TOP 100 QUEST: MOON PARK, Sydney
Well, this place is a surprise – firstly, it’s in Sydney’s Redfern, and secondly, from the outside, it certainly doesn’t look anything like a Top 100 restaurant. In fact, we went past a couple of times in the taxi trying to find something that looked like a restaurant. It’s upstairs on a corner and there’s hardly any signage to be seen. But, one thing is for sure, the food is Read more
SUKHUMVIT SOI 38, Adelaide

KAZUKI’S, Daylesford: If there’s one restaurant you should go to, it’s this one. Not currently included on the Top 100 list, but it certainly should be! It’s ridiculously good. Blending modern Australian and Japanese, this food is different, beautiful and delicious. The decor is relatively simple with colourful paper Read more
TOP 100 QUEST: PROVENANCE, Beechworth Victoria
Set up in Beechworth’s old bank building, this place is quite the find. A restaurant with luxury accommodation out the back, this place is worth the 3 hour drive from Melbourne airport.
