Best Lunch Restaurants in City of Parramatta Council

"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 are numerous options for getting out and seeing Sydney from the water. The cheapest option is to get on one of the ferries. You'll still have the opportunity to check out the Opera House from a different angle, possibly see some marine life, whilst at the same time getting to your destination, which is, more often than not, Manly."

"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..."

"Booked for Valentine's Day, it was a great deal at $85 per person. The food was excellent. The accompanying matching wine offer was at $60 per person seemed too steep."

"Soft sand, calm, gentle waves and stunning views work in harmony creating the serene environment of Coogee Beach. Containing four ocean pools including McIvers Baths, which is reserved for women and children only, Coogee is a beautiful child-friendly spot to snorkel, swim, or simply relax on the sand. Explore the nearby boutiques and trendy bar scene or start your walk along the famous 6km Bondi to Coogee Coastal walk."

"Hip and filled with those donning the latest trends in swimwear, Coogee Beach is only second to Bondi when it comes to famous Sydney beaches. This gorgeous and spacious stretch comes complete with calm water, an ocean pool, a women’s only pool and tens of nearby cafes and boutique shops. It’s easily accessed by public transportation and is often the beautiful beginning or end point for those going on a coastal walk."

"One of our favourite Sydney beaches, Coogee is fairly small but a lovely suburb with lots of nice eateries and a really nice beach for swimming and relaxing in the sun. It’s just 40 minutes by bus from the city centre."

"Far less popular than the touristy Bondi to Coogee hike, the Spit to Manly Walk is a quieter alternative with more natural busy and varied views. A stunning day hike along the North Sydney harbor coastline that weaves its way through a mix of lush bushland and scenic harbourside trails with secluded beaches, indigenous rock carvings, and panoramic lookouts along the way. You can hike the 10km (6.2 miles) trail in 3.5 hours in a hurry, but I recommend you take your time and enjoy the sights and sounds."

"If you fancy stretching your legs, the walk from Manly to Spit Bridge is a pleasant 2-3 hour coastal walk with amazing views over the ocean. Catch the ferry to Manly harbour and head round the coast – make sure not to miss the ancient aboriginal carvings along the way. When it comes to free things to do in Sydney, this is one of the most popular for good reason."

"Since opening its doors in 1989, the multi award-winning Enzo Restaurant continues to call in families and friends eager to enjoy the intertwining of good food and company in Camden. From the fairy-li... Order OnlineBook Now"

"This late-night haunt is among the best takeaway joints around and has garnered food-loving reverence from Sydneysiders everywhere. While Indian Home Diner serves up heaps of the cuisine’s best-known dishes — including curries, tandoori bread and samosas — the go-to here is the Indian kebab. These are wrapped in plain or garlic naan, instead of the Lebanese bread you get in most local kebab shops."
