Woodcut Sydney

Woodcut is on the ground floor of Crown Sydney at 1 Barangaroo Avenue. It holds one hat from the Australian Good Food Guide.

While the harbour location invites comparisons to the heavyweights near the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Woodcut succeeds by prioritizing a contemporary, seafood-focused menu over the stiff formality common to its peers. The room runs smart, but it avoids the self-serious atmosphere that often plagues venues of this size. Choosing this spot over the older venues in The Rocks gives you proximity to the water without the tourist-heavy crush. You are a ten-minute walk from the quieter paths of the Barangaroo Reserve, making this a better pick for a focused meal than for a frantic night in the city centre.
