Gateway has something to suit every mood and appetite.

Dining at Gateway: our top picks
Gateway is your one-stop, family-friendly dining hub in the heart of Circular Quay. The landmark dining precinct is the perfect place to stop, thanks to its excellent public transport connectivity, including ferries, buses, trains and the light rail, and its exciting array of eateries, all located under one roof. Whether you’re after a quick bite or a sit-down meal, its one of the most convenient dining hubs in all of Sydney.
Swing by Betty’s Burgers for a classic retro burger shack experience, serving up made-to-order burgers done right. Taste fresh spring rolls and fall-of-the-bone pork ribs at one of Sydney’s best-loved Asian restaurants, Chat Thai.
If you’re after an authentic Aussie pub experience, sip on a schooner and snack on a parmi at The Ship Inn or the Paragon Hotel, known for their hearty fare and cold drinks, offering the best kind of relief from a busy day wandering around Sydney.
After something a bit healthier? Drop by Cali Press, which was founded right here in Sydney but goes for a Californian-inspired vibe. Think cold-pressed juices, salads that actually taste good and foamy barista coffees.
Award-winning modern steakhouse, Hurricane’s Grill, specialises in premium, tender meats and has a relaxed, approachable vibe with a South African flair. With signature dishes including melt-in-the-mouth ribs, the cuisine is infused with global flavours and barbecue techniques from Australia, Portugal and South Africa.
If you’re feeling adventurous, try traditional South African dishes like boerewors (farm sausage), millie pap (maize meal), and chakalaka (a South African salsa), or opt for a classic dry-aged strip loin.
What better to polish all this off than a scoop of the iconic Sydney gelateria, Gelato Messina, which serves up scoops of 40 different flavours, with everything from Boysenberry, Coconut and Lychee, Dulce De Leche and Salted Caramel and Mango Sorbet.
If customising your dessert with an abundance of mouth-watering toppings is more your style, head to Yo-Chi, Sydney’s go-to fro-yo spot, where queues regularly spill down the street. You can make your very own acai bowl here, or opt for other flavours like Signature Tart, Salted Butterscotch, Strawberry Cream and Chocolate.
