Potts Point

The team behind some of Sydney’s best Mexican restaurants have swapped their usual schtick for Spain at this sumptuous wine and tapas bar. Flit around a menu that includes roasted scallops in saffron butter, and cheesy croquetas, and dip into a wine list championing NSW growers and women producers.

Chef Dan Pepperell and his dream have brought a new wave of French dining to Potts Point. On the menu, it's saucisson, escargot pasta and steak frites. Plus, there's a drinks list by the Swillhouse Group's former sommelier.

Stunning city views paired with cocktails and share plates.

This diner by Belles Hot Chicken's Morgan McGlone swaps the deep fryer for the rotisserie. Come for chook-heavy family dinners stacked with sides. There's also a fantastic Argentinian-style chorizo sandwich and cocktails by an ex-Baxter Inn bartender.

The bigger sibling to Potts Point cafe Room Ten is just across the alley in Llankelly Place. It's all about generous, "everyday" dishes, from whopping bacon-and-egg rolls to big salads and sandwiches.

Don’t be fooled by this cafe’s modest appearance – it can do plenty in its tiny kitchen.

This petite, takeaway-focused sandwich shop at the leafy end of Potts Point offers no-nonsense sangas, strong coffees and a few bits and bobs for the pantry. There’s also a good range of salads, sweets and pastries.

This is more showroom than cafe, with coffee from one of Sydney's most experienced baristas.

A menu that doesn’t sacrifice flavour to achieve its nourishing tag, and a drinks list that’s all about fermentation.

The sister venue of Love, Tilly Devine is perfect for a date night of snacks and wine.

The Eau De Vie team's second great bar has a Prohibition theme, and a far more substantial food menu that most.

Inside a former adult bookstore, this female-led distillery serves local and international spirits, as well as its own gin, whisky and vodka that you can store in your own personal “spirit locker” between visits. To eat, think Mediterranean snacks and share plates.
