We had a wonderful dinner, thanks to Gioia we were looked after and enjoyed being witness to a fantastic Chef. The food was perfect and prepared very fast.
We travel Oceania for business and will definitely be back again!
Wonderful views, tasty Asian inspired food and friendly service. It’s a great spot to take interstate or overseas visitors. We chose mainly seafood dishes and the seafood was fresh, delicious and cooked appropriately. #darlingharbour
Dazzled by the Sydney harbour views and buzzing restaurants, we were accompanied by some fine food and drinks. We started with Blood Orange Mimosas’ & Seared juicy scallops. We than moved our way through to the crispy pulled pepper beef savoury pastries and creamy prawn panang curry. At the risk of putting on 204672947 kilos, we continued to be impressed with the perfectly roasted wagyu with truffle butter and vegetables.
The best things come in threes. Like it’s namesake, The Ternary, derived from the latin word, “ternarius” – constitutes three elements; bar, wok and grill with three dishes on this Winter Warmers menu. Located in the Novotel, Darling Harbour, the soft hues of flamingo pink reel you in as you ascend into the space, the warmth of the fireplace provides sanctuary from the winter cold as its flames and embers whisper distinctly through the bustling main dining area.
The walk to our table takes us through the ‘ternarius’ core, heading past the award winning bar, Asian kitchen and tandoor and finally passing the sizzling grill.
We’re reminded of our fondness of this venue with its world class rationale of creation, with the panoramic backdrop of Darling Harbour.
Located in Darling Harbour, offering dazzling views of the Sydney City skyline, The Ternary Restaurant brings an air of casual sophistication to the Sydney dining scene. They have three distinct offerings: the Grill Kitchen, the Asian Kitchen and the Wine Bar with an extensive menu and drinks list and we could not wait to try them out for dinner one night.
Delicious food, generously portioned, and very short wait time for meal, despite the crowd.
Cocktails were amazing, and the service was flawless.
During our 4 days stay at Novatel, the service we used the most was of Buffet Breakfast at The Ternary every morning.
It was a delight to be at The Ternary. Enjoying a beautiful backdrop of a Cockle Bay and bathing in natural sunlight through those giant glass walls was a perfect start for the day. Spacious arena, high ceilings, right décor, polite staff and excellent food… it’s a place that you can spend hours.
The Ternary has a vast range of menu to offer, from Asian to American to Continental. Everyone will find something of their favourite. Kanji, Rice, Noodles, Pancakes, Live Egg station, Bacon, juices, fresh fruits, yoghurts… the list is long. It is of 5 star quality.
My most favourite was the Almond Croissants (I think that’s what they call it) from the Patisserie section. Everyone should have it. It’s big, soft and stuffed. It makes the morning Coffee more enjoyable.
Definitely look forward to be at The Ternary again.

It’s hard to expect much when a venue caters to an international visitor and local palette. It would have been easy to play it safe. So it was a nice surprise to see the adventurous nature of some of the dishes offered here and after two visits it's under continual state of evolution, enhancement raising those expectations each time and never failing to deliver.
Opening the cocktail menu, are signatures created by the beverage and mixology staff. The experience truly owned and created by every single person across all levels from the kitchen to the bar to the management offices. It’s a rare and impressive thing to see such exceptional team cohesion. Hence one of the most memorable experiences had in a long time.Highlights and very very seductive combinations of flavors from my recent visit:Scallops with Thai Papaya Salad and banana blossom
Sashimi Kingfish with basil pesto and mustard seed pasta
Tandoori Lamb and beetroot puree
Steak Potato and pumpkin, asian greens, served with 3 sauces: pepper, mushroom and chill red wine jus
Based on the dishes and recommendations from our hostess, all the signature cocktails are phenomenal having tried them, but Jake, Josh and Mitch's seemed to work best with tonight's selection. Also recommend the creations by Murdoch - you'll see his photo plastered on the cover page of the drinks menu. Award winning, Australian Bartender supreme mixologist standards here!This is not a hotel dining and bar venue that is just a gateway to destination Sydney, but the opposite, it's a destination all its own with a compelling menu that's relevant to modern Australia, locals and visitors alike!
Came on a scorcher of a day for a midday cocktail. I had my own concoction made up - basically Pimms, cucumber, strawberry, lime syrup and mint. My friend had the passion flower cocktail which was chambord, vodka, lychee syrup, edible flowers and other stuff. The atmosphere was very chilled and you almost forget it's attached to a hotel.
Came here while in Sydney for a short trip away from Melbourne and we chose this place for dinner. We were not disappointed. The food was delightful and the service was exceptional. In particular, we advised the waitress were are allergic to nuts. The waitress assured us they could make the creme brulee but they could take away the nuts. The dessert comes out and there is a biscuit sticking out of the brulee which looked suspicious to me. There looked to be nuts in the biscuit (it's one of the biscuits where you can clearly see bits of dried fruit, and in this case, also nuts). The waitress came over and was extremely apologetic. She indicated they could make the dessert again but without the biscuit, and furthermore, they would not charge for the dessert. To me, that's exceptional service. To add, the creme brulee tasted amazing! We will certainly be back.
Our favoruites were the Peperoni pizza and the fish and chips. The salt and pepper squid and the tuna were okay. Drinks were good with a big range. The atmosphere was lovely and the restaurant is quite big. The staff are also accommodating. Overall a good experience!
Nice place to hang out with friends and have drinks or to gather in family setting. Delicious food options. Nice decor with a great view of the Sydney skyline.
We had Calamari & Wagyu Beef. The calamari was the best. Must try for yourself.
Simply amazing,
From the layout of the restaurant, open kitchen, to the amazing wait staff and the best food you could possibly have for dinner outside.
Hands down it is the best Restaurent in the Accor group in Australia, and one of my favourite restaurant to dine in.
Highly recommended.
Must visit The Ternary whenever time I was in Sydney!A restaurant never failed me!
First the food is without question good,the grill kitchen offer really good quality steak and salmon both are my favourite and the garlic naan bread and soft shell crab bun from Asian kitchen is really good too!

Delicious food with a perfect view over the habour. At Saturday night's, you can see fireworks right outside the window.
The service is amazing and I would definitely come back. There are Asian food, fish, chicken and meat - so everything you can wish for. All food is made directly from the kitchen!
It's also close to the Star casino, so just jump further to continue a great night! ⭐🌃
This place is situated inside the Novotel hotel.
Had a late lunch at the front part of this restaurant & chose a few dishes from their all day menu. Calamari was good & melted in your mouth, I wasn’t a fan of the dipping sauce for it & asked for aioli instead. The arancini also very crunchy with beautiful fillings. The main part of the restaurant was closed which seemed more formal as opposed to the front part which had more of a casual feel to it.
Service was very friendly & the food came out quick which was good as we all were starving.
Although this place is inside a hotel it has great views of the Sydney skyline & there is also outdoor seating which would be nice to have drinks should the weather permit you.
