Sydney Restaurants: Fine Dining, Places to Eat

Restaurants add greatly to the holiday experience and Sydney is never short of eating establishments.

Once, dining in Sydney usually meant heavy, albeit hearty, traditional English and French style cuisine.

Now Sydney dining has a reputation that blends the freshest of foods with the tastes of the regions - Asian, pacific, tropical - with the more traditional European to produce a light, nutritious taste sensation.

Some equate it with Californian style but others believe it to be a style unique to Australia.

What really makes Sydney dining stand out is the diverse mix of cultures and ethnic origins that intermix in this city.

The hot chillies from Indonesia and south-east Asia, curries from south Asia, coconuts from the Pacific, sushi from Japan, bamboo shoots from Vietnam and tomatoes from Italy all add tastes that form a truly unique dining experience.

All the great cuisines of the world can be found in Sydney. If you know what you want, searching on terms like Sydney Italian restaurants makes it easy, but even more so when you use the suburb your in making your search more local to where you are staying. If you like seafood at all, make it a must do while in Australia.

Bring Your Own

It is a long established tradition in Australia to bring your own (B.Y.O) wine. Restaurants here are classified either as B.Y.O. or licensed.

You can purchase wines at hotel and pub bottle shops, or the liquor outlets in every suburb at very reasonable prices. Licensed restaurants normally have a select choice that you can enjoy, but at their prices. At the B.Y.O.’s, there is normally a corkage fee, but again, quite reasonable.
