Rare beef noodle soup with fried dough stick bread and onsen egg.
13.5/20

This new CBD restaurant serves excellent pho – just don’t ask for bean sprouts and Thai basil

Chilli crab linguine.
14.5/20

Well-heeled locals are lapping up this breezy restaurant (and its ‘bang on’ chilli crab pasta)

Every table at Henrys seems to order the linguine and I get it, I really do. But don’t miss the exemplary dessert, too.

Olympus Dining’s retractable oculus glass ceiling looks like it came off the set of Dr. No.
14.5/20

Move over Totti’s, Olympus makes a bid for Sydney’s long-lunch crown

There isn’t a more in-demand restaurant in Sydney right now, but does the food (and service) live up to the hype?

Amatrice Rooftop is a red velvet and stone salon up in the clouds.
13/20
