Harbourside favourite Pier Dining and Bar always does some fun stuff for summer, and this year they've introduced a playful yet delicious spin on the Big Mac. Cheekily named 'the Bug Mac-ish', it's crumbed Moreton Bay bug with tangy Big Mac-like sauce, lettuce, pickles and cheese on a burger bun. You can order it on its own, or level up with their luxe 'Happy Meal', with fries and a glass of French Champagne (Perrier Jouët, no less). The Happy Meal will set you back $65. And we can confirm that this offering, eaten against the backdrop of Sydney Harbour down there at Millers Point, is a very happy meal indeed.

They also serve all the classics – expect starters like Sydney rock oysters, charred Fremantle octopus, and Blackmore Wagyu tartare on brioche. The mains dial up the indulgence factor with blue swimmer crab alla vodka with rigatoni, a 600g 30-day aged grass-fed ribeye and Butterflied Bannockburn chicken from the grill.

And they have a banging 'Sunset Hour' – from 5-6pm Monday to Friday, you can get $2 oysters and $12 cocktails (Negronis, Margaritas and an Old Fashioned). Oh, and $5 doglatos for your furry friend.
