16 modern australian places in Sydney we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Sydney | Modern Australian across every city.
Modern Australian cooking is Sydney's signature mode, produce-driven, fire-friendly and shaped by the harbour. Bennelong inside the Opera House and Aria on Macquarie Street are the landmark fine-dining rooms, while Firedoor in Surry Hills built its reputation entirely on cooking over wood and coals. Sixpenny in Stanmore carries the tasting-menu end of the tradition.
