King Street Wharf, Sydney

King Street Wharf, Sydney

King Street Wharf, also known as Darling Harbour ferry wharf, is a mixed-use tourism, commercial, residential, retail and maritime development adjacent to the Darling Harbour tourist precinct on the western edge of Sydney's central business district. The commercial waterfront between Lime Street and Darling Harbour consists of 85 commercial suites with a retail component. The latter contains 11 restaurants, the largest of which seats 450, plus a number of exciting international bars.

Among the most notable eateries lining King Street Wharf are the following:

- Meat District Co, a destination for passionate carnivores. Spanning two levels, this place serves up a lavish menu of delicious meat options: beef burgers, prime steer steaks, ribs, chicken and slow cooked lamb and pork sourced only from Australia’s best sustainable farmers. The ground floor offers alfresco seating and is dominated by perpetually busy open kitchen. The top level holds a large island bar laden with finest craft beers, cocktails and local wines, complemented by a stunning waterside view.

- Casa Ristorante Italiano offers an authentic, chic-casual Italian dining experience. A place where historic Naples meets contemporary Sydney. The Casa carries on the menu a choice of hand-crafted specialty pastas, wood-fired pizzas, house-made breads and sauces, all made of the top-quality Australian and imported Italian ingredients.

- Cargo, reputedly one of Sydney’s most famous bars. Its fame dates back almost two decades and is owed to a combination of Sydney-siders cocktails, dancing and good times. This notorious party venue is just as cool in terms of street-style food. Ideal for those who fancy a quick bite to chow down with a drink in hand.

Also, the King Street Wharf area also regularly plays host to major events, such as food festivals.
