Lotus

Cocktails, dumplings and modern Chinese cuisine right on the Barangaroo waterfront? Don’t mind if we do. 

Just moments from the edge of the harbour, Lotus Barangaroo is a contemporary Chinese restaurant offering a relaxed yet refined dining experience in one of Sydney’s most iconic settings. With a sun-drenched courtyard, modern interiors and a location close to the water, it’s ideal for everything from business lunches to special celebrations.

The menu is shaped by authentic Chinese techniques and a distinctly Sydney twist. Expect vibrant, flavour-rich dishes made with premium, seasonal ingredients. Start with a selection of hand-crafted dumplings like their famous pork xiao long bao, or fresh oysters and scallops with tomato sambal. For mains, standout options include pipis in XO sauce, crispy chicken, lotus duck fried rice, and the intriguingly spiced ‘strange flavour’ eggplant with Sichuan pepper.

Every meal deserves a perfect pairing. At Lotus, the drinks list is just as carefully curated as the menu. Sip on a bespoke cocktail—, ike the jalapeño-infused picante margarita, or choose from local craft beers, chilled sake, and a broad range of Australian and international wines.

At the heart of the Lotus experience are four pillars: exceptional food, fresh produce, skilled chefs, and warm, attentive service. Whether you're dining indoors or enjoying a sunny afternoon in the courtyard, Lotus Barangaroo delivers a delicious, memorable experience every time.
