"With a menu dreamed up by Mitsuhiro Yashio, Yachiyo’s delectable Japanese offering is a pleasure to explore. Using incomparably fresh produce, the sashimi and sushi roll selection is worth lingering over, while the popcorn cauliflower with chilli sesame dressing and wagyu tataki are utterly moreish. Yakitori and hot-pots are available for a more substantial meal, and the ‘I love you very Mochi’ dessert is a sweet as it sounds."

"Restaurants Korean Cremorne. This blink-and-you’ll-miss-it restaurant is tucked away under the stairs at Cremorne Garden Plaza, but don’t let its ordinary shopfront fool you. Inside is stylish and intimate, with barbecues at each table to let guests grill their own dinners, or they can order from the restaurant’s Korean-Japanese menu."

"Lovely Watsons Bay, east of the city centre and north of Bondi, was once a small fishing village, as evidenced by the heritage cottages that pepper the suburb’s narrow streets (and now cost a fortune). It's a lovely day trip by ferry for an exploration of South Head and a leisurely lunch. While you’re here, tradition demands that you sit in the pub's beer garden at sunset and watch the sun dissolve behind the Harbour Bridge, jutting above Bradley’s Head."

"Established as a military base and fishing settlement in the colony's early years, Watsons Bay is a charming suburb, with a popular waterfront…"

"Nev Bagriyanik and his wife Zeyneb opened their ice cream parlour to bring the traditional sweets of their hometown of Maras to the Inner West. Expect unique flavours like the Sour Cherry, Turkish delight, Date, Pistachio and a simple combination of Milk and Sugar. The ice cream itself is particularly sticky and doesn’t melt as quickly as regular ice cream – this is because it’s made with a wild orchid root called salep which gives the ice cream a stretchy texture."

"Nev Bagriyanik and his wife Zeyneb opened their ice cream parlour to bring the traditional sweets of their hometown of Maras to the Inner West. Expect sour cherry, Turkish delight, date, pistachio and the simple combination of milk and sugar to flavour your iced confections. The difference here is that they use salep, a flour made from orchid root that gives Turkish ice cream its super tacky consistency."

"Yet another Enmore Rd institution, Hakiki is famed across the land for their Turkish coffee as well as their gelato (with a thematically consistent Turkish spin). Here you’ll find all the usual gelato staples like apple & cinnamon, hazelnut, and pistachio – with your not-so-usual treats also available, such as baklava, caramelised fig & walnut, and even Turkish coffee.

"Lukumades (the food) are round doughnuts made by hole-in-the-wall patisseries in Greece, usually served slathered in honey and walnuts, and beloved by Greek people. A few years back, a Melbourne food truck started selling these doughy balls of deliciousness, and Lukamades (the business) bloomed from there. It opened its first Sydney store in Chippendale in 2019, which serves up classic lukumades, as well as modern takes that feature Nutella, salted caramel or white chocolate with crushed Oreo."

"Located in the heart of the inner west is Love Crêpe, one of Sydney’s most loved dessert destinations.
