Belles Hot Chicken

Belles Hot Chicken has been feeding chicken-loving Sydneysiders for years. And at the Barangaroo diner, you can feast on its famous hot chicken sambo and slaw with a side of harbour views. 

The 70s-inspired space has table service and a full luquor licence — but, really, you're here for the chicken. There's the aforementioned and oh-so-popular spicy chicken sandwich as well as Belles' wonderfully crunchy chicken wings, dark meat and tenders. Not to mention the vego-friendly mushroom sanga and all the epic sides on offer, such as mac and three cheese, fries, potato and gravy, and pickled veg.

Oh and did we mention the chicken and waffles available on weekends? Yep, Belles is all about comfort food at its finest (and most indulgent). 

On the drinks list, you'll find everything from pet-nats and local brews to top-shelf whiskies and cocktails, including boozy slushies. 

Want to take a bit of Belles home with you? Thanks to the restaurant chain's cult-like status, it's now selling has bottles of seasoning as well as some slick merch, which are available via its website.
