The best Australian restaurants New South Wales

Wonderful view of the Opera and Coathanger and a service without fault

The Beach Hotel has become the most famous pub in Byron Bay and is a must for locals and tourists alike. The relaxed atmosphere, the quality of the service and the cuisine are obviously the reasons for such a success. Many pizzas (wood-fired) are offered on the menu, as well as several types of meats and salads, without forgetting the indestructible Fish & Chips. Special attention is paid to gluten-free foods. The live evening program can be consulted on the establishment's website.

Located on the 41st and last floor of the Chifley Tower (where its name), this restaurant is a jewel steeped in a sumptuous setting.

Better bistro in this trendy neighborhood. Average age 35 years.

A Watsons Bay landmark, Doyle's on the Beach is a family-owned restaurant that opened in 1885 and the same family (Doyle's) continues to serve seafood from generation to generation. Located in the heart of a park that is both policed and wild, just yards from the beach and the water, it is one of the most romantic places in town. Try the delicious paella! For those who come from the city center, you can get there by ferry.

There's no fuss in this small but friendly restaurant, perfect for breakfast or a late-night meal. A wide choice of pancakes, but also suitably topped pizzas and a whole selection of meats. You're right in the center of Sydney, in the much-loved The Rocks, the city's oldest district. All you have to do is walk a few meters down Playfair Street to get to Circular Quay, or climb the steps in front of you to reach the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

A real institution in Sydney since 1921, this old renovated pub is one of the last buildings to have survived the era before the construction of the Harbour Bridge on Cumberland Street. The food is what you would expect from this type of establishment: rather classic but hearty. Wide range of beers on tap. What sets the Glenmore apart from any other place in the Rocks is that you have one of the best views of Sydney Harbour from its rooftop terrace. Busy rooftop.

In a trendy setting, the Bayswater Brasserie offers a variety of cooked dishes. Try oysters in the bar in the meantime. Specialty is salmon with herbs.

Hosted by the famous chef Damien Pignolet, this restaurant never disappoints with its simple but superbly executed dishes. Exceptional desserts. Refined clientele.

It's impossible to talk about the best restaurants in Sydney without mentioning Rockpool, hosted by famous chef Neil Perry, one of the creators of modern Australian cuisine. Three stars at the Michelin Guide.

If you want the Quintessential experience in Sydney, don't look for any more. Enjoy delicious cuisine combined with unforgettable views of the Opera.

This chain of restaurants has other addresses at Broadway and Double Bay. We have been eating well for 36 years that coffee is open and maintained by a New Zealand patron.

Want to enjoy a good tagine or couscous? This restaurant is the address not to be missed in Sydney. The chicken tagine is delicious.

The wine tasting menu Outback is exceptional. It will make you discover unique Australian flavours (emu, kangaroo, crocodile) cooked perfectly for AU $ 100, wine included.

The chef and owner, Tim Pak Poy, regularly sees his institution as one of Sydney's best restaurants. Reservation indispensable.

A little way from downtown and Potts Point, the Wooloomooloo district nevertheless offers a number of pleasant restaurants. The Woolly Bay Hotel (formerly the Wooloomooloo Hotel) is located opposite the Finger Wharf (with higher-priced restaurants). You'll appreciate the quiet atmosphere on the first floor. This is where the main courses (burgers, pizzas, salads) are served, and they're all very good. For more delicate dishes, served as cocktails, you can head to the top level. The rooftop there is extremely inviting.

The Bulli Beach Cafe is located at Sandon Point, the place where ships loaded with coal from the Bulli mine left in the last century, transported by horse-drawn streetcars. All that has changed, and the place is almost heavenly with beautiful views of the ocean and the Tasman Sea. The dishes presented are simple (burgers, salads...) but copious and of good quality. You can enjoy them in the dining room or on the shaded terrace. A few steps away, a swimming pool dug in the beach allows you to take a dip in complete safety.

The clientele is mainly made up of tourists who come after a show at the Opera. The selection of more than 350 wines, mostly Australian wines, will delight connoisseurs. Reservation indispensable.

Here you can taste a traditional Australian beef meat with small potato peas and purée. This iconic Store store was opened in 1954 and continues to attract the world.

A wooden farm shed, a large parking lot, scattered open-air tables and an old truck loaded with huge logs as a backdrop - that's the first sight on arriving here. Hillbily Cider is a cider house and restaurant where it's good to stop on the Bells Line of Road. As many of you already know, it's a popular spot, especially at weekends. The cider served is excellent and so is the pizza (the only dish) that accompanies it. We'll be back for more! And you can also buy cider and bottles of wine in the store.
