SMH Good Food Guide 2010 Reviews
The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide celebrates the best in dining in and around Sydney. Since its conception in 1975, the Herald Good Food Guide has documented the rise and fall of restaurant talent. Editors and their teams of experienced reviewers have followed local and international Sydney chefs through the highs and lows of their careers, and have told us where to dine and what to expect. Every restaurant is assessed according to the stringent rating system, and those who perform at the peak of the industry are rewarded with the highest Australian restaurant accolade: one, two or three chef's hats. This rich history of industry knowledge makes the Good Food Guide the definitive dining companion.
