Time Out's picks of the hottest restaurants in Sydney that let you bring your own for less than a latte
Sushi Yachiyo |
|
Darlinghurst |
Owner/chef Mitsuhiro Yashio has an eye for detail and his creativity shines in the unusual offerings on the menu. Sashimi (try bonito and scallop) is plated in thick, fleshy mounds and accompanied by fine slices of green shiso. Miso lettuce tsutsumi is a twist on Chinese san choy bow where grainy, almost earthy pork mince sits in snack-sized lettuce cups. BYO: $3.20 per person |
La Locanda |
|
Bronte |
La Locanda is a sweet little restaurant right in the heart of Bronte and a great place to go for an easy, local meal if this is your 'hood. There is a pappardelle with duck and pea ragout, or, considering your coastal locale, go for the fish of the day. BYO: Wine only, $5 per person |
La Piadina |
|
Bondi |
Thin, slightly scorched flat bread is made from dough that's rolled out super-thin, spread out on a hotplate and holds anything from nduja to mozzarella, salami, prosciutto or Nutella. An individual serve is enough even if you're super-hungry, but order a few in a group so you can try everything. BYO: $2.50 per person |
Sapporo |
|
Crows Nest |
For a really good idea of what these guys can do, ask for omakase – this basically means that you're putting your trust in the chef to create whatever he wants to make for you. In return, you might see raw scampi, lightly seared kingfish, and slices of salmon plumped up with salmon roe. BYO: Wine only, $5.50 per bottle |
Emma's on Liberty |
|
Enmore |
As Lebanese as you'll find outside the Middle East and bung in the heartlands of the Inner West. It's the rose water Turkish delight we hold so dear, not to mention the cracker baba ghanoush. The garlic prawns here are heavenly, as is the garlic paste generally, so bring a mint if it's a first date. BYO: Wine only, $3.50 per person |
Xage |
|
Surry Hills |
Xage (pronounce it 'sage') is cheap, it's run by a friendly crew and best of all, is super casual. Make sure to try some of their signature dishes (marked on the menu) such as the slow-cooked pork kho, the slow-cooked beef curry with lotus roots or the yellow curry of chicken potato and okra topped with a mess of green onion. BYO: $3 per person |

Cafe DOV in Potts Point is one of my favourite BYOs ($5 per bottle, wine only). The special of braised lamb served in a whole baby pumpkin is one of the best things I've eaten this Autumn/Winter, while my dining partner also raved about his pistachio-stuffed pork tenderloin, roasted apple & fennel gallette from the regular menu. I love the low lighting and neighbourhood bistro vibe, although I'd ask for a table away from the door, to avoid the whiff of smokers outside.
