Sydney has a lot to offer when it comes to cafes, restaurants and pubs. The rich diversity of the city's population is reflected in its eating establishments - you'll feel like you have an entire atlas to choose from! Whether you're in favor of local Australian food or something a bit more exotic from the corners of the world, you'll find it in Sydney.

Want to try traditional Australian food? Consider a trip to Harry's Cafe de Wheels - they're rumored to have the best meat pies in town. If you'd like to try bush-tucker - Aboriginal food featuring kangaroo and other unusual ingredients - you'll find it at a number of select restaurants. While it's only been legal to serve kangaroo since 1993, its popularity has grown with tourists who want to give it a try.

Sydney's location on the harbor makes seafood a restaurant staple. It's served exclusively by a number of leading restaurants around the city, including the Five Dock Seafoods Cafe and Fishface. These and many other restaurants have a fresh supply of the best seafood, including calamari and octopus, prawns, mussels, barramundi and snapper. That's all thanks to the nearby Sydney Fish Market.

The king of seafood restaurants in Sydney remains Doyles Hotel. It's the oldest seafood establishment in town, and it offers a great view of Watsons Bay from its location on the beachside.

For great Italian food, try Mezzaluna or Gelbison, though you shouldn't forget to look for some of the best pasta in the city in Little Italy (Norton Street in the Leichhardt inner city). Sydney's fashionable cafes also have a strong Italian influence. Check out some of these establishments on Potts Point, Bondi Beach, or Darlinghurst.

Some of the most popular, trendy spots in town are also great coffee places. Consider Tropicana, the Bills, La Buvette and Bar Coluzzi.

European influence on Sydney's cuisine also shows through in Bistro Moncur and Sel et Poivre, two of the city's popular French restaurants. Locals and foreigners also love the Spanish Capitan Torres and Greek Mykonos restaurants. Looking for Eastern European fare? Consider Corner 75, an excellent place to dine.

For Asian food, whether it's cuisine from the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, India, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Singapore or Iran, there'll be many options. Some of the best rated include Chinta Ria, Blue Elephant, Malaya and Lebanon and Beyond.

Lovers of Japanese food will be happy to know that Sydney can provide sashimi and sushi, teriyaki, tempura, and noodles. Check out Dragonfly, Raw Bra, Shimbashi or Sushi Shima.

For restaurant hoppers, each district offers a little something different. In the west suburbs, Turkish and Cambodian restaurants are great choices, while the south suburbs offer Lebanese and Greek food. In the north, expect great Japanese, African, and Indian restaurants, and European and Indonesian establishments to the south.

For those who love a good view as much as good food, the Boathouse, Catalina, and the Summit won't fail to please. Vegetarian diners will be happy with Harvest or Govinda's, and trend chasers will enjoy culinary enclaves like Hugo's and Bayswater Brasserie Restaurant.
