Where to Eat in Sydney CBD
The CBD can turn almost any craving into a detour, whether I am ducking down a laneway for ramen, taking a lift to rooftop cocktails or settling in for afternoon tea. These are my finds for quick lunches, old city favourites and dinners that make going into town feel like an occasion.
Featured Story Funda - Modern Korean in Neon-lit Sydney
Funda is a Korean restaurant in the city dishing up modern takes of classic Korean dishes and DJ tunes in the background. There's a delicious version of traditional tempura seaweed rolls, burrata paired with soy cured prawns, a cheesy potato and cheese pancake and fun cocktails in a bright, neon lit restaurant that is designed to give Y2K vibes.
