There’s more to eating in Byron than beachfront tables and smoothie bowls. Start with breakfast on the hill, duck into town for proper coffee and ramen, make Wategos your excuse for a long lunch, then come back for natural wine, pasta and a night at the Rails. Eight stops that give you a very good reason to stay out all day.

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.
