No disagreement about the view - shows what makes Sydney so wonderful. Been here hundreds of times over the years but just wish the food returned to what it used to be here. Brought an interstate guest for breakfast this morning and not even the winter deluge could destroy the ambience of the location. The breakfasts though are very basic... More

We went with friends on a week night. Being a local, the view is still gobsmacking but you pay through the nose for food & wine. I don't mind paying for good food and service but the waiter was rude, uninterested in serving us and the food was uninspired. There are many other places that you can attend to show... More

Been wanting to try this cafe for ages. Not worth the wait. One serve of French toast was both burnt and cold; the gluten-free version tasteless. Coffee - don't bother!

As many reviewers have already commented the location is unbeatable. Nestled next to the Olympic swimming pool and the Harbour Bridge, the views are stunning. A shame then that the service was slow and our mains of pumpkin risotto were both small in portion size and required considerable seasoning by us to transfer them into a tasty dish. We ate... More

I use to live in Sydney and would come to eat here whenever I could. Ripples is still the best value for money in Sydney. Actually in all of Australia! The service is always impeccable, the food is amazing and so moderately priced and the view is unbeatable. I have never been disappointed with my Ripples experience.

Went for a late lunch and arrived just as the kitchen was closing. The wait staff were great and kept the kitchen open while we picked from the menu. Had a great table looking over the water and worked out way through a 3 course lunch with a lovely white wine to wash it down. The restaurant is BYO, but... More

The fish and chips is first class, amongst the nicest we have ever had. However like most things in Sydney, it is expensive. The view from the restaurant cannot be bettered.
