Frequently Asked Questions about Sydney
What food can I expect to eat in Sydney?
Diversity is the name of the game when it comes to eating in Sydney. The choice of fine dining restaurants is only limited by the imagination, with the world’s top chefs delivering diverse menus for every palette. The fact that there’s such a range of styles and influences comes down to the plethora of international dishes brought by its immigrant population (particularly from Asia) and the variety of Australian produce. Sydney is a region particularly known for its rock oysters. The popular Australian 'barbie' is as much about meat on a barbecue as it is an excuse to have a social occasion.
