When most people think of the Australia, they think of the iconic Sydney Opera House, or perhaps the Harbour Bridge or even cuddly koalas and kangaroos. But in addition to beautiful buildings, landscape and an abundance of unique wildlife and plants, Sydney offers a variety of international cuisine that has caused even some of the world's best chefs to take off their chef coats and see what is happening in the ethnically diverse kitchens down under.
In the inner west neighborhood of Haberfield, known for its great Italian patisseries and restaurants, locals and visitors arrive early in the morning for some of the best coffee and croissants in the city. It is not uncommon to arrive early just as the baker is wiping off his chef pants and serving the morning's first batch of almond croissants. Combine the flaky pastry with a flat white and locals and tourists alike are ready to start the day. By dinnertime, the smell of pizzas and homemade pasta begin to permeate the air. In warmer months, many restaurant patrons chose a table outside on busy Ramsay Street, the city's most famous street for a good Italian meal. Most restaurants are BYO, so guests can opt to bring their favorite wine to accompany the meal.
In nearby Ashfield, Chinese food reigns supreme. You might not be able to read the menu or correctly pronounce the name on the chef jacket, but this friendly, laidback neighborhood offers everything from Northern Beijing-style cuisine to staples such as dumplings and duck. Try the shallot pancakes, garlic green beans and salt and pepper prawns for an evening to remember. Ashfield represents another colorful Sydney neighborhood where you can eat and feel like a local.
The Sydney suburb of Marrrickville is known for its strong Vietnamese influence. There is not a better way to battle a cool Sydney day than by warming up with a hot bowl of Pho. This is a traditional raw beef and noodle soup served with lemon wedges, chili, mint and bean sprouts. Patrons can flavor the soup from hot to mild. And after warming up with Pho, you can sample some handmade prawn rice paper rolls to complete your meal. Most of the restaurants in the area are very affordable, which leave more money to explore the other sights and sounds of the city.
