Given how close we are to China, good Chinese food isn’t hard to come by in Australia. But great Chinese food? That’s where local knowledge makes all the difference. Our Travel & News Editor, Melissa Woodley, grew up eating congee for breakfast, barbecue pork buns for school lunch and Sunday yum cha as a weekly tradition. She and her team of expert local writers across the country have curated this list of Australia’s best Chinese restaurants, so no matter which capital city you’re in, you can feast on the finest flavours.
