Annamese

Sleek waterfront vibes. High-voltage Vietnamese plates. Ask the city's culinary obsessives where to drop in for a proper nhậu session by the harbour, and they’ll point you straight to Annamese. This Barangaroo stunner delivers all the finesse of fine dining—minus the stuffy pretense. The kitchen goes hard on bold, unapologetic flavor. Think insanely crisp whole fried snapper drenched in a tangy sauce. Wok-fired lemongrass chicken packing serious aromatic punch. And the Bò Lúc Lắc? Wagyu beef seared to absolute perfection. Those who’ve snagged a table know you don't skip the drinks—the mango sticky rice cocktail drinks like a spiked dessert smoothie. Pair it with plump oysters swimming in a house sauce that commands total respect, plus fluffy, shatter-crisp roti to mop up the slow-cooked lamb. Ferry over, grab a seat, and let the stellar crew handle the rest.
