Lunch at Bullions Café
Located within The Mint Sydney, Bullion Dining offers a refined lunch experience. Their menu showcases contemporary Australian cuisine and premium local ingredients against a backdrop that is relaxed, elegant and distinctly Sydney.
Picnic at The Mint
For those who ‘BYO’ (bring your own) lunch and are simply looking for somewhere to get away from the desk, The Mint Sydney is the perfect choice. It’s the oldest surviving public building in Sydney’s CBD, originally part of Governer Macquarie’s ‘Rum’ hospital for convicts, and later become the first branch of the Royal Mint outside of London. With free entry to The Mint and the Caroline Simpson Library, you can enjoy your lunch and a breath of fresh air in the quiet city escape that is the gardens.
Free Tour at PNSW
Finish your break with a stop to Parliament of New South Wales. Located on Macquarie Street, The Parliament of NSW is Australia’s first and oldest parliament. Join every Monday and Friday at 1:30pm for a free guided tour - a unique opportunity to view the chambers in session, meet Members of Parliament, or, on non-sitting days, take a seat in the historic chambers yourself.
