Sky Restaurant & Lounge

Half restaurant, half rooftop bar, Sky Restaurant & Lounge is our pick for dinner with a view. Another Crowne Plaza dining destination, you'll need to take the lift to level 11 to find your table here.

There's no shortage of tipples to accompany your meal, with signature cocktails and a solid selection of beer, wine and spirits. The food menu leans to small bites for easy sharing, making this perfect for a date night that impresses. Think beef sliders, antipasto for two, calamari, a tasting sashimi platter and mushroom bruschetta.

The Burwood Hotel

East meets West at The Burwood Hotel, a traditional pub with a twist. A local favourite, the renovated pub has room for all with the addition of its Burwood Eating House, where casual meals can be enjoyed with a side of good times.

The menu combines classic pub grub with an Asian flare - think Katsu chicken burgers with Tonkatsu sauce, chilli prawn pappardelle, tempura vegetables and steaming bowls of grilled teriyaki, torched salmon and pork belly ramen.

1915 Lanzhou Beef Noodle

You can't look past 1915 Lanzhou Beef Noodle for the best noodle bowls in town. There are no bookings here, so you may have to wait at peak times - the Burwood location is one of the most popular - but it's 100% worth it when you're slurping your bowl of salty goodness.

The Lanzhou beef noodles are made with love and tradition and served in a mouthwatering soup with tasty toppings. Side dishes of dumplings, skewers, cucumber salads and potato cakes complete the meal.
