The actor and TV presenter will be back in Sydney this summer, at least for the next few months, after living in Los Angeles with wife Zoe Ventoura for the past year.Ĭomerain or hail, Sky Terrace features a transparent marquee ensuring it is an all-weather option.
“To see the way Sydney evolved is very exciting,” he says of our sky search. Other Sydney rooftop spots he enjoys include Coogee Pavilion and the dishes of chef Jordan Toft, who he counts as a friend after meeting at the then Toft-run LA open-air restaurant, Eveleigh. “It’s the ideal spot to showcase Sydney,” he says, relishing the opportunity to have a drink on the roof then eat downstairs at the venue which offers everything from modern Japanese at Chase Kojima’s Sokyo to having half a dozen oysters before a show at the The Lyric theatre. It’s the outdoor dining spaces in LA that he thinks we should aspire to, inviting American friends over to spend Christmas and putting the The Sky Terrace on the list. “A spectacular Sydney summer evening is just what we are after,” says Dan MacPherson at The Sky Terrace, on the roof of The Star overlooking our magnificent harbour at Pyrmont. ONLY in recent years has Sydney started to claim the sky to open a number of new elevated venues.
