Jason KingThe Go List from Food and Wine Magazine
April 17th 2006 12:49
An interesting list has been published by Food and Wine magazine (an American publication) written in collaboration with "plugged in" food writers and bloggers around the world. It details the best and most exciting places to eat around the world, in all the major cities. And guess what? There's one about Sydney!
Contributors for Sydney include Guy Griffin, writter for 'the (sydney) magazine' in the Herald every month; as well as bloggers Pim for Bangkok and 'the pieman' (Graham Holliday) for Ho Chi Minh City. In fact Pim has written an article about her involvement in making the list; here's the link.
The Sydney list is located here and has some interesting inclusions (for my two cents). Marque Restaurant is a definate valid entry. As is the 'Only in Sydney' list of Rockpool and Tetsuyas, perennial Sydney institutions (and repeated performers in Restaurant Magazine's Top 50 Restaurants in the World List; see my post). No argument either about Icebergs and Pilu for a different angle. And of course you can't just have high end restaurants; otherwise Claudes would deserve a mention, as would Quay and Guillaume. But surely Spice I Am is deserving as far as cheaper, more accessable dining? And I would think, high end or not, that long time Sydney favourite Buon Ricordo should be included for their famous Italian food, especially the divine truffled egg pasta. So too Bistro Moncur where Damien Pignolet has been serving true comfort French food for decades.
But in all it's a good list, and good information to have when travelling.
As for how the Melbourne list missed out The Flower Drum I'll never understand...

Looking forward to reviews about those top-notch Sydney restaurants, but don't forget to include the cost! Can I really afford to eat at Tetsuyas?
