Private food tours of inner city Sydney
Hello!
The Sydney Connection curates private dining tours around our favourite Sydney precincts of Surry Hills, Darlinghurst and Potts Point.
Accompanied by a well-connected guide, our tours are aimed at visitors and Sydneysiders who want to go ‘where the locals go’ for inspiring food, good service and cool interiors.
We offer our guests the chance to experience Sydney's fabulous small bar culture and dine at multiple inner-city Sydney restaurants in one evening. It's a great opportunity if you are only spending a short time in our city and want to gain an understanding of our food culture and night time vibe.
Wine & dine with a local!
Surry Hills
We begin our dining tour of Surry Hills at Eileen’s Bar - part of the Four Pillars gin empire. Positioned on a tree lined street featuring grand Victorian terraces dressed in filigree.
With cuisines from Italy, France and the Middle East you are spoiled for choice on the menu in Surry Hills. Elegant restored pubs rub shoulders with on-trend cafes and restaurants with secret, lush courtyards. There’s a relaxed vibe with fabulous fashion and design retail windows competing for your eye as you stroll down Crown Street taking in the scene.
Darlinghurst
Our Darlinghurst dining tour begins at Avia, located at Taylor Square. A modern and vibrant dining room, the cuisine is influenced by Italian culinary traditions, offering a fusion of rustic flavours and ingredients.
Located across from the Darlinghurst Rainbow crossing, the heart of Oxford Streets high-energy pulse. You can feel the grit that holds together this nightlife precinct, building on its rich history of gay-culture, creative street art and the darker side of Sydney’s nightlife.
Potts Point
We kick off with a Spanish mezze board accompanied by a seasonal cocktail at Vermuteria in Potts Point.
Potts Point has been entertaining locals & visitors alike since the 1940’s and she does it well. Admire the grandness of Macleay Street’s Art Deco apartment blocks at the ‘Paris end’. Whether you’re dining alfresco on a vibrant laneway with seventies-style lights or in a grand terrace house on Kellett Street, you will feel the history amidst the innovative menus and cocktails.
