Must-Try Restaurants in Australia

If you're heading to Australia and love food as much as I do, you're in for something special. I’ve spent time exploring the culinary scenes in cities like Sydney and Melbourne, and I can tell you—they’re some of the most exciting and diverse anywhere in the world. From fresh seafood by the water to bold global flavors tucked into chic city neighborhoods, there’s no shortage of memorable meals. I always keep an eye on the annual Good Food Guide Awards, where top spots earn the coveted Chef’s Hat—Australia’s version of a Michelin star. You’ll find everything from rustic Italian kitchens to cutting-edge pan-Asian fusion, many with stunning views of Darling Harbour or the peaceful beauty of Western Port Bay and the Mornington Peninsula. If you’re planning a food-focused adventure, this is a destination that truly delivers.
