"There’s nothing like spinning the lazy Susan at Golden Century and having a bed of fried vermicelli cradling saucy XO pipis land in front of you. With a string of culinary endorsements by the likes of David Chang, Neil Perry and Tetsuya Wakuda under their belt, the restaurant in the heart of Chinatown needs no introduction. All the Cantonese favourites make an appearance, from Mongolian lamb to extra crispy honey chicken, but it’s the pipis that you want."

"It would be remiss not to include this legendary seafood restaurant in our top 10 – the midday to late-night venue (it’s open till 4am!) is well known for hosting hungry chefs post-service and celebrities like Lady Gaga and Rihanna, post-stadium concerts. Top dishes: pippies with XO sauce, steamed live prawns and steamed parrot fish with ginger and shallots. 393-399 Sussex St, Sydney, goldencentury.com.au"

"Chinese cuisine is known for its love of seafood, and Golden Century is a pioneer in serving up fresh traditional seafood dishes. Our favourite part is the lobster tanks and the fact it’s open late, perfect for a midnight feast. Located in the CBD, it’s popular with people from all over so don’t be surprised if you see a queue."

"This haunt is a favourite for locals with a taste for the more refined flavours hailing from the land of Stars and Stripes. A sophisticated approach to share meals, the ‘Seed’ and ‘Feed’ options provide plenty of temptation; the buffalo style chicken skin with buttermilk ranch and dilly beans ($16) and fried oysters with Old Bay mayo ($26) leads into a hearty serve of poutine with beef shin, spring onion and beer cheese ($28). The smoked lamb ribs with sweet pickled peppers will be difficult to resist, and if deciding between dishes proves too trying, the $68 chef’s selection is safe territory."

"There is no denying Hartsyard's heritage; it is palpably American in taste, substance and style. As soon as you push open the glass door, the smell of hickory smoked pork greets you with open arms. You'd be forgiven for thinking you had mistakenly stumbled across a classic American backyard cook-out, but that's what’s beautiful about this Newtown newcomer."
