burgers and beer are a match made in heaven. If the craft beer isn’t really your thing, there’s an extensive list
of cocktails and wine you can order while trying some of their crazy-named burgers is a must. What about Pablo Esco
Burger with ground beef, cheese, guacamole, queso, smoked jalapenos – a sublimation of Mexican food in one burger?
It’s a must-have!

If you’re looking for a truly Australian experience, this contemporary restaurant
located in Barangaroo Avenue is the best place to be. It’s based on the idea of celebrating the Australia’s four
elements – earth, ocean, land, and air – and the whole menu is designed to show local produce and cuisine while the
crockery you will be eating from is also locally produced. Besides, it’s a late night dessert bar, so trying out
their 3, 5, or 7-course tasting, which includes stuff like pistachio, miso, and smoked vanilla, is
obligatory.

the food, beautiful SoCal Neutral Bay offers various BBQ meals as well as seafood, the best of Mexican cuisine and pairing it
with some of the best southern Californian wines. A special thumbs-up goes to their in-house smoked cocktails –
from Old Fashioned with cherry smoke to Fairbanks with hickory smoke. So trendy, yet delicious!

For those of you who love reading and drinking during the day, Hemingway’s bar is
a perfect place, right across the road from Manly Beach. Hipsters who visited the place swear on bacon and egg roll
while Hemingway’s offer many other breakfast options, perfect for curing hangovers.
The best thing about it is that it seems undiscovered by the tourists yet so it’s
mostly locals that eat and drink here meaning that Hemingway’s is the place to be if you want to blend in. The best
thing off the vegetarian menu is the kale and quinoa salad which you can get for less than $20, so why not give it
a shot?

that really have it all – vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, and it’s pet-friendly as well. Their menu is
changing daily but there’s one thing that is constant – all of their food is organic. You can order things like
biodynamic bread and eggs, flourless pancakes, and homemade almond butter so it’s clear that Bread & Circus is
a perfect option for those who like eating healthy, no matter where they go. A special recommendation goes to
Breakfast with Gwyneth – sautéed with quinoa, kale and mixed greens. Yummy!

something for everyone, Sydney is one of those cities you leave with a promise to come back. Well, some of these
