About Alegre

Alegre Bar & Dining is Sydney's most exciting upmarket Mexican restaurant, perched above Darling Harbour with sweeping water views and a luxe Caribbean-inspired interior. Our menu blends native Mexican ingredients—like pasilla chiles and pozole corn, with bold Australian produce such as finger lime, saltbush, and local seafood. Inspired by the vibrant energy of Tulum, Alegre is a place to unwind, celebrate, and indulge, from bottomless brunches to sunset cocktails with resident DJs. We celebrate diversity through harmony, bringing together influences, styles, and people to create unforgettable experiences.
