Devine is one of the city’s most established wine bars, on the corner of Market Street and Clarence Street, in the heart of Sydney CBD and a short stroll to the QVB, State Theatre and Town Hall.
Devine is the spot to find tapas, Italian-inspired a la carte and an excellent wine by the glass selection. Long known for it’s popular lunches and after work eats, you’ll see the hustle and bustle of the city coming in to wind down; sinking into the banquettes or sitting up at the bar with some share plates.
Freshly shucked Sydney Rock Oysters, zucchini flowers and artisan salumi boards might be the best way to start.
Then any of the daily house made pastas, market fresh fish of the day, or the Wagyu Steak are a must!

Choose from over 400 wines on the Award winning wine list at Devine - with 40 available by the glass! European grape varieties and natural wine producers aplenty.

At just a stone’s throw from Darling Harbour, Devine is a must for corporate meals, social & family celebrations

We are regular customers because De Vine offer a great combination of excellent food, wine and service. Our latest visit was really great and we shared a variety of dishes that were all top quality - my personal favourite was the risotto but the scallops came a very close second. We enjoyed a delightful bottle of wine and the table staff and the sommelier were on the ball throughout our evening. You should definitely try this out if you like good food and want to be able to select from a great wine list!

Sydney CBD high price poor value. Cotoleto was chewy, pasta too salted. We did not even stay for desert… Very noisy and resonating. There is a reason they give a discount.

de Vine is fast becoming a Sydney staple for great food and wine. To the many regulars, it's a home away from home. To the newcomers, they'll quickly feel at home and not want to leave.

If you're looking for an unforgettable Italian dining experience, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit! From the moment you step in, the warm ambiance and impeccable service set the tone for an exceptional meal. Start with the crudo—so fresh it practically melts in your mouth—and the perfectly seared scallops, which are a testament to the chef's artistry. For the main course, the risotto is creamy, rich, and bursting with flavour, while the pappardelle, is a pasta lover's dream. And don’t leave without trying their tiramisu; it’s a masterpiece and the best one I have tasted. This is Italian cuisine at its finest, and I’d recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat!

We loved the seafood risotto. It was made with prawns and australian meriton bugs (small lobster). Meatballs were from the chefs grandmother in italy, yummy. The wine selection was awesome.

Always amazing food, a 9pm sitting was arranged and we were seated quickly and water served immediately. The wine list is extensive and good. The food is beautifully served with fresh local ingredients which shows and tasted (as always) incredible. The ambience is always lively - even at lunchtime but never over noisy or loud. Not for everyone - the price point can be high depending on wine but it is certainly our pick of Italian in Sydney.
