Craving a bowl of pasta for lunch? (Us too.) Head to Bar Mammoni in Circular Quay, which has transformed into a pasta bar and deli offering takeaway pasta bowls, focaccia sandwiches and pastries. From rigatoni alla vodka to orecchiette with rocket pesto and pecorino, the pasta is made fresh daily by the team behind next door’s Grana, so you can count on it being on point.
Sure, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but lunchtime is arguably the most exciting. You shouldn’t have to settle for soggy sandwiches and last night’s leftovers when there are fresh and fun eats existing in all pockets of the city.
Whether you’re craving elevated sandwiches on oven-fresh bread, inspired savoury pastries, hearty bowls of laksa or build-your-own bentos, there’s something delicious on for lunch in Sydney every day of the week.
We've rounded up our favourite places to grab a quick lunch in Sydney's CBD. Whether its old, new, tucked away in the city's heart, or sitting on the fringe, we've got you covered when it comes to making the most of your lunchbreak, every day of the week.
