In 2023, Sydney is well and truly alive with a flurry of delicious dining and drinking options. After a couple of years of turbulence, followed by a hospitality-industry resurgence last year, Sydney’s food and drinks scene is buzzing. There seem to have been more new restaurant and bar openings in the past 12 months than we’ve seen for a long time. As well as more fresh offerings from existing establishments. More innovation. More diversity. And we’re absolutely here for it.
So Time Out’s food and drink critics have had their work cut out for them, doing what they do best – eating and drinking their way around Sydney to give our readers what Time Out has long specialised in: independent critical reviews of the city’s best.
Now, we’re almost ready to share with you our findings. The Time Out Food & Drink Awards Sydney 2023, in partnership with Tyro, are almost here!
The nominees will be announced on September 18, and the winners revealed at a special event on October 9.
