6 mediterranean places in Sydney we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Sydney | Mediterranean across every city.
Mediterranean cooking gives Sydney a broad, sun-led category that takes in the Levant, Spain and the Italian coast. The Palomar on Oxford Street in Paddington brings a Jerusalem-inflected energy, Nomad in Surry Hills works a wood-fired share-plate style, and Baba's Place in Marrickville folds migrant-suburb flavours into the same idea.
