Sydney Restaurants

If you think Sydney is defined solely by its iconic harbour views, Bondi Beach and Sydney Opera House, think again. Sydney is home to lavish restaurants which will dazzle your senses and leave you wanting more. Sydney offers a diverse selection of dining establishments for those who appreciate the finer things in life, enough to pique the interest of even the most discriminating foodie. Sydney restaurants and cafes range from bustling harbour-side hubs to suburban eateries and there is not a suburb in Sydney that does not radiate its own distinctive character and culinary individuality. Whether you are looking for fine dining by the harbour, or traditional pub grub in Surry Hills, world-class restaurant options abound.
