Hi, my name is Dana and I love good food! If you like cute cafes and restaurants, you will probably love Sydney as much as I do. I'd like to give you some recommendations for great food in Sydney and show you some of the best places I've been to eat or have a cup of coffee. So here are my top five recommendations in Sydney:


1. AP Bakery

This bakery is more than just an ordinary bakery. There are so many different and original options to choose from, so if you can't make up your mind, this might not be the place for you (or you'll just have to come back). The food is so delicious, especially the fig leaf cream and rhubarb croissant, which was out of this world! It's a great place for brunch and you can even sit on the roof for a great view.



2. Vegan kindness –in Darlinghust

If you like vegan Asian food, this is the place for you. This cute restaurant has vegan dishes from all over Asia. There are typical Japanese, Korean, East Asian, Malaysian, Vietnamese dishes and much more.



3. Pancakes on the rocks

If you are in Sydney, a visit to Pancakes on the Rocks is a must. They make the best pancakes I've ever had, I don't even have the words to describe them. They have so many different toppings to choose from, it's a dream come true.




4. The Grounds of Alexandria

The Grounds of Alexandria should definitely be on your Sydney to-do list, even if you're not planning to eat there. It's a beautiful place where they decorate everything in ever-changing themes.



























5. Buttercrumbs Croissant Ultimo

I've never had such a good croissant in my life (and I've been to France, so that must mean something). The good thing is that Buttercrumbs is really close to UTS, so perfect for a study break.
