Relaxed elegance coupled with a world-class Italian menu ensures creativity levels are kept at their highest. And don't forget the bar, and it's menu of lighter snacks, perfect for sun downers.

5 Mr Wong

Australasian is the name of the game

So Wong, it's right! This is THE place to come mouth to fork with Australia's delectable Oriental influences. The food is sublime: dim sum, roast duck and steamed fish with ginger and shallots were our favourites. The service is impeccable, with unobtrusive, knowledgeable waiters and sommeliers plying their wares. And the decor: imagine marble tables, hanging ducks and a 1930s Shanghai teahouse vibe. See? You're already half-way there.
