Just below Quay is Doyles, a name synonymous with seafood in Sydney. Most customers sit outside to enjoy the fabulous views across the harbor, though a set of thick green railings does somewhat interrupt the view of the Opera House. Businesspeople and tourists come here if they don't want to lay out the cash for Quay or if they fancy a more relaxed style. The most popular dish here is basically pricey fish-and-chips (choose between ocean trout, garfish, John Dory, swordfish, whiting, and salmon). You can also pick up a dozen oysters for A$20 (U.S.$14) or a lobster for A$65 (U.S.$45.50). A second Doyles, Doyles on the Beach (02/9337 2007), at Watsons Bay, serves fabulous food. Nearby is a third Doyles, Doyles Fisherman's Wharf (02/9337 1572), located on the ferry wharf; it used to be a take-out joint, but now has sit-down service.
