Restaurants bucket list (Sydney)
Sydney being the city with so many cultures is a perfect place for food joints. There are new restaurants opening almost every day. Since it is a multicultural city, the city caters to food for all cuisines and for all budgets.
I have been thinking of creating a bucket list for trying different cuisines at various restaurants in Sydney. I am aware that this list will outgrow at some point and I will update when it does. But for now, this is my food bucket list in Sydney.
Restaurants bucket list (Sydney)
Note: I have not tried most of these restaurants and this list will be updated as and when I will find new restaurants.
The reviews updated in the review column are based on the food that I have personally tried. They are mostly based on vegetarian and food that contain chicken. As I do not eat red meat, so I am not very sure of the food with red meat.
