Best Lunch Restaurants in The Phoenix

"Whilst the regular ferry services are a great way to experience the beauty of Sydney Harbour, a day or night cruise over the Harbour is a wonderful experience that often includes drinks and a meal. On a cruise, you typically have a lot more space to wander around, and there are fewer people on the boat than on a regular ferry. A cruise is also much slower, which gives you the opportunity to really soak in the beauty that surrounds you."

"There is something about eating outside that makes your meal taste even better, and Sydney’s sunny atmosphere is the perfect backdrop for an outdoor dining spot!. But where does one start?. Sydney is home to countless outdoor restaurants, offering both delicious food and jaw-dropping views!"

"Experience Sydney aboard one of the city’s relaxing harbour cruises. Watch the sunset reflect on the sails of the Sydney Opera House and dine by candlelight as the waters lull you into complete contentment. This is a fantastic way to see the city."

"A party-time oasis of pink flamingos and private cabanas for the past 12 years, Ivy Pool Club underwent a refresh in 2020 to provide more al fresco dining options. Additional booths and poolside tables were installed, and chef Vincenzo Biondini expanded his menu to include Italian-ish salads and antipasto such as mortadella, burrata and giardiniera. Pool Club now has table service too, and guests really keen to push out the inflatable swan can order caviar and Dom Perignon from Uccello next door."

"Ivy Pool Club is one of Sydney's most popular bars, found at the top of the Ivy complex in Sydney CBD. Recline in a private cabana or take a dip in the crystal clear water under the city skyline, with premium cocktails and Italian-style bites available if you get hungry."

"Inspired by the Italian coastline, this rooftop pool bar is a taste of the Mediterranean in the heart of the city. “I arrived here just 2 weeks before the lockdown and a lot of my friends told me that this venue was great!. So, I just want to live the experience as well!"

"Chatkazz is a haven for Indian street snacks – a massive, colourful and busy restaurant with diners hooking into classics such as biryani and roti, alongside bizarre (and delicious) takes on Western snacks like club sandwiches and pizza. Shop 4, 14-20 Station Street E, Harris Park"

"Chatkazz is a culinary gem and delivers a truly special eating experience. The term means “spicy and delicious”, and that’s exactly what you’ll get from this popular Harris Park spot. It specialises in street food and farsan (salty snacks) that’ll transport you directly to India."

"If you’re craving some authentic Indian street food, Chatkazz needs to be your go-to. Both delivery and pick up are available. 📍Chatkazz, Shop 4-6/14-20 Station St E, Harris Park NSW 2150 📍Chatkazz Bella Vista, Shop A1/24-32 Lexington Dr, Bella Vista NSW 2153"

"Cafe Vizio Caffe e Cucina is laden with old-world charm and customers are treated like family. For a unique breakfast experience, order your cup of robust, specially-curated beans and bring a few friends along to enjoy a breakfast fit for royalty. Pair it with a traditional Italian pastry, or fill yourself up with some bacon and eggs."

"Share the pleasures of life with friends and family at Vizio Caffe e Cucina on William Street in Woolloomooloo. With a name that has two meanings – family and home – catch up over a good dose of caffe..."

"Roast duck rules the roost at this new 500-seater Cantonese restaurant perched on level seven of Westfield Pitt Street Mall. Do as the name suggests and put in an order for their roast duck – served either Peking or Cantonese-style – or spread your wings and try one of the regional specialties from aromatic dong po pork served with bouncy lotus buns or the slow-cooked san pei chicken simmered in a clay pot. Skip the tea and order the Spice Trade cocktail, which channels classic duck flavours with anise cognac, Campari, yuzu, citrus and pineapple."

"They have burgers, of course, but we recommend perusing the “Ole Hickory Barbeque” menu that is served only on the weekend until sold out, featuring pulled pork to chopped brisket and all the juiciness in-between. Match your filling dish with one of their American alcoholic beverages, whether it be beer or whisky, then finish your degustation with an ice cream sandwich."

"What's more American than smoked brisket, burgers and mac 'n' cheese?. The answer would be Surly's Mac 'n' cheese BBQ brisket burger!. Must try:The Handsome Mike burger may be something else, but so are their chilli cheese fries."

"In Short: Happyfield was one of the best new openings in 2020 and now in 2021 it will continue to be one of the most garnered tables in town on the weekend. Come for their pancakes and sausage muffins and chase it down with a cold brew nitro and you will be one happy person…."

"At the more casual end of Sydney’s nightclub spectrum is this Surry Hills favorite, which pumps out daggy old-school tunes that the bouncing dance floor adores. Past Soda Factory’s kitschy American diner-style entrance lies an inviting, unpretentious industrial space that serves affordable cocktails and great classic hits, two ingredients that are always conducive to a heaving dance floor and a cracking night out."

"Step up to the counter of Bobby's Boss Dogs and you'll see there's more to this 1950s-inspired diner than meets the eye. Behind the defunct Coca-Cola machine, you'll find one of the best hidden restaurants in Sydney serving up incredible cocktails, late-night parties and yes, some actual hot dogs."

"Cheese fries and burgers are the American diner staple, and The Soda Factory has that and more!. $10 Chicken Bucket Wednesdays, $1 Hotdog Tuesdays, this is truly the dream. Must try: You really can't go past those dollar dogs can you?"
