EAT > Saint Peter, Paddington Sydney (20/20) – 2026

Saint Peter in Sydney is one of Australia’s (possibly the world’s) most compelling places to eat seafood right now, a restaurant that turns whole fish into high drama without ever losing sight of comfort, generosity, and genuine hospitality. Relocated to The Grand National Hotel in Paddington, it feels like both a neighbourhood dining room and…

STAY > Ovolo Sydney, Woolloomooloo (16/20)

Ovolo Sydney, Woolloomooloo is the hotel that turns a heritage finger wharf into a neon‑lit playground: all‑in perks, bold design and a quietly serious sleep, right on the harbour’s edge. Set between the Royal Botanic Garden and the Art Gallery of New South Wales, it feels as much like an adults‑friendly clubhouse as a classic…

EAT > Otto, Wooloomooloo (16/20)

OTTO is Sydney’s original la dolce vita wharf restaurant: a polished, sun-struck slice of Italo-Sydney glamour where seafood, pasta and people-watching all arrive at roughly the same high gloss. AMBIENCE > Along Woolloomooloo’s Finger Wharf, OTTO is the restaurant that still looks like the postcard: linen-draped tables marching along the boardwalk, super-yachts bobbing in front,…

EAT > The Tilbury, Woolloomooloo (14/20)

The Tilbury is that rare inner-city pub-restaurant that feels equally right for a midweek Martini, a long Sunday lunch or a dressed-up dinner on home turf in Woolloomooloo. Set back from the wharf on Nicholson Street, it trades harbour theatre for something more quietly assured: a heritage shell smoothed into a contemporary, Mediterranean-leaning dining room…

EAT > Vinesmith, Melbourne (15/20)

Vinesmith is a rare thing in Melbourne’s CBD: a true city cellar door and more than that it actually feels tethered to the vineyards it pours, with a French‑leaning bistro upstairs that looks over Treasury Gardens and feels worlds away from the office towers below. It’s part wine bar, part bottle shop, part dining room,…

EAT > Eleven Barrack, Sydney (18/20)

Eleven Barrack feels like a grand city dining room that Sydney has been waiting for: a lavish steak and seafood grill in a heritage bank building, tuned with just enough irreverence to keep things fun. It is also the sharpest new expression of the Bentley Group’s polished food, wine and service playbook, right in the middle…

EAT > Scala Lane, Sydney (15/20)

Tucked into a narrow cut-through behind Wynyard Station, Scala Lane is down the kind of lane your mother said don’t go down. Yep it looks dodgy. Past the garbage skips, the delivery entrances and the parked vans. Here you find the kind of Italian wine and pasta bar that feels like a happy discovery rather than a foregone…

EAT > Moo Moo, Broadbeach (14/20)

In the heart of Broadbeach’s glittering dining belt, Moo Moo stakes its claim as one of the precinct’s elder statesmen—a steakhouse with swagger, but not without its own scars. Where others offer newness, Moo Moo leans heavily into tradition, its dim lighting and polished black surfaces promising old-school drama, while the clatter of glassware and…
