Sydney: Where and what to eat
Around Circular Quay
There's a series of restaurants all along East Circular Quay from near the wharves to the approach to Sydney Opera House. As well, there are dining venues at the Opera House but you'd probably only think of dining there if attending an opera, concert or theatre event.
On West Circular Quay, you'll find a number of restaurants, including Doyles, at the International Overseas Passenger Terminal. There are also restaurants between the terminal and the Park Hyatt.
>Restaurants in the Circular Quay train terminal building by the ferry wharves are more designed for fast turnover than for leisurely dining. One restaurant at the Quay, City Extra, is open all hours.
The Rocks district
Chinatown
If you fancy Chinese food, head towards the southern end of the city centre. There's a host of restaurants in the Dixon St area (near the Sydney Entertainment Centre and in the Haymarket district). Some of the restaurants here are open until late. It's best to have a dining guide when looking for appropriate restaurants in the Rocks district. Some of these restaurants may be hiding in hotels. One of Sydney's more distinguished restaurants for fine dining is Rockpool on George St at the Rocks.
Within walking distance
If you're in the city centre, you would be within walking distance of a number of these Sydney restaurants including those at Chinatown, at the Rocks, and around Circular Quay.
If dining out at night, remember that some Sydney restaurants close early, so plan accordingly.
Check with your hotel for restaurant locations and how to get there.
Variety of restaurant fare
There's a wide variety of dining fare in Sydney, and for those so inclined, yes, there's also McDonald's, Hungry Jacks, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell...
If you're in an apartment or house with kitchen facilities, you may want to do a bit of cooking yourself.
