Top 7 Ice Cream & Gelato Shops in Sydney
"If you loved the restaurant, which has been a Norton Street staple since 1952, growing up, chances are it still holds a special place in your heart today. There's no need to dine in to order a scoop. It still operates its dedicated gelato bar out the front of the restaurant."
"Enjoy the best taste of Italian Coffee at Bar Italia in Little Italy, Leichhardt, Sydney. It is one of Sydney’s best specialty coffee cafes, using full cream milk only in their hot coffees and rotating their signature blend every season."
"(Large) Cookies N Cream Ultimate Shake - Vanilla ice cream with lots of cream filled chocolate cookie chunks throughout"
"This is one of my personal favourites simply because of how underrated it is. It literally is a hole in the wall along the streets of Newtown. Their Apple Crumble, Coconut, and Tim Tam flavours are known to be amazing, and in the sorbet range, the Champagne or Fresh Pear and Ginger are not to be missed."
"NewtownGelato Blue is Sydney’s first 100% plant-based gelateria, so now everyone can enjoy the frozen treat. Every element is made in house, including the nut mixes that are milled on site. They use a base of coconut milk, and cream to create their 20 vegan gelato flavours, including double-roasted pistachio, and pavlova."
"Meet Gelato Blue, Sydney’s first 100% plant-based gelateria. This bustling spot attracts queues every weekend, slinging top-notch artisan vegan gelato made from scratch."
"Eden Gardens in Macquarie Park provides a diverse range of flora, different types of gardens, and unique sculptures located throughout the gardens for wedding photography. Eden Gardens offer a choice of unique garden wedding settings to suit your wedding style, including wet weather backup options for your wedding ceremony."
"One of Sydney’s worst kept secrets is Wendy’s Secret Garden, a green oasis of native plants, fig trees, beautiful flowers and a thriving community of birds. The garden is a beautiful place for office workers and local residents to wind down, eat their lunch, read a book or to simply enjoy the views. Wendy’s Secret Garden is now part of the Lavender Bay Parklands, a collection of green spaces and parks in and around Lavender Bay, such as Clark Park, Watt Park, Quibaree Park and also the Lavender Bay Foreshore."
"Ok, it is not really a secret – but Wendy Whiteley’s Secret Garden is still very much an underrated attraction in Sydney often overlooked by locals and tourists alike. A free place to visit, this delightful Lavender Bay garden on the lower North Shore of Sydney Harbor has charming views and a unique feeling of peace and tranquility. A public garden and much-loved oasis formed on railway land at the bottom of Wendy’s Garden, the site has an intriguing history and is well explained by signboards dotted around."
"A serene spot in Lavender Bay, the garden was created in 1992 by Wendy Whiteley, wife and muse to artist Brett Whiteley, following her by then ex-husband’s death. We love Wendy’s Secret garden. It’s a really special space for kids to follow the weaving pathways through lush foliage and discover little secrets hidden in nooks and crannies."
"Whether in Walsh Bay to satisfy your cultural side or just to hang out by the harbour, you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t find time for dumplings. Tucked in an old warehouse across the road from Sydney Dance Company, this polished diner serves some of the city’s best dim sum. Once you’ve worked your way through the squirty soup dumplings and translucent prawn parcels, there’s also a number of knock-out wok dishes to try, from the kung pao chicken to crispy eggplant in honey."
"Lotus Dumpling Bar has you covered when the dumpling cravings hit. The restaurant has an open kitchen so you can watch on as the chefs create pure dumpling magic. Our favourite dishes are the crisp fried eggplant with honey and chilli and the pan-fried chicken and kimchi dumplings."
"But the seasonal menu, sustainable produce and innovative open kitchen are beyond anything you’d be working with at home. Head chef Danielle Alvarez has a philosophy of old-world cooking with a fun atmosphere and a changing daily menu to give your tastebuds a whirlwind experience that satisfies every palate. As far as cool places to eat in Sydney, you’d be hard-pressed topping this experience."
"This place came highly recommended to me by several people, and unfortunately, I didn’t make it there with our busy itinerary. But the menu looks delicious and changes daily since they use seasonal sustainable produce."
"Restaurants European Paddington"
"No matter how far you stroll down the beckoning path of American cuisine, you’ll always end up finding burgers. The Hub House Diner redefines them so beautifully that it’s impossible to ignore them. But the menu is not just about burgers, they even do chicken wings, Mexican corn, and specially designed loaded fries."
"Their plating isn't boring either, order the popcorn chicken and find it in a jar with real bits of popcorn!. Must try:The House Plank platter also has it all. Southern fried chicken wings, pork ribs, corn and zucchini fritters."
