"Having been listed in Monocle’s top 10 restaurants in the world, The Apollo is an absolute must for Greek loving Sydneysiders. The menu is one of our favourite spots for a decadent degustation and right now you can order the delicious 'Full Greek' menu to enjoy in the comfort of your own home. Drawing on the joint heritage of Jonathan Barthelmess and Longrain’s Sam Christie – these dishes from roasted lamb shoulder, dips and salty oozy saganaki cheese are downright delicious."

"The Apollo has put contemporary Greek food on the local map. Shared plates are designed to bring the table together – start with the more traditional taramasalata mullet roe dip with warm pita and olives or the more innovative saganaki cheese with honey and oregano. Heartier mains are cooked over wood and charcoal, from barbecued octopus and white beans to oven-baked lamb shoulder with lemon and Greek yogurt."

If you're not a Chinese nanna, you might have to arm wrestle the waitress for it, but persevere."

"Already a firm contender for one of the best yum cha restaurants in the CBD, this new restaurant is a huge space serving up delicious classics. The flavours at The Eight capture the very best of contemporary and classic Chinese dishes. The menu includes a banquet, a la carte and a dedicated dim sum menu."
