Katie's Travel Tips for Sydney

What are the best places to eat and drink in Sydney?

The Fine Food Store in The Rocks was fantastic. A modern twist on classics, something for everyone, including Gluten Free options. It's off the beaten path in a cobblestone alleyway and provides that historic charm and ambiance you expect from historic towns.
