AmyHuangSURVEY: The Best Places To Eat In Sydney
June 19th 2006 05:33
OK, it's time to get some serious interaction happening here.
I want to know where YOU think the best places to eat are. Hopefully we'll get lots of replies, and see what comes up consistently.
If you've ever read this blog, now's the time to comment. I'm going to leave this up as the first post for a couple of days, and then link back to it each week or so, so we have continuous discussion and debate.
I want to hear about that fantastic restaurant you went to for your birthday, or where you take your friends from overseas. I want to know about that little hole in the wall where you eat lunch every day, or get take away from every Friday night. Tell me what you think is the best that's out there.
We're going to work with three categories:
1) The Best Restaurant In Sydney
This is the best that Sydney has to offer, all things considered. The pinnacle of Sydney dining, what you feel is the best in Sydney. Can be from any price range, and although you might want to consider value, it probably won't have the deciding influence.
2) The Best Value Restaurant
This restaurant offers the best value for money. It might be cheap or expensive, but either way, it's fantastic value, and you feel happy going there because you always get your moneys worth.
3) Your Favourite Restaurant
This is the place where you most love to go, and wish you could go to every day (or perhaps you do). From any price range, it's where you feel most comfortable, where you enjoy eating at regularly, the restaurant that's closest to you calling it your own. Really, I don't need to explain 'favourite' any more than that.
The answer in each category might be the same; or they might all be different. It's up to you.
Now to give an example, and to get the ball rolling, these are my picks:
1 - The Best: Tetsuyas. It's top quality and an unbelievable experience, but no, I haven't been there. So even though my vote is for Tets, of the places I've been to, the winner would be Buon Ricordo. Oh God, that truffled egg fettuccine...
2 - Best Value: Tricky, but I'm going with Alio for the moment, unless I can improve on that. But Alio is a worthy contender, especially with the special internet-advertised set menu, it's fantastic value for wonderful and inspired Italian food.
3 - Favourite: A tie, between Spice I Am, and Non La. Both are fairly cheap Thai and Viet restaurants respectively, but fantastic quality and a variety of tastes that is out of this world.
It’s as easy as that. I want to hear your selections for each category, and hopefully, why you have chosen them (or it, if you only choose one). Everybody out there who reads this, it's time to comment. You're more then welcome to leave an anonymous comment; we just want to hear as many opinions as possible. So pass this on to everyone you know, and get voting! Before you know it we'll have tried and tested list of the great places in Sydney.

The people are very gorgeous and you have to queue for a table (or get there at 6:00pm), but the duck and prawn pancakes, crispy blue swimmer crap dumplings and coconut fried rice are great - and really nice fish

Eva, thanks for the comment, nice to have you on board! I've heard Phamish is good, I think it might have got a mention also by some chef in the back of the Sun Herald magazine a couple of days ago. Anyway, definitely a place to check out.
Thanks guys, and keep it coming!
