Eat Like A King Or Queen In Sydney - Australia's Largest City

The wide range of restaurants, cafes and pubs that Sydney has to offer is a reflection of the city's cultural diversity. There are so many choices that it's almost like reading an atlas. You can choose from local Australian food, or European, Asian, Mediterranean, Italian, Japanese and lots more.

If traditional Australian food is what you've been looking for, consider a trip to Harry's Cafe de Wheels. They offer some of the city's best meat pies. For people seeking bush-tucker - traditional Aboriginal cuisine, including kangaroo meat - some venues offer this as well. While kangaroo has only been legal to serve in restaurants since 1993, foreign visitors have caused its popularity to soar.

Sydney's location on the harbor makes seafood a restaurant staple. It's served exclusively by a number of leading restaurants around the city, including the Five Dock Seafoods Cafe and Fishface. These and many other restaurants have a fresh supply of the best seafood, including calamari and octopus, prawns, mussels, barramundi and snapper. That's all thanks to the nearby Sydney Fish Market.

The king of seafood in Sydney is still the popular Doyles Hotel. It's the oldest seafood restaurant in the city, and one of the best. Located on the beachside, it also provides a wonderful view of Watsons Bay.

For great Italian food, try Mezzaluna or Gelbison, though you shouldn't forget to look for some of the best pasta in the city in Little Italy (Norton Street in the Leichhardt inner city). Sydney's fashionable cafes also have a strong Italian influence. Check out some of these establishments on Potts Point, Bondi Beach, or Darlinghurst.

Some locations known for their trendiness and great coffee include Tropicana, Bills, La Buvette and Bar Coluzzi.

European influence can be spotted elsewhere, too. French restaurants include Sel et Poivre and Bistro Moncur. The Greek Mykonos and Spanish Capitan Torres are a hit with locals and visitors, and you'll find the best in Eastern European food at Corner 75.

For Asian food, whether it's cuisine from the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, India, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Singapore or Iran, there'll be many options. Some of the best rated include Chinta Ria, Blue Elephant, Malaya and Lebanon and Beyond.

Lovers of Japanese food will be happy to know that Sydney can provide sashimi and sushi, teriyaki, tempura, and noodles. Check out Dragonfly, Raw Bra, Shimbashi or Sushi Shima.

For restaurant hoppers, here's a quick guide to the regions. In the Western suburbs, several Turkish and Cambodian restaurants are an option. Southern suburbs play host to Lebanese and Greek food, and northern ones offer Japanese, African, and Indian fare. For Indonesian or European restaurants, head east.

Is a view a priority? Consider The Summit, Catalina, or the Boathouse. For vegetarians, Harvest or Govinda's are great options, and if you're looking for a trendy place to eat, Bayswater Brasserie Restaurant and Hugo's won't fail to please.
