Newtown

Visited Feb 2026

Great casual eats at every price point. Busy on weekends but worth it — best coffee on King St, strong café culture, and plenty of international options.

Surry Hills

Visited Feb 2026

Brunch capital. Good mid-range dining, excellent bakeries, and a relaxed neighbourhood feel. Less chaotic than Newtown, more refined.

Haymarket

Visited Feb 2026

Sydney's Chinatown hub. Dense, loud, and brilliant. Hotpot, malatang, BBQ, bubble tea — everything within a few blocks. Best visited with a group.
