The Galileo restaurant is situated in the 5 star Observatory Hotel. The rich tapestries and antiques evoke old world charm in the restaurant. The atmosphere is reminiscent of dinning in a grand European salon. It is quiet elegance combined with informal Australian dinning. The menu is menu created with Japanese and French influences. Theses are represented in dishes such as lobster salad with cauliflower cream and orange powder. The restaurant is the best of the past fused with the present.

Innovative cuisine with recession-friendly prices make Galileo a royal treat.
MASAHIKO YOMODA'S mille-feuille of crab with avocado and tomato coulis first impressed me at a $600 Iron Chef dinner late last year. It was the first dish in a seven-course extravaganza that pitted the new kid in The Rocks against chefs Sakai and Chen (yes, from the television show). Masahiko-san, Galileo's new chef, explained in a poetically Japanese way that the dish's inspiration came from boats on Sydney Harbour in the evening light. It's an evocative combination of creamy avocado, sweet crab and sherry-vinegar-sharp tomato with a translucent prawn and rice "cracker", like a sail, on top.
