Foods and Eateries that Make Sydney Truly Special

Sydney, Australia is known for its sunny weather, stunning beaches and iconic landmarks.  Travelers from across the globe visit to see the beauty Sydney beholds.  However, there are also plenty of wonderful foods and eateries that dot the city.  Here are few you won’t want to miss:

Cuppa at The Grounds of Alexandria

Walk the grounds (pun intended) at this coffee shop and café which features a little farm and enclave.  It’s a wonderful way to start the morning – or take a break in the middle of the day for lunch.

Ricotta Pancakes and Scrambled Eggs at Bills

No matter how you normally enjoy your eggs at breakfast, Bills will convert you into a scrambled eggs lover!  They feature the thickest, crispiest toast and the creamiest scrambled eggs…ever. Be sure to try the ricotta pancakes with honeycomb butter, and you’ll soon be a breakfast all-day around convert.

Meat Pies at Harry’s Café Dé Wheels
Whether you want classics like peas, sausage and potatoes, or prefer something a little bolder like curry chicken, Harry’s has a meat pie for you.  This is not fancy dining, but rather a great meal option when on the go.

Sausage Rolls at Bourke Street Bakery
While some say that Harry’s has the best meat pies, others argue that Bourke Street Bakery is one that must be included in the list as well.  What makes Bourke Street truly special is the extra care in the ingredients such as lamb, almond and harissa.  Of course, you may want to sample a few of the bakery’s sweet pastries too!

Fresh Seafood at Sydney Fish Market
The Sydney Fish Market is known around the world for the freshest seafood and with good reason!  You’ll not want to miss the experience of the market, but to truly get the full sense of the market’s freshness, pick your meal and the chefs at the market will prepare it.  Don’t forget about the appetizers while you wait.

Damper at Baker’s Delight
Once a staple of workers, this soda bread is a bit more fancy today and pairs perfectly with tea, or even a splash of rum.  Bread lovers beware!  Baker’s Delight has plenty of freshly baked artisan breads ranging from classic favorites to new flavors such as chia and fruit.

Watermelon and Strawberry Cake at Black Star Pastry
Black Star Pastry is known for its many treats, but the best known is its watermelon and strawberry cake.  This light cake is big on flavor.  It sells out quickly so be sure to arrive early if you want to get a slice!

Seared Kangaroo Loin at I’m Angus Steakhouse
The Aussie’s enjoy a good steak and the national animal is no exception.  Kangaroo is extremely low fat, similar to buffalo making it ideal for those looking for an alternative to the more fat-rich beef steak.  Served medium rare, the seared kangaroo loin at I’m Angus Steakhouse is served with red wine au jus and a sweet potato fritter.

Confit of Ocean Trout at Tetsuya’s
Considered the world’s most photographed dish¹, Tetsuya’s Confit of Ocean Trout isn’t just a work of art, it’s simply delicious.  The restaurant’s signature dish, this trout is delicately cooked in oil, seasoned then artistically displayed among a bed of pale green radicchio, apple with a small mound of ocean trout caviar.  Impeccable.

Date Tart at Rockpool
While this confection might seem a bit retro (because it is), those who experience this treat are in for quite a surprise.  It’s simple, yet everything that other desserts aren’t—the perfect balance of sweet creamy and delightful.  It’s best eaten at room temperature and with a glass of port or tea.

Whether you are looking for a quick bite to eat or for a truly memorable dining experience, Sydney’s food scene has a variety of options.  From a morning cuppa to an evening dessert with a glass of port, you’ll find something special and memorable in this seaside city.
