Fathers Day Lunch and Dinner In Sydney
Father’s Day falls on Sunday the 6th of September this year. Whether it’s the kids organising something, partners booking the table, or the whole family taking Dad out together, there’s a booking suited to dad across Hunter Street Hospitality’s Sydney venues. From steakhouses, share-style feasts to a sportsbar with the game on, come visit us this Father’s Day.
Rockpool Bar and Grill
Rockpool is the pick for the classic steakhouse dad, one who is satisfied to have a proper cut of meat and a good glass of red. It’s a grand dining room, which is built for a sit-down lunch or dinner. Good for a smaller family group who want the day kept simple and done well.
Spice Temple
If Dad’s the one who always orders Chinese, Spice Temple is definitely the one for him. The dining room is lowly-lit and everything is designed to be shared rather than eaten as separate mains. It suits a group who like to eat together rather than each ordering their own dish.

Ananas
Ananas in The Rocks does French Brasserie cuisine, designed for dad who is looking for something different but not compromising on quality. The walk to and from the venue takes in harbour views, and it pairs easily with a drink at Tailor Room with your old man before a late lunch or early dinner.
24 York
24 York works for a dad who finds a long menu more stressful than helpful. There’s one thing to order here and it’s always done well. It’s a relaxed spot in the city that suits either a family lunch or a quicker dinner before some late night plans. Making it a good option when you want the day to feel simple and easy.
The Cut Bar & Grill
Set in The Rocks, The Cut suits a dad who has strong opinions about how a steak should be cooked and where the best ones in the city are served. The room leans into old-school steakhouse theatre rather than anything flashy, and it’s a solid choice for a smaller table.
Saké Restaurant & Bar
Saké in The Rocks is for the dad who prefers Japanese food over anything else on this list. It’s built around sharing rather than one plate each, in a stylish room with a bit more atmosphere than most Sunday dining spots. Perfect for the small group wanting to do something different for Dad this year.
Sahtein
Sahtein is perfect for the dads with a big appetite and an even bigger group to fill. Everything here is for sharing, so larger groups can get a taste of a proper mediterranean feast. It’s a fine dining room in The Rocks, but the venue is big enough to allow for a large family with kids, which makes it one of the better options on this list for a family-wide celebration.
Fratelli Fresh
For a family that can’t agree on pizza or pasta, Fratelli Fresh solves that with a dedicated Father’s Day Family Table built to serve four in one booking, kids included. It’s a relaxed, no-fuss setting that takes the pressure off deciding what everyone wants. It runs across five Sydney locations including the northern beaches, at Darling Harbour, Entertainment Quarter, Manly, Westfield Miranda and Westfield Sydney.

The Bavarian
At Westfield Miranda, The Bavarian suits a dad who’d rather have a schnitzel and a beer than a formal sit-down meal. The Dad Pack serves a Jäger Schnitzel with mushroom sauce and fries, paired with a drink. It’s a casual, loud room built for a big group, where nobody needs to dress up to have a good time.

El Camino Cantina
For the adult kids who know Dad would rather skip a traditional sit-down lunch, El Camino has something different and more exciting instead. Offering a Father’s Day special of extra loaded nacho waffle fries and a drink on the house for Dad when the booking’s made ahead. It runs across The Rocks, Entertainment Quarter and Westfield Miranda, and it suits a group who want a fun day out rather than a formal affair.

Munich Brauhaus
Munich Brauhaus in The Rocks offers an exclusive cellar list of beer brought in specifically for the day. Gather the family for pork knuckles, golden schnitzels great for bigger groups where some of Dad’s friends may end up joining the family outing.

Winghaus
If Dad won’t miss the game for anything, not even his own celebration, Winghaus is built around that exact problem. Screens everywhere, a casual pub setting, and no expectation that anyone dresses up or sits through a long lunch. Available at Circular Quay, Barangaroo and Entertainment Quarter, and it’s the right call for a family who knows sport wins every time.
