Reach for the top

A revolving culinary experience

By Zoe Ferguson, 13 May 2010

Situated in the heart of Sydney’s central business district, the Summit Restaurant and Orbit Lounge Bar are only minutes from the Opera House at Circular Quay, The Rocks area and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Perched 47 floors above the harbour with a rotating restaurant to take in the amazing 360 degree view of Sydney’s harbour and city, it’s just divine. For locals, newcomers or visitors, it offers a unique dining and bar experience, one to indulge in indefinitely.
 

Acclaimed Sydney’s best dining experience, the fresh and innovative menu created by acclaimed restaurateur and international Chef Michael Moore and his team is exciting and extensive. Summit’s culinary concept is designed to reflect Sydney’s exceptional harbourscape surrounding you, blending an inspired range of Australian products and flavours infusing Sydney’s colour and movement into each dish, making the culinary experience as inviting as it delicious. With fresh local seafood and crustacean, beautiful Australian beef, cheeses and wines, Summit is a sensory indulgence.
Try the beautifully crafted signature dishes such as the cold smoked petuna ocean trout served with warm black pepper oil, poached quail eggs, brioche butter toast, fennel cream broth, organic seeded lavosh or the twice cooked pork belly glass crackling, with royal gala apple & madagascan vanilla marmalade, apple balsamic toffee.
 

Summit’s wine list offers an accessible and exciting international gathering of the world's best wines with a diverse and extensive list of some 180 wines representing the perfect offering of boutique and renowned labels in Australia, New Zealand and Europe.
 

Bathed in a warm, translucent glow from its watermelon pink lamps and myriad of Campari bottles, Orbit Lounge Bar is a popular meeting spot for Sydney sophisticates and international guests, inviting them to relax and enjoy observing Sydney unfolding before them. There’s lounge music and a tapas menu each evening from 5pm which nicely compliments the fresh cocktails and international wine list.
 

Open 7 days a week, Summit Restaurant and its Orbit Lounge Bar are definitely worth a whirl (pun intended). Enjoy.
