Finding a table for six on a Friday night, without a booking, is often a challenge and this restaurant was full. However, the staff told us a big table should be available in 20-30 minutes, so we headed down to Circular Quay to see the Festival of Light (Vivid) As promised, 20 minutes later, they phoned to say our table...

We went to this restaurant on a Friday night during Vivid! We of course had a booking and it was a good thing. There were 4 of us and we all enjoyed something different. The bread appetizer was very good. I then had the Wagyu beef pie w red wine confit shallots, puff pastry lid & braised cavolo nero. It... More

We dined at Selah recently on a Sunday night before a show. The restaurant is tucked away from the main Circular Quay tourist precinct but just a stroll to the Quay and on to the Opera House. We have dined at many of the restaurants in the area and this rates high amongst them. Our party had the lamb, steak,... More

A 2 minute walk from Circular Quay and one of the best restaurants around. This was our 3rd visit and we absolutely love this restaurant, the service, staff and the food are outstanding. The wagyu beef pie is to die for!

This was probably our least favorite dinner during our 15-day trip to Australia. It was so unimpressive I can't recall what we ordered (maybe I had a scallops and pasta dish), but my wife and I both thought it was just average and certainly not on the same level as our other meals while visiting Australia - and we tried...

This restaurant is very close to Circular Quay, but thankfully isn't one of the tourist oriented places that surround the area. It is homely rather than upmarket, busy but not loud, and has an interesting menu and wine list. Food quality was impressive and the service attentive and friendly without being intrusive. It's not the easiest to locate (walk up... More

Me and my partner love this place. The food and service are excellent. We love coming here for a special occasion, as it is nice and quiet giving us the privacy we want, while at the same time impressing us with flavours. Thanks you Selah!

Ate here on a Friday night. Pre booked via phone as we were travelling up from Melbourne and didnt want to miss out on a table. On arrival the place was almost full and was buzzing. Great feel to it, not overly big (so book), cozy and relaxed. First meal I spied, was the waygu beef pie, looked great and... More

We were introduced to Selah by friends. It is a couple of minutes from Circular Quay with a shopfront that might be easy to walk past but definitely warrants a visit to enjoy delicious food in a cosy atmosphere. The owner is available to customers, and takes pride in what is offered to diners. The food is delicious - serves... More
