The Best Restaurants in New South Wales, Australia

Delicious modern lebanese. Emma's can get crowded and noisy but that's just people enjoying the great food. Try the banquet, that way you get to try lots of delicious goodies.

Great for groups and it had a nice set up

I'm torn about this place, so I'm planning on coming back soon to check it out during the day time and see what I think then, so plan on an update in the near future. But here's my take for now. We rolled in for dinner here with some friends of ours who grew up near here and wanted to take us to a nice place with a view of the ocean, so the Boat Shed was the pick. It delivers in all the right ways for a place on the water, with a cool little beach underneath the outside deck, which was great seating with beautiful views over the water and has plastic screens to keep the wind down if it's a little cooler. It's in an older building too, so it's got lots of seaside charm as well. We were one of only a few tables in the place, and we figured out why later, which wasn't anything bad, just that they had only just started serving dinner, as in, this was their second night, so we were guinea pigs for this round. Apparently they do a big turn at lunch, so that's their usual go to time. Anyway, I love being in a place that's quiet, so this was perfect. We got a seat right next to the water, and loved the view, even if the port is on the other side of the harbor, it's still pretty. Our waiter, Peter I think, headed over and we hit it off right away. He got us started on some garlic bread which was pretty ordinary, but complimentary, so no complaints. We split a couple of meal portions of salt and pepper squid and haloumi salad for appetizers. Both were good representations I thought, but again, nothing out of this world, and maybe not quite justified given the slightly higher prices. For dinner, the wife had Dory fillets, which she said were ok, and to be honest, that was as good as I'd go, not much to them, and the portion wasn't very big. Our friends had the seafood stuffed mushrooms, which I sampled as well, and they were fine, but again, nothing to go nuts about. I ordered the bacon wrapped scallops on Peters word, and they were tasty, with a rich buttery sauce that went with them, but the presentation was pretty weak, and they rice bed underneath was underwhelming. For the prices they're charging, I'd expect a little more on the presentation side, and a little more on the flavor side. But all that being said, they're just starting to try out the dinner mode, so I'll give them another shot in a while. They have a killer location with a charming building, they just need to bring their dinner game up to par and they'll be packing them in soon enough.

I love this place! Pretty good food, fast and friendly service. Great Italian dishes and priced reasonably. Love their pizza too. Can't wait to be back here soon.

Okay the lamb wasn't as good as chiswick. Too much juice. Not enough flavour but cooked well. The look is great. Service excellent. Saganaki amazing. Good value. Would go again for sure.

I found this resturant very comfortable. The decor, food and hospitality were great. Give it a try. I'll be going back.

Nice Atmosphere ! Very nice welcoming staff 🙌🏽 Best Pizza we have ever had 👌🏽 And the Gnocci is YUMMMMM 👌🏽

good variety. basic pizzeria restaurant. needs new decore, George is lovely. generous pizzas. good value especially if you buy their specials booklet.

Yiamas is a great restaurant, We are lucky enough to have this as our local within walking distance. The lamb is lovely and the dips, salad and chips are great. The staff are awesome, it is a great family business, they are lovely people. I would recommend Yiamas - I am a Melbourne girl too, it is hard to find a decent Greek restaurant in Sydney. Im lucky the best Greek in Sydney is in walking distance!

Very delicious Pizza and Pasta. Daily fresh made dessert. And nice ambience and friendly people.

Authentic Lebanese food with great service and a touch of class Would say, almost as good as mums.... (don't want to offend my mum)

Wowface. I randomly drove past this place on a work errand, and asked some friends about it and they said the food was good. So I went last night and I have to say the food is amazing. We ordered two Mixed Platters one meat and one vegetables, and they were amazing. The presentation, the amount of food, the taste, the everything. I highly suggest ordering at least the meat mixed platter for your first time, because it gives you a great snap shot of what the restaurant has to offer. The staff were friendly, the decor is nothing to write home about, but you go there because it is an institution. Cheap, great, authentic, and definitely fulfilling. Highly recommend.

Absolutely beautiful! Fresh home style Italian cooking at its finest, the venue is cosy and a great way to spend a cold night with a impeccable selection of wine and pastas. The staff were friendly and professional, will defiantly be returning and recommending to others.

We really enjoyed not only the meal, which was excellent, but also the wonderful atmosphere and general vibe of the place. I will definitely be going back

A good night out. Lovely staff!
