This funky new bistro is a bit French, a bit somewhere else, and a whole lot of Newtown
The loft space above Odd Culture becomes the dark and moody Bistro Grenier.

This sunny cafe is a tranquil oasis serving coffee custard and honeycomb espresso
Menu stars at serene and clean-lined Alexandria cafe Ellen include a cracking fish burger and a brilliant emerald halloumi and pea salad.

Josh Niland’s tasting menu showcases the near-limitless potential of fish. But it’s not all livers and eyes and “oh, my!”

If you’ve ever searched ‘harbourside restaurants with a view’ this revamped diner will float your boat
Sails had recently had a major renovation, and now feels like a relaxed luxury weekender where you’ll want to linger.

From breakfast to late-night lattes, this all-day eatery is a buzzy beachside spot
Makaveli Bondi’s footpath window bench is the perfect perch, day or night, to enjoy a chia bowl or a plate of silky beef carpaccio.

The pasta might have caught your attention, but there are other delights at Attenzione!
The wine bar-restaurant is big on personality and flavour, plus great cocktails, mystery wine and head-scratching dish names.

‘Make a mess’: This beachside bolthole puts the fun into fine dining
Head chef Luke Churchill’s menu is simultaneously serious and playful, running from sultry little snacks to big-ticket, kick-up-your-heels items.

Street-food feasts for under $10 a head make this suburban spot a winner
For incredibly cheap Korean cooking, such as tteokbokki, fried chicken and wobbly milk bunnies, it’s hard to go past this Strathfield hot spot.

Getcha self to this fun gacha spot for snacks that taste just like Japan
Visiting this George Street spot is like cracking open a toy capsule as it swooshes down the machine.

‘One to watch and then some’: Two-hatted newcomer is fancy, but also a lot of fun
Allta is one of Sydney’s best new restaurants to open this year. It’s also the most expensive.
