Where to Eat and Drink in Sydney
We’re not food critics or Instagram influencers—we’re passionate Sydney locals who love exploring our city’s food scene. While our photos might not always be perfect, our recommendations come from genuine experience and countless meals shared across Sydney’s tables. We give honest, practical advice about where and what to eat in Sydney.
Our recommendations are regularly updated and thoroughly tested (sometimes more times than our waistlines would like). Whether you’re planning a special celebration or just want a great pub meal, we’ll help you find the right spot.

We’ve covered the time-sensitive events — a rotating truffle menu at Sydney Common, a new pasta bar with 40-year-old recipes at a third of the price you’d expect, and Father’s Day celebrations running through the first week of September on harbour views, at pubs, and in fine dining rooms across the city.
