Other Cities
- Sydney — Sydney's food scene is Asian and Middle Eastern first - Vietnamese in Cabramatta, Cantonese and yum cha across Haymarket, Chatswood and Hurstville, Korean around Eastwood and Strathfield, Lebanese and wider Middle Eastern cooking through Lakemba, Bankstown and Auburn. The cafe and brunch culture is the city's other defining trait, with coffee standards that travel better than most Australian exports, while the harbour and coastal suburbs supply the seafood and the modern Australian tasting menus. Surry Hills, Newtown and Marrickville hold the inner-city independents, and Parramatta functions as a second centre with dining depth of its own. Prices lean expensive around the harbour and the inner east, with the western and southwestern suburbs offering the best value in the metro.
- Melbourne — Melbourne has one of the strongest and most diverse food scenes in the Southern Hemisphere, shaped by waves of Greek, Italian, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Indian immigration. The cafe culture is genuinely world-class, and the laneway dining tradition gives the CBD a density of restaurants that rivals much larger cities. Fitzroy and South Yarra lead on quality, while Brunswick and Footscray offer the best value and the deepest multicultural range. Prices are moderate to expensive, with the inner suburbs offering better value than the CBD.
