LuMi

Located on the Pyrmont Bay, Darling Harbour, LuMi Dining is a fine restaurant located on the harbour with extensive walls that makes it look like you're floating on water. The head chef specialises in Italian cooking with a Japanese twist as the locals call it and the menu includes similar fusion ideas. This is that kind of place that celebrates luxury and believes in giving you what you pay for. The foods here are vibrant with the Italian gunkan being the latest addition to the group which roughly translates to ‘battleship’.

There’s no unified menu with separate dishes but a package for different budgets with varying courses in each of them. Pick the LuMi experience to get a fourteen course meal along with ultra fine beverages and drinks. This is presented one by one starting with the gunkan, then small succulent snacks which include a filling of yellowfin tuna, fancy toasts, the Japanese steamed egg custard, snapper ceviche, Jerusalem artichoke and many more. Main course varies seasonally but often includes hapuka, quail or scarlet prawns, to name a few, followed by unbeatable desserts. You can additionally purchase dishes and drinks that catch your gaze and if you want to get a more comprehensive menu opt for the late dinner sitting where you can fully experience the chef's true art.
