Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in City of Parramatta Council

"Why: The Big Brekkie ($25) is designed specifically for people who don't like missing out on anything – not chorizo, nor serrano ham, braised white beans, cherry tomatoes, soft poached egg, crackling, piquillo peppers, halloumi, avocado, toast or hollandaise. The experience: In case of apocalypse, head for The Grounds – with its landscaped gardens, play areas, coffee roastery, florist, cocktail-dispensing garden shed, cafe and bakery, it's like a self-sufficient suburb in its own right. They don't call it brunch, but all your brunch favourites are here from 11.45am until 3pm; from avo on toast (with dukkah, labna, feta and heirloom tomatoes), four different "health bowls", brekkie burgers; or a kale, cabbage and parmesan salad."

"The Grounds of Alexandria is one of the most unique and popular dining options in Sydney. From speciality coffee roasters to an exquisite onsite bakery to the wholesome indoor and outdoor café with an enormous courtyard and organic garden, there is so much to do and see here. The menu here encompasses home-style cooking and is perfect for sharing, like a slow-roasted pulled-pork sandwich with slaw and handmade pappardelle or try the bakery’s loaves of bread and sweet pastries and signature potato and onion flatbread."

"This cafe is constantly rated one of Sydney’s best for a very good reason. The Grounds of Alexandra is a cornucopia of whimsical delights. From the farm animals (meeting the famous pig, “Kevin Bacon” is a must) to the play area, fountain and rambling paths leading through gardens and lanes bursting with flowers, statues and tiny creative details, the external grounds at The Grounds is, in itself, worth a visit alone."

"This sophisticated Italian trattoria on a tranquil Potts Point side street has a simple dark interior with tan leather booths, walnut paneling, and retro lighting. Tables spill out onto the sunny pavement and a blackboard on the wall denotes the specials of the day. The restaurant opens at 7 A.M daily, so kick off with coffee and housemade pastries before moving on to a larger meal."

"Great wine, delicious food and genuine service is all rolled into one at Fratelli Paradiso, a friendly One-Hat restaurant in Potts Point. Although not as swanky as other restaurants on the list, the hospitality here makes you feel right at home. Match that with a seasonal gourmet menu and you’ve certainly got one charming, laid back eatery worth visiting."

"Not only are the timber interiors stunning at Circular Quay restaurant, the view is to-dine-for!. Here you’ll look out over the harbour right at Circular Quay and the Sydney Harbour bridge and all the boats floating by."

"This sprawling restaurant offers sweeping views of the harbor. The décor is modern yet warm and allows the scenery to be the star of the show. Obviously, sunset is the best time to..."

"Since its purchase by Solotel Group in late 2016, this Oxford Street pub has certainly seen a change or two, and its not just been physical. While the stylish spot remains a popular drinking den for a casual beer after work, it now offers a more refined take on the traditional pub grub menu. Paddo Inn, 338 Oxford Street, Paddington; paddoinn.com.au."

"The boy's hair is quaffed, the floor is black-and-white chequered, and creamy, frozen drinks come in tall, frosted sundae glasses. Except it's like an American adult milk bar because here, those drinks have (a lot of) bourbon in them. It is indeed a very specific theme here."

"Whether on a quiet solo dinner mission for one after a long day, or looking for a place to dine in large groups with ease, Mama’s Wok Yum Cha in Campbelltown is sure to suit, found inside Macarthur Sq..."

"So far, we’ve gone over fine dining joints dominated by seafood, but Yellow is the opposite – plant-based cuisine designed to cater to Sydney’s burgeoning vegan/vegetarian populations. This Potts Point establishment is very much a unique entry in the white tablecloth scene, and it embraces its differences right from the start. Approach from along Macleay Street, and you’ll have no trouble finding Yellow."

"Potts PointIn 2016 Brent Savage and Nick Hildebrandt of The Bentley Group relaunched Yellow’s menu to be 100% vegetarian, and they never looked back. The popular vegan bistro is now known as the go-to place for vegetarian dishes that are a cut above the average. There is a five-course and a seven-course menu only, although they also host guest chefs often, which is a delight to experience."
