A brief photo essay of the lunch at Bennelong, Sydney.
[magyarul]

Bennelong is the restaurant in the third building of the Sydney Opera House. (Yes, it consists of 3 buildings, the 2 great halls are also separate buildings!) It serves a 'simple' lunch menu (you can choose 2 or 3 dishes) and it has also the stunning architecture of the whole complex!  

And even more, since I'm in love with this:

And the food:

We got some special starters, normally you can order them for supper or at the bar:

Red claw yabbies
lemon jam, cultured cream, buckwheat pikelets

Byron Bay black pig culatello
barley toast, truffle butter, radishes

Sydney rock oysters (from Merimbula) with lemon and pepper granita

And the rest of the day was also fabulous, with a nice walk, some coffee, relaxing in the Andrew Charlton Pool, and enjoying Turandot in the HANDA Opera in Sydney Harbour.
