When visiting Sydney, Australia visit The Sydney Cove Oyster Bar.

Feb. 18, 2013 - PRLog -- When it comes to dining by the water’s edge, Sydney Cove Oyster Bar is unique. No other CBD restaurant can offer the combination of postcard-perfect views of the city skyline, Circular Quay and the Harbour Bridge and the seductive splash of the sea, teamed with a menu of the freshest shucked-to-order oysters, Australian seafood and local, seasonal produce.
This year, Sydney Cove Oyster Bar marks its 25th anniversary: we opened on Australia Day 1988 and have been steered by the same management ever since. While we serve on average 15,000 dozen oysters a year, there’s much more to us than oysters – check out our tempting breakfast, lunch and dinner menus.
The Sydney Cove Oyster Bar is positioned in one of Sydney’s most enviable locations, and is the only water’s edge seafood restaurant within the Sydney CBD. The Sydney Opera House and the Royal Botanic Gardens are just metres away, and anyone enjoying a drink or a meal at The Sydney Cove Oyster Bar will also enjoy uninterrupted views of the Sydney skyline, Circular Quay and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Come and join us for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or perhaps a relaxing drink by the harbour as the sun goes down. The Sydney Cove Oyster Bar offers outdoor heating for your comfort in the cooler months, with indoor seating also available.
We look forward to serving you at Sydney Cove Oyster Bar.

History of Sydney Cove...
Historically, Sydney Cove is one of Australia’s most significant landmarks. On the 26th of January 1788, Captain Arthur Phillip—the leader of the First Fleet—raised a flag on the shore of Sydney Cove to proclaim the Colony of New South Wales, in the name of the King of England.
This date was later to become our national holiday, known today as Australia Day. Coincidentally, on this exact day 200 years later, the Sydney Cove Oyster Bar began trading.
The Federation building, which houses the Sydney Cove Oyster Bar, itself dates back to 1908. It was constructed for the workers at Burns Philip & Co as part of the wharf facilities that serviced the many Island trading ships during the early to mid 1900s. In 1911 a tendons room was added which, along with the public lavatories, remained in use until 1987 when Circular Quay was redeveloped in preparation for Australia’s bicentennial celebrations. Part of the redevelopment included changing the usage of this heritage-listed building to ‘restaurant’—the first step towards making East Circular Quay a true people precinct.
The Sydney Cove Oyster Bar has traded since that date and developed a reputation for serving premium Sydney Rock Oysters and quality Australian seafood in what is arguably the most perfect location of any city in the world.
Its close proximity to the Opera House makes it the ideal destination for a pre-opera meal and its easy strolling distance from most CBD hotels makes it a favourite for that late night coffee or dessert wine. Sydneysiders and travellers alike would agree that the tranquil setting and spectacular views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge make The Sydney Cove Oyster Bar one of the country’s absolute “must-do” locations.
