Sydney’s best kept secret, Ikaria is a Mediterranean inspired haven that captures the essence of the famous Greek island known for connection, community and longevity. Loved by locals and visitors alike, it pairs warm hospitality with panoramic ocean views and a menu that transports you straight to the Mediterranean.
At the heart of Ikaria is husband and wife duo, joined by an outstanding kitchen team led by executive chef Ivan Sanchez. With more than 15 years experience (including time in one of Sydney’s most acclaimed restaurants – Porteño), Ivan brings a fresh, elevated take on Mediterranean Meze.
Drawing from his Spanish heritage, he’s created a generous, share-style menu that’s bold, refined, and deeply satisfying. Highlights include the honey-drizzled saganaki, slow-cooked lamb shoulder with whipped tahini, and a baklava-inspired cocktail that’s already become a cult favourite.
