Forget polished dining rooms, Toby Wilson’s Sydney is found in shopping centre arcades, family-run food courts and suburban institutions. This guide covers the spots he keeps coming back to for Taiwanese breakfasts, iconic laksa, Hainanese chicken rice and some of the city’s most underrated cheap eats.
Angel Place’s Ragazzi is one of the CBD’s most-loved dining spots, serving traditional hand-rolled, shaped and pinched Italian pasta shapes, with sauces and snacks that are uniquely ours. The menu changes regularly according to what’s in season. Much like in the kitchen, Ragazzi's 250 bottle-heavy wine list highlights both classic and contemporary Italian winemaking, while paying full respect to the growing use of native Italian varieties in Aus.

Forget polished dining rooms, Toby Wilson’s Sydney is found in shopping centre arcades, family-run food courts and suburban institutions. This guide covers the spots he keeps coming back to for Taiwanese breakfasts, iconic laksa, Hainanese chicken rice and some of the city’s most underrated cheap eats.
Australian cricket legend Adam Gilchrist keeps it simple when it comes to a good bar — “something a little bit darker and closed,” with a good crowd and a strong drink in hand. From tequila sipping to rum-heavy cocktails, here’s where he’s drinking in Sydney.
Chef Dan Hong (Mr Wong, Ms. G, Establishment & Mumu4u) has spent his career shaping Sydney’s modern Asian dining scene. When he’s not running restaurants or chasing new flavours, he’s eating across the city. From intimate sushi counters to late-night dumpling houses and spicy Thai spots in Chinatown. Here are the places he keeps going back to.
Twins Andrew Yee and Chris Yee, artists and co-founders of Yellow Belly, have spent decades championing Asian-Australian stories through film, art and community. When they’re not building cultural platforms, they’re deep in Haymarket. Moving between Steam Mill Lane, late-night Taiwanese, and old-school mall gems, this is their Haymarket circuit.
