Open Sesame Sydney

Last updated April 2026

Open Sesame Sydney turns mealtime into a magical adventure where little ones are the stars. This kid friendly restaurant in the heart of Sydney transforms lunch and dinner into a stage where favourite Sesame Street characters pop up to greet kids from the walls and surprise them at their table. The menu is packed with healthy, colourful dishes designed to look just as fun as a puppet show — think rainbow veggie pasta, chicken nuggets shaped like Elmo, and mini fruit platters that would make Oscar the Grouch grin. Parents love the relaxed vibe, quick service, and the fact that it’s one of the few spots in Sydney where kids can actually look forward to eating their greens. It’s more than just a meal — it’s a memory in the making, especially for families chasing the perfect balance between convenience and fun. **What to Bring** A camera or phone for photos with the characters. Light layers — the restaurant can get warm with all the energy. A small toy or book to keep little ones entertained while waiting. Reusable water bottle to refill at the kid-friendly stations. **Best Age Range** Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers aged 1 to 7 years. Great for siblings to share the fun. **Good to Know** Weekday lunches are quieter than evenings. Bookings recommended on weekends and during school holidays. Free parking nearby is limited — consider the Wilson Parking at The Rocks for ease. Allergy-friendly options are clearly marked on the menu. **Nearby** Stroll 5 minutes to The Rocks playground for some post-meal playtime. **Tips From Other Parents** Go early on weekends — it gets packed by 10am. Bring a spare change of clothes, kids always end up eating with their hands. Don’t miss the dessert — the Cookie Monster milkshake is a hit with the under-5s.
