Galileo Restaurant
The Galileo restaurant is situated in the 5 star Observatory Hotel. The rich tapestries and antiques evoke old world charm in the restaurant. The atmosphere is reminiscent of dinning in a grand European salon. It is quiet elegance combined with informal Australian dinning. The menu is menu created with Japanese and French influences. Theses are represented in dishes such as lobster salad with cauliflower cream and orange powder. The restaurant is the best of the past fused with the present.
It's all sorts of old world wonderful.
The dimly let, golden, wooden style room gives an old world feeling to it and makes you feel that little bit more special.
The wait staff are charming and lovely. The food is beautifully presented and great tasting.
I think Galileo gets overlook all too often!
I have many people told me that this place is a must-go since probably ten years ago, but I have never had the chance to go to Galileo until last night. And I can now say that those people are spot-on for recommending this place.
Galileo is located in a boutique hotel now called The Langham Sydney, on the quiet, secluded of Kent St just off The Rocks. Arriving to this place feels like ...read more
I have been here a couple of times for the degustation menu which is always fabulous. The wagyu beef is great. We always seem to get the same seats whenever we go there but the service is fantastic. The last time we went here, my mother arranged for a birthday cake with the chef made. The cake was additional to the degustation menu and they even gave us the remaining cake. Well worth the experience.
My husband and I stayed at the Hotel for a weekend, organised by our son, who is a chef in the Galileo Restauant. Breakfast was a treat, with so much to choose from. I would have liked to have stayed for a week, to try all that is offered for breakfast.
We had dinner in the Galileo, which was superb!!! The wines matched each dish, without taking away the flavours of the food. I'm not a big wine drinker, but I enjoyed the experience.
I would recommend the Galileo Restaurant to anyone who enjoys the whole experience of having a relaxing, tasty and plesant food indulgence.
I am looking forward to having High Tea at the Observatory Hotel, which I have been told is as good as Breakfast and Dinner.
Had the a la carte menue and the food was lovely. The service however was very slow. It all started with trying to make a booking via phone and that was difficult, a sign of things to come! The 2 course dinner took 2.5 hours. The waiters rushed around all evening filling the water jug at the expense of the customers. Go for the food. Don't expect 5 star service.
