Staying in Pyrmont this was a gem to find - really great coffee, delicious food and exceptional service. As a coeliac they were really great in providing heaps of excellent gluten free options too. Will definitely be back in future visits to town and absolutely recommend to all.
Experience a vibrant atmosphere with stunning views and a trendy vibe, perfect for dining and enjoying a night out.

My husband and I dined at The Ternary last night.
Food:
For entrees we chose the salt + pepper calamari with soya + chilli and the grilled king prawns with chimichurri. We requested the calamari to be made gluten free, and it was cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delightful sweet and saltiness from the dipping sauce. The serving was quite generous. The prawns were impressive, grilled with an aromatic char and complemented by the chimichurri sauce and sweet corn.
I chose the 2022 Alkoomi Grazing Collection Riesling from Frankland River, WA to start my evening and it was a refreshing wine to also complement the entrees.
They offer an Asian kitchen menu and grill kitchen menu, but we both decided to go with their grill menu.
For mains my husband chose the 300g scotch fillet, 150-day grain-fed black angus served with potatoes, spinach, and choice of sauce. Cooked to a flawless medium-rare, my husband enjoyed his steak with his choice of the rich mushroom sauce. I had the 500g balmain bugs, served with garlic, parsley, and lemon butter, accompanied by potatoes and spinach. The balmain bugs were succulent and the sweet flesh complemented the dipping sauce. We also had the chips + truffle aioli. I requested this to be made gluten free. The truffle aioli was divine!
I requested from our personal server to surprise me with a matching wine for my bugs. I was recommended the 2022 Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc from Adelaide Hills, SA. This was a delightfully crisp and fresh wine that complemented my main dish.
At this point, we were quite full! We decided to share the apple creme brulee with cinnamon icecream for dessert. I requested this to be made gluten free. This light dessert was the perfect conclusion to our meal. The luscious creme brulee was infused with apple flavours and the aromatic cinnamon ice cream elevated this dish.
I couldn't resist trying one of their curated classic cocktails to match my dessert, the hot buttered rum. This warm cocktail was a blend of Captain Morgan spiced rum, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and all spice. This transported me straight to Europe during winter and the flavour was reminiscent of mulled wine. It was a warm and comforting drink to end the night.
Service:
Our amazing server was Ella. Her service was attentive, friendly, and professional. She checked up on us throughout the evening, but she was never intrusive. Ella kindly offered to take a photo of us which was very thoughtful. The bar staff, wait staff, and chefs were friendly and didn't mind me taking a few pictures and videos of the two open kitchens and bar area.
Atmosphere:
We arrived at 6pm and were initially a bit confused with the restaurant layout as the waiting area for dining was located past the bar with casual seating. We enjoyed the social and relaxed vibe of the restaurant and appreciated the trendy EDM playing during our entrees and mains, as this was during happy hour. Around 7pm the music changed to soft lounge music. We had a window seat and enjoyed been able to see the lights of Cockle Bay wharf and the dazzling views of the city skyline. The high ceilings, mood lighting, and open kitchens created an ambience of casual elegance.
Overall, The Ternary was a memorable dining experience. We dined with the Accor Plus discount, however the quality and quantity of the dishes were well worth the original price. Combined with attentive service and a relaxed atmosphere, The Ternary is undoubtedly a great place to dine in Darling Harbour.
Enjoy a cozy atmosphere with a lovely outdoor area, vibrant vibe, and diverse menu options that cater to everyone.

Breakfast on ANZAC day. Service was friendly, quick and efficient. One of us thought the food was fine, one of us was decidedly unimpressed. I liked the original presentation of the scrambled egg (piped in a swirl), whereas my wife ordered gluten free bread and complained it was inedible. Location eating outside was pleasant but overall I was appalled at the price once you add a gf bread option and a 'side'.$48 for a basic breakfast with a coffee for one person... ridiculous.
A cozy spot with a family vibe and delicious offerings, perfect for those looking for a unique dining experience, though portions can be on the smaller side.

Very friendly family environment, they took good care of my gluten free requirements and the food tasted fantastic! A little small on the portion sizes for a man and a bit pricy but overall very much enjoyed! Apparently the pita bread was to die for!
Pizza was decent. They have gluten free pizza bases which is great, but they taste a little bit bland, not fresh. Otherwise good selection of toppings and friendly staff.
Expect a top-notch dining experience with standout dishes and excellent service that’ll leave you eager to return.

Great seafood menu. We enjoyed the seafood pasta, seafood bouillabaisse and tuna with a lychee salsa. All the seafood was fresh, succulent and tasty. Chefs suggestions of matching wine very successful. Service most friendly and attentive. Trout ceviche starter very delicious. Catered well for our gluten free guest. Great view across the sparkling water. Saw glittering cruiser ship (across the bay) leave the harbour with much fanfare.
Some other guests had difficulty ordering and appreciating the menu and location. The owner handled the taxing situation with great finesse. Given the menu, superb location and friendly atmosphere, I guess some patron's cannot be pleased wherever they go!
Restaurant is not only dog friendly but staff and owner actually like dogs and were very welcoming to our Labrador. Also saw lots of families with children enjoying the evening. We had a very happy night out savouring Sydney's balmy summer weather and celebrating a birthday. Thoroughly recommended.
Charming spot with inviting outdoor seating and a spacious private room, perfect for celebrations and gatherings in a lovely, upmarket vibe.

We celebrated a friend’s milestone birthday last week and WOW, everything was amazing! The food was delicious! (Catered to gluten free). Service was impeccable. We’ll be back
Warm and sunny. Perfect for a winter breaky. Order a side of bacon and be treated to a bowl of bacon! 2 bacon pieces are the size of other places 4 pieces. Nice eggs and coffee, gluten free bread available, lots to read, big and small tables so good for groups, couples or singles. Really chill.
Always enjoy our morning coffees and eating here. The food is delicious, and the staff greet you with a warm welcome. A hidden gem in Pyrmont. Beautiful water views and great gluten-free options.
