The Charles Grand Brasserie Sydney

The Charles Grand Brasserie sits at 66 King St. It holds a one-hat rating from the Australia Good Food Guide.

This restaurant favors the scale of a traditional European brasserie, making it a better choice for a formal occasion than the casual seafood spots scattered throughout the surrounding central business district. While the room runs smart, the restaurant avoids the hushed tone often associated with fine dining in the city. You choose this for the polish and the pacing, which manage the energy of the nearby financial blocks without losing its sense of purpose.
