Sydney is a foodie’s paradise and there are certain trends such as destination dining that are rapidly picking up pace in the city. Here’s a look-see into some of the easy-commute destinations in and around Sydney.
All of the city's alleys and streets, especially the ever-enchanting harbour lodging the famous Sydney dinner cruises, are peppered with countless eateries and restaurants that spruce up the city’s culinary diversity. Sydneysiders love dining out and there is no doubt that they are spoilt for choice. And as this trend of al fresco dining is rapidly expanding, there is also a rising preference for destination dining among the city-dwellers. Travelling a few miles away from the city for a good meal is not a big deal anymore and here are some of the most travelled to food destinations in and around Sydney.
Sydney Harbour
Let’s start with one of the most popular dining destinations in Sydney: Sydney Harbour. Being one of the most crowded locations in Sydney, the Harbour is home to numerous high-end restaurants that offer unique and exciting dining options. But here is one you cannot resist: Sydney Harbour dinner cruises. Hailed for their exclusivity and quality of service, these luxury cruises have won the hearts of both the locals and tourists alike. You can get onboard one of these cruises to enjoy a leisurely trip across the calm waters of Sydney Harbour and enjoy close-up views of Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. Imagine dining on board a dinner cruise in Sydney, wrapped in luxury, while you take in the dazzling night views on Sydney Harbour. Choose a glass boat dinner cruise package for an impeccable and sophisticated experience in Sydney. With a delicious degustation menu and stunning views on offer, the glass boat celebrates the joy of cruise dining on one of the prettiest destinations in the world. For those who don’t have long hours to spare to travel miles, this is perfect for you!
Blue Mountains
Moving further away from the busier parts of the city, there are some destinations that are hard to reach but totally worth it. Such as the Blue Mountains, which is nearly a 1-hour drive from Sydney. Once you arrive here, there are cosy restaurants and spaces that serve unique dining experiences such as dining on a vine-canopied terrace that overlooks the lush vegetation down below. One such place is The Potager Mount Tomah, which is a chic indoor-outdoor dining space that looks out to the botanic gardens. This place is best-known for their lunch and breakfast, so we suggest that you set out early to experience the best.
Surry Hills
If you’re a hardcore foodie, Surry Hills in Sydney is one place you shouldn’t miss. From Japanese to Lebanese food, the choices here will entice anyone and everyone to get exploring. Eat the world famous scrambled eggs from Bills Surry Hills at 335 Crown Street or taste the best gelato in Australia at Messina’s at 389 Crown Street before you start exploring the other eateries. Surry Hills is also known for the many pubs and clubs that sell delicious Australian wines, whisky, beer and more. Surry Hills is also Sydney’s promise to keep all the tourists on the land well-fed and happy, as you’ll find almost all cuisines in the world here.
Another top-notch destination that is lauded for their food and drinks is Scarborough Hotel, an old-fashioned pub with amazing cliff-views and a serene and stress-free environment. A 1-hour drive from Sydney through the laid-back beach suburbs of Brighton-le-Sands and leafy Royal National Park will bring you to this peaceful haven of a land. Plan a road trip with your family or friends to come here for a splendid day’s experience. The Newport, Park House Food & Liquor, Scarborough Hotel and South on Albany are some of the other names to add to your list.
