Sydney is one of the most exciting food capitals in the world.
Fresh produce and innovative chefs have made Sydney a world focus for food, with more visitors each year coming to experience its cuisine and lifestyle.
The restaurant scene reflects the multi-cultural make up, with Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Malaysian, Indian, Korean, Italian, Greek, and
Lebanese styles enjoying a significant following.
In recent years, the development of a new and uniquely Australian culinary style, frequently dubbed 'modern Australian' has become extremely popular. A blend of Mediterranean and Asian flavours, the style was pioneered by a group of innovative chefs which included Neil Perry, Christine Mansfield, Steve Manfredi, Peter Meier, Tony Bilson and others.
Creating wonderful dishes from the freshest and most flavoursome local produce in season is the 'modern Australian' approach, and it has stimulated demand for a wide variety of quality, fresh produce which is now available in supermarkets, delicatessens and specialist food outlets. Committed food lovers also haunt the city's major produce markets, such as the Flemington Fruit and Vegetable Market and the Fish Market at Pyrmont.
Authentic Asian ingredients are also widely available, and suburban precincts such as Cabramatta are now showcasing the cuisines of their residents from Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and China which can be sampled at excellent local restaurants.
Sydney is crowded with streets devoted to great dining, whatever your food craving or cash flow. Outdoor dining is extremely popular and Sydney's mild climate makes it possible year-round.
No meal in Sydney would be complete without a glass of their world-class locally produced wine. New South Wales' 208 wineries are experiencing significant growth from both local and international awareness and demand for their excellent quality and value. The renowned Hunter Valley wine region is now experiencing competition from new wine regions that have blossomed around the State.
