Darlinghurst Dining Tour

Their Darlinghurst dining tour begins at Toei a contemporary Korean / Japanese dining room where we enjoy an exclusive menu of Asian snacks matched with fabulous cocktails. Located across next to the Darlinghurst Rainbow crossing on the edge of the high-energy pulse of Oxford Street. You can feel the grit that holds together this nightlife precinct, building on its rich history of gay-culture, colourful street art and darker side of Sydney's nightlife. Discover Victoria Street's lively dining precinct and the latest contemporary dining room in a Sydney terrace house above a pumping bar. Modern Australian cuisine is well-represented with Italian and South East Asian-influenced dishes. Darlo has it all. The Sydney Connection takes private bookings for two - six guests per booking and visits four venues on each walk, enjoying a different course at each venue accompanied by matching wine. Bookings are essential.

Potts Point Dining Tour

Bar Hernandez is a modern-day homage to old-school European wine and aperitivo bars and the starting point for our Potts Point Dining Tour. Potts Point has been entertaining locals and visitors alike since the 1940s and she does it well. Whether you're dining alfresco on a vibrant laneway with seventies-style lights or in an eccentric old terrace house of a back street, you will feel the history but also enjoy the innovation of the young chefs and mixologists who call PoPo home. The grandness of the Macleay Street Art Deco apartment blocks and dining rooms will transport you to Europe but with an Australian accent. The Sydney Connection takes private bookings for two - six guests per booking and visits four venues on each walk, enjoying a different course at each venue accompanied by matching wine. Bookings are essential.

This is a terrific food tour. We selected the Potts Point location because we knew we would not get to see this area of Sydney otherwise. We loved it so much we went back the next night! Booking with Maree was easy and communication before our arrival was excellent. We selected meeting at the first stop, and when we arrived we were immediately warmly greeted and felt at ease. All the food was unique and delicious! We enjoyed the fact that Maree arranged for all the food and settled the bill at each location, and there was plenty of food to feel satiated but not bloated. You get a little history and a sense of what it’s like to live in Sydney. We discovered that many of the issues neighbors face in Potts Point are exactly the same at home! Maree is friendly, funny, and interesting. You should feel confident booking this tour!
