Solander Dining and Bar

Solander Dining and Bar brings a botanical flourish to contemporary Australian dining in the heart of Sydney’s CBD. With views to a lush atrium and flexible spaces for everything from intimate catch-ups to group celebrations of up to 140 guests, it balances whimsy with polish. A commitment to sustainability runs through the experience, with seasonal produce sourced from local suppliers and a thoughtful, farm-to-table sensibility.

On the plate, familiar comforts arrive with a refined touch. Think steak frites finished with Café de Paris butter and red wine jus, or a double patty cheese burger tucked into a milk bun with bacon and pickles. Small plates and sides invite sharing, from pork and chorizo sausage roll with spiced bush tomato relish to duck fat roast potatoes dusted with parmesan and rosemary salt. For something sweet, the wattleseed crème brûlée, lifted with Tahitian vanilla, vies with a soft-centred chocolate fondant, blackberries and malt ice cream.

At the emerald green terrazzo marble bar, boutique drinks set the tone, with a $15 Negroni on Thursdays and a $27 Angus steak special on Tuesdays. Whether it is a quick bite and olives or a lingering dinner amid the greenery, Solander Dining and Bar is poised for every occasion. Make a date and let the evening blossom.
