Markets & Food Events

A sprawling sashimi, sushi and seafood bar overlooking the beach, GetSashimi is now open in Bondi.

For a taste of traditional tacos and uncomplicated snacks just like the street-side stalls of Oaxaca offer, Pyrmont’s Nativo Mexican is a must-visit, with seats for 14 customers (but plenty of room to scoff tacos while standing).

If you love flavour and sharing a spontaneous meal amongst fifteen of your favourite friends, then this eclectic street food diner is right up your alley—with a menu stacked full of dishes to take your tastebuds from China to Hong Kong, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand. 

When a foodie concept is born out of the craving for a late-night schnitzel, we could be biased— but we’re already big fans.

When it comes to food mashups, we’ve had some pretty heroic and outrageous creations in recent years. The cronut is a crowd favourite, but who can forget cruffins, waffle-doughnuts (also known as wonuts) and the delicate, not-sure-we-needed-it macaron-doughnut (macaronut).

Rosé fans, rejoice. Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel—our beloved summer haunt—is launching its inaugural rosé street festival, and we’re all invited.

Sure, Frank’s Original Philly Cheesesteak and Dogs has a permanent shopfront in Wetherill Park. But their a portable version is in a bus. And all aboard, we say. You’ll find six versions of the Philly cheesesteak here, but all have the same delicious base: thinly sliced rib-eye steak, cheese (“American”, provolone, or the gloriously yellow Cheez Whiz) and grilled onions, piled on a real-deal amoroso bread roll.

Fusion both inside and outside of the kitchen, English Ben Sinfield and Vietnamese Tania Ho fell in love after meeting at work in London’s St John restaurant. After moving to Australia, Ben worked as sous chef at Chippendale’s Ester, and Paddington’s Fred’s and we’re pretty sure you know by now that this one’s going to be good. They’ve combined their cultural heritage and passion for food to open up a Banh Xeo Bar at The Cannery, Rosebery and it’s exactly what you’re thinking.

Prepare to throw any semblance of healthy eating out the window, team. There’s a new ice cream truck in town and (wait for it) they’re serving pimped scoops of deep fried ice cream. We still have no freaking idea how deep fried ice cream really works, but what we do know is a creamy scoop of goodness wrapped in a crispy shell is a damn good idea. Always. 

From one (lactose intolerant) ice-cream lover to another, you’ll be over the moon to hear that Over the Moo have taken to Sydney’s roads (see what we did there?), bringing their vegan gelato goods with them. As Sydney’s first ever dairy-free ice-cream truck, Over the Moo was founded by Alexander Houseman, who felt that there was a severe lack of tasty dairy free alternatives in our fair city—and we couldn’t have agreed more..

Spice up your regular night in, by heading out to track down Dirty Bird Food Truck. The duo behind Dirty Bird have fused southern flavours with Japanese techniques, serving up their Americasian (as they’re calling it) fare, which is so good, you’ll be craving a chicken run every single weekend. Are you even a Sydneysider if you can pass on a fried chicken burger? Probs not, TBH.

Knafeh Bakery is the latest and greatest pop-up bakery, focusing on Middle Eastern street food, this family-run food truck has seen raging success. The entire production is run within a converted shipping container, with beautiful street art designed to take customers straight to the Middle East. Knafeh is a sweet dessert, made with sweet cheese or cream, finished with pistaschios and soaked in sugar-based syrup. Yum! The knafeh served by the Knafeh Bakery is made using a family recipe, and the chefs hope that sharing this dessert with Sydney will bring together people from many different races, religions and cultures, to share a love of food and tradition. We’re sold on the sound of that delicious sugar syrup!

Just three hours out of Sydney, Mayfield Garden is a charming destination that's fast becoming the artistic and entertainment hub of the Central West. Brimming with tasty eats and idyllic gardens, Mayfield Garden has a smorgasbord of fun events and is perfect for a weekend city escape or your next big milestone.

Okay, we love a good food truck, because what's better than fast, good food coming from Sofia (the truck has a name, we think it suits her) with cartoon vegetables on the side?

This Sydney food truck is tucked away in the streets of Marrickville delivering sweet treats to all. Famous for their Nutella jar stuffed full of waffles, ice cream, strawberries and (of course) Nutella, this gooey yet toasty treat will really hit your sweet spot, completed with a blank name tag to be filled at your will.
