Sydney’s Wide Range Of Fabulous Restaurants And Cuisines

Sydney has a lot to offer when it comes to cafes, restaurants and pubs. The rich diversity of the city’s population is reflected in its eating establishments - you’ll feel like you have an entire atlas to choose from! Whether you’re in favor of local Australian food or something a bit more exotic from the corners of the world, you’ll find it in Sydney.

Want to try traditional Australian food? Consider a trip to Harry’s Cafe de Wheels - they’re rumored to have the best meat pies in town. If you’d like to try bush-tucker - Aboriginal food featuring kangaroo and other unusual ingredients - you’ll find it at a number of select restaurants. While it’s only been legal to serve kangaroo since 1993, its popularity has grown with tourists who want to give it a try.

Sydney’s harbor means that many restaurants serve seafood exclusively, and it’s a staple for many others. Leading restaurants that specialize in seafood include Five Dock Seafood Cafe and Fishface. You’ll be able to try fresh snapper, mussels, barramundi, octopus, squid and prawns, all thanks to the Sydney Fish Market, located nearby.

The king of seafood restaurants in Sydney remains Doyles Hotel. It’s the oldest seafood establishment in town, and it offers a great view of Watsons Bay from its location on the beachside.

If you’re looking for Italian food in Sydney, consider Gelbison or Mezzaluna. For great pasta, look at Norton Street in the Leichhardt inner city, in the area that’s also called Little Italy. A strong Italian influence is present in the fashionable cafes of Sydney, too. There are many to choose from on Potts Point, Bondi Beach and Darlinghurst.

Some locations known for their trendiness and great coffee include Tropicana, Bills, La Buvette and Bar Coluzzi.

There’s more than just Italian food, too. European influence shows up in Bistro Moncur and Sel et Poivre - two popular French establishments. Greek food is available at Mykonos, and Spanish cuisine at Capitan Torres. Both are popular with visitors and locals, too. Looking for great Eastern European food? Try Corner 75.

For excellent Asian food from countries throughout the world, you can choose from a wide variety of restaurants. The Blue Elephant, Lebanon and Beyond, Chinta Ria and Malaya are just a few of the wonderful options available.

Lovers of Japanese food will be happy to know that Sydney can provide sashimi and sushi, teriyaki, tempura, and noodles. Check out Dragonfly, Raw Bra, Shimbashi or Sushi Shima.

For restaurant hoppers, each district offers a little something different. In the west suburbs, Turkish and Cambodian restaurants are great choices, while the south suburbs offer Lebanese and Greek food. In the north, expect great Japanese, African, and Indian restaurants, and European and Indonesian establishments to the south.

Want a great view as well as great food? The Summit, Catalina, and the Boathouse are excellent choices. For vegetarians, try Harvest and Govindas, and trendseekers may wish to investigate Hugos and Bayswater Brasserie Restaurant.
