The Best Restaurants in Sydney

Chez Maurcie et Linda
Very few restaurants have ever made me salivate over the mere thought of their food but one that truly does is Chez Maurice et Linda in Balgowlah. This restaurant is by far the best French restaurant I have ever been to, in and outside of France and food critics from around the world have made it a point to stop by whenever they're in Sydney, including French food writers. You will never be disappointed dining at Chez Maurice et Linda, the food is always cooked to perfection and leaves you wanting more and more and more. My favourite meal is the garlic prawns for entrée, Châteaubriand as a main and rich chocolate mousse for dessert.   Chef Maurice enjoys coming out of the kitchen at the end of the night with a glass of vin rouge in his hand to chat with his guests.

Beaches Pizza Bar
You would expect that the best tasting pizzas in the world would be found in Italy but that's not the case at all. I've eaten pizzas all across the globe - in Europe, the USA, Asia, Australia, New Zealand etc and none of them even remotely compare to how fantastic they are at Beaches. They are the best pizzas I've ever had - by far. What makes them unique is the thin base and  the ample  toppings which are full of flavour. The pizzas not to be missed are their garlic bread with cheese, and the Cisco and Marinated Lamb pizzas - yum!  You know a restaurant is good when it's busy every night of the week and this one most definitely is!

The Coachman Russian Restaurant 
My favourite restaurant in all of Sydney when it comes to atmosphere has to be this place. I've been coming here for over 15 years with my family, usually to celebrate my birthday or any other significant occasion. They have live music in both English and Russian including many popular disco tracks which people are not shy to get up on the floor and dance to. Friday and Saturday nights feature dancing girls and a virtuoso violinist.
