The best restaurants Sydney

Claire's Kitchen skilfully combines traditional French brasserie with modern, refined cuisine. The cocktails are sophisticated and original. The restaurant team provides impeccable, attentive service in French in a warm, chic setting. The dessert cart will not leave you indifferent. If you're in Sydney on a Sunday evening, book Salon Dada for an evening of cabaret and surrealistic dining, which we'd rather let you discover.

Mamak refers to the stalls found in Malaysia, serving stews, vegetables, fried fish etc. Mamak offers the opportunity to see two of the most impressive cooking shows: the making of teh tarik and roti canai. Teh tarik is a sweet milk tea, which is spilled from one pot to another by pulling it almost a meter long through the air. The roti canai is a dough that is kneaded and then turned from one hand to the other so that it becomes a huge circle of thin dough before being toasted on a pan.

In the heart of Sydney, Bistro Papillon is a tasty French restaurant with a beautiful wine list. Fine selection of French cuisine with specialties such as raclette, onion soup, coq au vin, boeuf bourguignon, cassoulet, fourme d'Ambert, profiteroles... All the classics! And of course, as a starter, the unavoidable baguette of bread and its semi-salted butter, or the plate of cold cuts. Some vegetarian and gluten-free dishes. An excellent address for those nostalgic for France and its gastronomy.

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.

If you likeseafood and other iodized delights, push the doors of Bondi Surf Seafoods. This famous Bondi institution offers fish of the day, fish and chips, sushi, fried squid, crab, shrimp, salmon, lobster, salads: a wide range of fresh seafood to take away or to enjoy on the spot in front of Bondi beach: the ideal picnic! The portions are generous and the freshness of the products is impeccable. Fast and efficient service! Be careful though, prices are constantly rising.

Mahogany wood, chandeliers, chocolate brown leather banquettes, chiseled bronze, a gigantic glass wall for a 360-degree view of Sydney. The breathtaking view at night gives it a false reputation as a tourist trap, but this extravagant restaurant offers a remarkable menu crafted by renowned chefs who rely on seasonal produce to create a menu that skillfully combines traditional flavors with a French influence. From this vantage point during the day, you can easily see the Blue Mountains.

Thai Riffic is a Thai restaurant chain, so there are several in Sydney, including Cronulla and North Sydney. However, this address in Newtown is our favorite. The dishes are very good and spicy. The interior decoration is sumptuous, and the outdoor courtyard is very pleasant on the summer evenings.

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.

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.

Traditional Italian cuisine, with good things like fresh bread and good coffee, not necessarily obvious to find in Sydney! Recommended reservation.

A warm atmosphere. The chef devant your dishes, on a large grill grill, before playing with you…

Small Italian café-restaurant. Always crowded, therefore risk of waiting.

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 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. Its "takeaway" stand gives access to the pleasant dining room, where you can sit either at a table or at the counter. In the latter case, you're seated in front of a conveyor belt on which a whole assortment of Asian dishes is paraded, with the color of the dish indicating the price. It's fun, fairly inexpensive and very tempting...

Nicknamed "small Asia" in Sydney, it is not a restaurant but the main, pedestrian and shady street of Chinatown, where a multitude of dishes offer you different dishes from almost all Asian countries. Clients, mainly immigrants but also Australians or Asians, are also a guarantee of quality. We eat well for cheap with a very wide variety of ingredients. A Malaysian laksa assam, the kway kway Singapore, a soup tom khar hai Thai, etc. This is not the choice that is missing.

Located on the harbor and with a nice terrace, we will choose this restaurant for its excellent location on the promenade of Cockle Bay. Simple and tasty seafood platters, grilled fish or oysters... the menu guarantees an irreproachable freshness to its products. The more meat lovers can also eat good steaks grilled on the barbecue. However, victim of its success, the queue and the wait are sometimes long.

When it opened in the 1960s, the Malaya was renowned for its very special Malaysian cuisine, Nyonya, a spicy dish typical of the famous city of Malacca. Today, all the region's specialties are served here, from beef redang to laksa curry and char kway teow. Waiters like to recommendotak otak, a kind of fish pate spiced with chilli and wrapped in banana leaves. Let their advice inspire you to discover this sumptuous cuisine.

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. From the terrace, you can take a look at the pool, which blends in perfectly with the rocks, and which the waves fill and empty without ever tiring. The menu focuses on fish and seafood, as well as classic Australian dishes. A special mention for the desserts. Very professional service.
