Cuisine: Modern Australian
Price Point: Mains from $25 - $35+
Great food and drink are married with ethically sourced produce at Apera in Sydney’s Castlecrag.
This modern restaurant takes pride in placing quality Australian ingredients on the menu, letting our local flavours sing.
Share a small plate of kingfish carpaccio or cauliflower fritters, then indulge in a dish from the rotisserie, such as the Bannockburn chook. Add a wood-fired element to your meal with locally caught fish, or why not try the lamb rump?
Dessert is also available, with dishes including a decadent chocolate torte and a refreshing stone-fruit pavlova.
Complement your meal with one of the many beers and wines available, and don’t forget to indulge in the restaurant’s namesake, a sherry (or, as they call it, an apera) after dinner.
Apera has plenty of vegetarian options available. It is a fully licensed venue that’s best suited to couples looking for a date-night spot, or friends and colleagues.

We were given the warmest of welcomes and looked after so well all night. It was a treat for my husband’s birthday and we went with friends.
The food was absolutely delicious - beautifully presented and just that little bit different which made it an exciting experience.
The restaurant itself was stunning and we will definitely be going back.
Highly recommended.

Great warm atmosphere. Impeccable service. This was definitely one of the best first table experiences.
Cauliflower dish was very unique and light. Pork was beautiful. Food serving was generous and ended up doggy bagging! Enjoyed the time there from start to end. Highly recommended.

What a little hidden gem! This place is amazing! From the service to the food, we both literally couldn't fault the place. We will definitely be back :)

A local gem. The service - fantastic. The waitress was so polite, helpful and attentive - such a delight. The food was also amazing. For 4 people, we ordered the cauliflower and white bait for entrees, porchetta, rainbow trout, pipis and slaw for mains, and the apple pie and pannacotta for dessert, all to share. I could tell most of the tables around us also ordered similar. Loved every dish. Restaurant also has an extensive drinks menu. Definitely recommend this place - great for special occasions, date night, or simply because you want good food to share with friends.

An early dinner for two, childfree was just what the doctor ordered.
It was lovely to try somewhere different. The waitresses were attentive but didn't hover.
The food is share style so it was nice to try a few different things. I'd certainly recommend giving it a go

Justina Catterall - dined at Apera on 2 February 2019
We were delighted with Apera and so pleased it is (almost) a local.
Staff welcoming and well informed, great range of beers and the house Negroni just terrific.Fresh and delicious food and presentation top notch.
We dined at First Table at 5.30 to trial it,but it was filling up fast as we left later.
More than happy to return even without the fabulous 50% discount we enjoyed .
Hope you are with us for many years Apera!
