Sydney- where to eat?
Going to be in Sydney a lot over the next half a year.
Looking for good recommendations of places to eat.
Can and and will travel around. Looking for a variety breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Cheap local, less cheap more special and a couple of higher end ones when I feel like I want to celebrate.
I normally stay either next to darling harbour, or if I am there longer I will rent a place in Surry Hills.
So throw your recommendations down.
The notable places I have visited already are:
Mr Wong’s
Farmhouse, Kings Cross
Aqua
Also good quick places to eat when I am in a rush at night near why I am staying in Darling Harbour would also be appreciated.
Thanks

If you are in SYD at the end of May welcome to come to Oz Fest 16. Some locals may attend a few activities (mainly meals/drinks)

LoLuk Bistro - the authentic southern French cuisine

Chin Chin is pretty good too, although it's probably not a great solo dining option and can feel a bit like you're eating in a nightclub. I'd suggest for quick meals at night the local pub will be the best option.

When I'm solo I'll usually pick a pub, rare to get a bad meal in any pub in Sydney.

Loluk can be a bit noisy if you sit inside, outside at the back is nice and one of the two tables at the front is good for people watching. I've never eaten there alone but I'd feel comfortable doing so.

I’ve been away for a while and the first places we’ll visit are Botanist in kirribilli, Hojiak in Haymarket and Archie rose in Rosebery(not exactly a restaurant but they do have food and black star and Messina are next door). They’re not the best places in Sydney but after being away for a while they’re the places we’re most craving. Being north shore based I’ll also say Rice Den in St Leonards, Yang and co in Willoughby and Annata in Crows Nest (particularly Monday night)

- Nomad (Surry Hills)
Casual but slightly pricier (bistro type)

- Chefs Gallery
Breakfast and cheap places
- Mamak (Chinatown Malay food)
- Bambini Trust

Up until December I used to work in Surry Hills so I have a special Surry Hills list:
- Suzuya (cheap big portions but quality Japanese)
- Pasta Emilia (hand made pasta trattoria)
- Nomad (see above)
- Reuben Hills (modern brunch i.e. notch above just eggs on toast)
- Paramount Coffee Project (modern brunch)
- Cuckoo Callay (modern brunch)
- Dove and Olive (good pub grub)
- Bourke Street Bakery (wonderful pies and sausage rolls)
I’ll probably add to this list as I’m on a bus.

I regularly recommend The Australian Hotel at the rocks. It's right at the foot of the stairs to the main deck of the harbour bridge so if you feel like a bit of a walk catch the train (or walk) to Milsons Point and walk over the main deck (maybe 30 mins max). Then on the city side at the foot of the stairs in the Australian Hotel. Scharers Lager is a fantastic beer and they serve a bunch of trendy pizzas including crocodile, kangaroo and emu. Of course when you order the crocodile pizza you're obliged to add "and make it snappy!". They also have an incredible range of bottled beers from around the world. Mid week lunches often need a booking if you want to sit outside (particularly Fridays).
