Croydon Lane

The verdict

Croydon Lane has transformed a strip long populated by burger joints, into a gourmet locale. Chef George Sideris brings his experience working with Luke Mangan to create a Mediterranean tapas bar with delicacies such as scallops wrapped in jamon, kingfish and pink grapefruit ceviche and slow roasted pork belly. End your meal with churros or a vanilla rum flan with caramelised mango, both delicious! But don't expect a seat without a booking - Croydon Lane's stellar reputation draws diners from all over Sydney.
