About Midden by Mark Olive

At the Sydney Opera House, Midden by Mark Olive offers a deeply rooted culinary experience shaped by Indigenous Australian heritage. The menu celebrates native ingredients — from wattle seed and bush honey to saltbush, pepperberries, and coastal succulents — crafted into vibrant, contemporary dishes that honour thousands of years of culture. Inspired by the site’s history as a traditional gathering place for storytelling and ceremony, Midden invites guests to connect with Country through flavour, texture, and aroma. With its produce-focused approach and Mark Olive’s signature creativity, the restaurant delivers a meaningful taste of Australia’s oldest food traditions in an iconic harbour setting.
