Besides being a site of historical and cultural significance, this historic cobblestone laneway is also home to some of the most sophisticated restaurants in the city. The 6Head Steakhouse on the harbourside of Darling Harbour has rooftop views of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and its precinct and checks all the boxes required for a perfect waterfront dining restaurant.
