The Sydney Connection curates dining walks around our favourite Sydney precincts of Surry Hills, Darlinghurst and Potts Point.
Accompanied by a well-connected guide, our walks are aimed at visitors and Sydneysiders who want to go ‘where the locals go’ for inspiring food, good service and cool interiors. We take bookings for between 2 - 6 Guests per booking and visit 3 venues on each walk. Enjoying a different course at each venue accompanied by matching wine.
We also regularly stage food events as part of the best-known events that celebrate the inspirational food culture our city has to offer: Good Food Month, Sydney Craft Week and Sydney Mardi Gras. Some of Sydney’s most-loved bars, and restaurants have hosted our events over the past six years: Brix Distillers, Bartolo, Dulcie's, Loluk Bistro and many more.
