Clove Lane
20 Sydney cafés and restaurants to add to your American Express delicious. Month Out dining hit-list
This May, Sydney welcomes American Express delicious. Month Out for the second year running. And with the local dining industry having experienced one of the hardest hit years we’ll see in our lifetime with last year’s lockdown, a celebration of dining out couldn’t come at a better time. When has helping out ever tasted so good? For an entire month, the city will roll out an exciting line-up of restaurant offers, dining events and eating experiences. And, from April 30 to May 31, 2021, drop by any of the participating partner venues to receive 20% back each time when you use your American Express Card (up to $25 back). Remember to save the offer to your eligible Card first. Enrollment is limited. Exclusions, T&C Apply*. Want to know which venues are involved? We’ve rounded up 20 in Sydney – all locals’ favourites. This gallery is in partnership with American Express.
Chiswick
Housed in an airy pavilion dining room set on a beautiful garden, Chiswick feels more like a wealthy friend’s home in the countryside than a restaurant right outside Sydney, in Woollahra. Each dish here showcases some aspect of the veggie patch outside.
Capriccio Osteria E Bar
Leichardt is known for its authentic Italian, and Capriccio Osteria E Bar does not disappoint. Here you’ll find handmade pastas and wood-fired oven pizzas, along with a chef’s signature menu should you not be able to decide. Proudly part of Shop Small by American Express.
Nour Sydney
The ancient cuisine that is Lebanese gets a fresh twist at Nour in Surry Hills. Think falafel dumplings, fried cauliflower stuffed with wood-roasted grapes, and wagyu beef tongue with hummus, and you’ve got the right idea. Proudly part of Shop Small by American Express.
Bennelong
When you think Sydney fine dining, Bennelong immediately springs to mind. Housed across three floors of the Sydney Opera House, the dining institution features the best of Australian food and wine, all deliberately prepared and exquisitely presented.
Mr Wong
Two levels and beautiful industrial-slash-colonial interiors set the scene at Cantonese restaurant Mr Wong. A chattering, well-dressed crowd, the soundtrack. The Merviale-owned spot is a favourite for business lunches and dinners and special occasion meals.
One Penny Red
One Penny Red makes good use of its building, the old Summer Hill Post Office, with a downstairs dining room, upstairs indoor bar, a balcony and a deck. Downstairs is for sit-down dining, with a substantial menu on offer. Upstairs is more for mingling and groups. Lunch is a la carte; dinner’s a set menu.

6HEAD
Since opening in 2019, 6Head in Campbell’s Stores in The Rocks has carved out a name for itself for quality steaks. Tuck into a Wagyu or Tomahawk as you take in uninterrupted views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge and enjoy wood-accent surroundings.
Ruby Lane
Part café, part organic grocer, Ruby Lane has locations in Manly and Mona Vale. On the all-day brunch menu, you’ll find a range of healthy eats, including veggie bowls and smashed avo, and treats the likes of prebiotic cheesecake and bliss balls. Proudly part of Shop Small by American Express.
Soju Social
Soju is a clear alcoholic drink from South Korea (not unlike Japanese sake), and also the partial name of a new bar and restaurant in Bankstown. At Soju Social, order from all kinds of Korean fried chicken, stir fry or hot pots or a delicious cocktail menu. Proudly part of Shop Small by American Express.
El-Phoenician
Dining precinct ‘Eat Street’ in Parramatta is known for its great eating and drinking venues, and El-Phoenician is no exception. Choose from traditional mezze, char-grilled meats and fresh-tasting seafood on the menu or opt for a platter or banquet option for a feast of highlights.
