The Best Restaurants in Potts Point

Updated 5 months ago

Share

Potts Point continues to be one of the most thrilling places to dine in Sydney. And that’s saying something. The lockout laws effectively decimated the area’s nightlife, and the pandemic only added insult to injury. And yet favourites including Fratelli Paradiso, Cho Cho San and Yellow have weathered the storm, a testament to how much the city loves – and still needs – these essential restaurants. And, just like this guide, the suburb continues to evolve. Read on for the latest and greatest restaurants in (and around) Potts Point.

  • Kisuke

    Restaurant

    A spot at Kisuke’s six-seat omakase counter is the closest you’ll get to Tokyo without leaving the city. Chef Yusuke Morita prepares raw and hibachi-grilled dishes before you as you dine. You’re in his hands, and all the better for it.

  • Bistrot 916

    Restaurant

    This neo-French bistro was the first of three venues from the trio behind Pellegrino 2000 and Clam Bar – and it’s still a knockout. Come for irreverent takes on classic bistro fare in a cool and understated space with a killer vinyl soundtrack.

  • Fratelli Paradiso

    Restaurant

    Whether you’re stopping in for that iconic lasagnette bolognaise or just a snack, Frat Paz nails it every time. Its groundbreaking wine list introduced the city to many minimal-intervention styles we're now obsessed with.

  • Chaco Bar

    Restaurant

    A homage to the grungy izakayas of Fukuoka, Japan. It’s a little more refined than that, but the yakitori is on-point, the beer is ice-cold, and the light is low enough to obscure the fact that you’re dining at the Paris end of Potts Point.

  • Cho Cho San

    Restaurant

    A fresh take on Japanese izakaya dining.

  • Franca

    Restaurant

    The menu at this handsome French brasserie channels the country’s Mediterranean coastal havens, where long lunches and elegant dinners are a way of life.

  • The Apollo

    Restaurant

    Tasty Greek share plates.

  • Ezra

    Restaurant

    A restaurant and bar inspired by the cosmopolitan dining scene of Tel Aviv. Here you'll find next-level hummus, whole flatheads marinated in chickpea miso and baklava ice-cream sandwiches.

  • Yellow

    Restaurant

    Sydney’s first fine-dining restaurant devoted to plants.

  • Caravin

    Restaurant

    Head to this Euro-inspired wine bar for French fare with a twist, and a wine list that balances natural drops and classic French ones.

  • Ms.G’s

    Restaurant

    The best elements of Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and American cuisine combined.

  • Bistro Rex

    Restaurant

    Sophisticated yet accessible Rex is one of the pillars of Potts Point’s French dining scene. It’s a place of Gallic standards done well, but the acclaimed wine list sees this Parisian-style bistro punching well above its weight.

  • Dear Sainte Eloise

    Bar

    The sister venue of Love, Tilly Devine is perfect for a date night of snacks and wine.

  • Acqua e Farina

    Restaurant

    A 15-seater in Potts Point serving just five styles of pasta, by a former Metisse head chef.

  • Bones Ramen

    Restaurant

    A small, rustic space focusing on just four types of ramen and a tight list of snacks. Go for the classic Tokyo-style shoyu ramen, made with 18-hour broth and topped with a gooey soy egg.

  • Diana

    Restaurant

    This fun-loving Korean eatery and karaoke bar has two rules: no requests and no Daryl Braithwaite. It's a joyful spot otherwise, where you can feast on bulgogi and Korean fried chicken before belting out The Backstreet Boys and Madonna.

  • Chester White

    Restaurant

    Cured meats are the star at this tiny Italian diner.

  • et.al

    Restaurant

    A casual alleyway eatery, where Impromptu Dining used to be.

  • Tacos Tacos Tacos

    Restaurant

    The Caravin team’s cosy neon-lit Mexican joint looks like it’s been there forever – and the tacos are strong contenders for the best in the city.
