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.

Sailor's Rest is located in one of Geelong's most pleasant spots: on the waterfront between the marina and Cunningham Pier.

The dishes are quite classic, some with Italian flavors, and they are copious.

Contemporary Japanese cuisine. This is the best of this kind in Sydney.

Very good Indian restaurant with magnificent views of the city. Fine cuisine. The khoorus poulet chicken is "to die for".

Levee Food Co is located on the banks of the North Esk River, near its confluence with the Tamar River. Seafood and pizzas rub shoulders with other dishes with a Mediterranean accent but also fish & chips, inevitable in Australia. The room is pleasant but its comfort cannot bring as much pleasure as that provided by a meal on the terrace. This one is ideally located in front of the river and the pedestrian footbridge which links the two banks. A good address, especially for those staying at the nearby Peppers Seaport Hotel.

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.

A small Japanese restaurant in the heart of Kings Cross, offering a pleasant break in the middle of this busy district. It's part of a chain that you'll find elsewhere in the city.

It's fun, fairly inexpensive and very tempting...

A few tables outside allow you to enjoy your meal, snack or sweet in the open air...

The most coveted vantage point for watching the surfers on Bondi Beach. This restaurant literally seems to plunge into the sea, overlooking the ocean like no other in Sydney.

The food menu features seasonal, quality products prepared with great skill, and the wine list offers an impressive choice.

It's an unlikely place that mixes retro motorcycles, an imposing café-restaurant and accessories (Parisian helmets, gloves, beatnik sunglasses, chukka boots).

You can sit everywhere between a look at the bikes and a chat with friends over coffee, fried eggs, goat cheese or salmon salads, ciabatta or pastries. The food is hearty but simple.

You come for the vegetarian food before going upstairs to relax, digest and sink into the cinema beds and its big cushions that allow you to watch the latest blockbusters or art house movies, in a small and very comfortable room. It feels a bit like home. The dhal, a chickpea curry mixed with vegetables, is an excellent choice that goes perfectly with potatoes and cauliflower.

This restaurant is one of the most frequented by Sydney's golden youth and models, and has certainly played an important role in the city's gastronomic scene.
