    Dotted Line

    Sydney is replete with over 3,000 restaurants, brigades of world-class chefs, a rich array of fresh local produce (including kangaroo, snapper, barramundi, emu or crocodile). As well as excellent food there are also gallons of great national wines with which to wash it all down. As a general rule you will find the most lauded of the fine dining establishments that specialize in Modern Australian cuisine in and around Circular Quay, The Rocks, the CBD and Darling Harbour, however pockets of international speciality abound, from chow mien in Chinatown to pasta in Paddington. Sydney’s thriving café culture is centred around the suburbs of Darlinghurst, Glebe, Newtown and the eastern beaches of Bondi and Bronte, which are also perfect locations for a congenial Sunday brunch. Choose from seafood and views from Doyle’s on the beach in Watson’s Bay, a cruise of the menus one evening along Newton’s King Street (full of character), a night out overlooking Darling Harbour (very moderne) or a leisurely breakfast at Bondi or Bronte (so Sydney).

    The cheapest eateries in Circular Quays are to be found around the ferry terminals but unless you are desperate or want to put your cholesterol levels off the scale, these are best avoided.

    Vegetarians should perhaps avoid Chinatown restaurants since they are not shy about displaying various sea creatures in squalid tanks prior to being boiled alive for your gastronomic pleasure.

    Glebe is home to many laid-back cafés and good pubs and in many ways the same applies to Newtown, except that Kings Street also has no end of attractive little restaurants offering everything from curry to charred emu. If you have time a night cruising the menus of Kings Street is an experience in itself.

    Kings Cross and Woolloomooloo offer eclectic choices, from the fast food outlets of Kings Cross, to the chic and expensive options to be found along The Wharf at Woolloomooloo.

    Although receiving less attention than the eccentricities of Glebe and Newtown, Leichhardt is well known for its Italian connections and subsequently its eateries and cafés. There are numerous places to enjoy a fine espresso, gelato or the full lasagne, with Norton Street the main focus, Very trendy, quality Italian with an imaginative menu which is thriving in the conglomerate of restaurants that are the focus of the new Woolloomooloo Wharf renovations. Exquisite seafood pastas and all the necessary trimmings, including and some very extrovert waiters.
