Sydney is a gorgeous city, with amazing architecture, scenery, lifestyle and food. I spent about 2 years living there and loved it. There are a load of cool reasons to visit this beautiful city because it is the perfect getaway with family, friends and even alone if you enjoy your own company or need some time off from everything. And one of the most amazing aspects and highlights of Sydney is perhaps the food. It is not surprising that many Michelin star chefs originate from Australia because people in Sydney know their food very well and accept nothing but the best, which works well for travellers who come from all over the world to enjoy the city.

Quay

Ever heard of Peter Gilmore? If you are a foodie, you know him as a nature-lover, because that is who he is. Peter loves to take fresh rare ingredients and make unbelievable, full of aroma and exotic flavored food from them. The produce which he uses at Quay is grown in the organic farms of Blue Mountains, one of Australia’s finest destinations for everything related to food, and it is all produced organically. All this is combined with a beautiful ambience and scenery overlooking the ocean. This is one place which is not to be missed when in Sydney, Australia.

The lunch at Quay is a three course meal at AUD $135 per person (a four course meal option is available at AUD $155 per person). The dinner at Quay is a four course mean at AUD $175 per person.

Pancakes on the Rocks

We had a cool staff night out at this place so I have to have it on the list. Great pancakes and even some cool Mexican food plus beers, great milkshakes and the excellent location – by the Rocks!

This is one of the cheaper restaurants in this area, with pancakes starting at 15AUD.
