic plans if you have not already! If you are looking to spoil your partner or they are putting on the pressure to provide an incredible romantic date, we’ve got you covered. Sydney can overwhelm you with choices for dining out on the town, especially on Valentine’s Day. So, narrowing down the perfect place for your romantic date can be tricky! That is why we have the ins and outs of Sydney’s most romantic restaurants for you.

1. Altitude Sydney 

First to the hall of fame would have to be Altitude Restaurant, located on level 36 of 5-star hotel Shangri-La Sydney. This breathtaking sky high restaurant not only provides perfect views of the Sydney Harbour but also a fine dining menu to impress. If you are lucky enough to secure it, the Altitude Restaurant is also home to an exclusive private dining room fit with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Sydney Harbour. If you prefer a touch of privacy and intimacy for your Valentine’s Dinner, this space will be perfect for you!

Better yet, why not take the opportunity to use their private dining room as the ultimate location for your marriage proposal? We can help you plan an elegant table for two or custom proposal setting to blow your partner away with an evening they won’t forget.

With this romantic restaurant being located in a hotel, you can then turn your romantic evening into an overnight stay to keep that love bubble for hours!

2. Bennelong Sydney 

Sydney’s next most romantic restaurant would have to be Bennelong Sydney. This one is a no brainer – what could get better than dining inside of the Sydney Opera House? The restaurant is built on multiple levels to ensure every table has a stunning view and it does not stray on the romantic mood lighting to set the scene for your date.

For Valentine’s Day, we would recommend requesting a window table and dining during the evening so the table-lantern lighting creates an intimate and private ambience for you and your partner.

3. O Bar and Dining

This next one-of-a-kind restaurant will blow your partner away with revolving 360-degree views of Sydney. O Bar and Dining is a luxurious cocktail bar with flawless food and service, located 47 levels above the CBD. With a view that good, you and your partner will feel on cloud-9 this Valentine’s Day!

Featuring a luxurious private dining room that can be exclusively booked, you can even fit a stylised proposal setting to surprise your partner with their dream proposal. Invite your family and loved ones, or keep it intimate and personal and indulge in your own private Champagne bar throughout your date.

4. Restaurant Hubert

If you are after a super cosy and moody scene for your date night, look no further than Restaurant Hubert. This boutique restaurant will transport you into your own love bubble as you nestle into one of the intimate and romantic booths with live jazz music setting the scene. Filled with low lighting, dark corners and a menu reflecting its love for Paris, you and your partner will enjoy an impeccable evening of food, entertainment and romance – perfectly fit for Valentine’s Day (or any day of the week, we say!).

5. Albertos Lounge

If you aren’t a fan of a French menu or wine list, whisk your partner away to a romantic night in Italy at Albertos Lounge. As the “Italian Cousin” of Restaurant Hubert you can expect another evening filled with authentic cuisine and delicious wine flowing until late at night. With fresh pasta and gelato made onsite daily, know that you will be indulging in something as close to the streets of Rome or Sicily as possible. Being more of a hidden gem in the Sydney CBD, you will experience a more exclusive and intimate vibe for your Valentine’s Day dinner!

6. Catalina Rose Bay 

If you and your partner are not the type to have a romantic dinner together but still want to do something special on Valentine’s Day, Catalina at Rose Bay may be your special place! Catalina Rose Bay sets the scene for a beautiful day time lunch overlooking the water as the boats pass by. With exceptional seafood and an unforgettable location in Rose Bay, your partner will be over the moon with the Valentine’s Day plans you have made!
