Luna Lu

Overview

Fine dining meets Asian fusion at contemporary diner Luna Lu, located along Campbells Cove in Circular Quay. This restaurant fuses contemporary Asian fare with quality Australian produce.

Diners can choose between tempting small plates such as Hokkaido scallop sashimi with cashew nut puree and pickled daikon; yellowfin tuna tataki with a som tum yum mango dressing; and Black Angus Ranger Valley short beef ribs with sticky sauce and fresh chillies.

A range of dim sims are made fresh daily, with no artificial colours or flavours. Diners can choose between classic money bags, charcoal har gow dumplings with king prawn and spanner crab, green half-moon dumplings with Hokkaido scallops, and more.

Larger dishes include a wok-fried MB9 rump cap steak, honey yuzu crispy fried chicken, and seafood candied fried rice. Vegetarians and vegans in attendance will not go home hungry with Kung Pao-style eggplant and a mock-chicken version of the honey yuzu chicken dish.

The Luna Lu signature menu features a selection of the venue's showstopping dishes, such as Tasmanian southern rock lobster picked straight from the tank; Berkshire pork belly with crispy leeks and cinnamon dark soy sauce; and Glacier Heard Island toothfish coated in a green curry and English spinach emulsion.

If there's room for dessert, choose between sticky date pudding, pandan deep-fried ice cream, or Luna's Opera House — inspired by the iconic building — among others.

There's a variety of menus on offer at Luna Lu. Besides the main menu outlined above, there's the express lunch menu, a children's menu, a gluten-free version of the menu and a high tea menu available on the weekends from 12–4pm.

Not to be outdone by the food on offer, Luna Lu pours a variety of signature cocktails, sake, gins and whiskies, as well as an extensive wine list — with 18 Penfolds wines making the cut. More beverage options can be found upstairs at Luna Lu's sister venue, Bar Lulu, where decadent bar snacks, cocktails and wines are on offer.

Luna Lu can be found at Bays 4 and 5, 7-27 Circular Quay West, Campbells Cove, The Rocks. The restaurant is open from 12pm–late daily. Find out more at the Luna Lu website.
