The International is a multi-dimensional venue that draws energy from the precinct’s mid-century modern design, celebrates its place within the cultural epicentre of the CBD, and presents three distinctly international levels of hospitality reflecting Sydney’s progressive drinking and dining culture today. It’s not just a restaurant; it’s a a social and culinary destination where the only rule is that that the food, the wine, and hand-crafted beverages must be delicious and of exceptional quality, and the service dedicated, inspire and authentic.

Across its three levels, The International plays host to a rotating line-up of experiences. Below, a look at what’s currently drawing Sydney in.
