Lana Sydney

Lana sits on the first floor of 7 Young Street, a fifteen-minute walk from the Sydney Opera House. It serves contemporary seafood in a room that runs smart and elegant.

Lana is a more deliberate choice than the tourist-heavy waterfront options that flank it. While those nearby spots lean on their proximity to the harbour, this venue earns its keep with a one-hat ranking from the Australian Good Food Guide. The kitchen focuses on a modern approach to local fish that feels more considered than the high-volume plates found closer to the bridge. If you want a meal that prioritizes the plate over the postcard, this is where you go.
