Restaurants in Sydney

Cosmopolitan Sydney offers plenty in the way of world-class restaurants. A city specialty is the ‘Mod Oz’ cuisine, which combines European and Asian styles, and is well-known for its tantalising hold on taste buds. Certain areas of Sydney are dedicated to one particular type of cuisine, while others offer a huge variety where everything from Russian and German to Thai and Cantonese can be found. The main dining areas in the centre of Sydney are The Rocks, Circular Quay, Darling Harbour and Chinatown.

There are no mandatory gratuities, but tipping for good service is always appreciated.
