A trip to Sydney is not complete if you do not partake in some of the best pubs, steakhouse and bistros that are available in this city down under. There may be some people that think that all of the pubs in Sydney are the same. They may picture a crocodile hunter walking up to the bar and ordering a “beer, mate” That may be the image that a Sydney pub has for some, but it is not based on reality. Sydney not only has some great pubs that offer drinks and fantastic food, they also have some of the best steakhouses and bistros anywhere.

All you need to do is know where to find them. This list of the top five Pubs, Steakhouses and Bistros should help.

5. Baroque – Bistro, Bar and Patisserie – This restaurant that is located in the city centre area of Sydney is a French inspired bistro with some nice upgrades to the traditional Bistro fare. Grilled Lamb rump, grilled Angus steak and a chicken liver parfait are just some of the foods that you will find on the menu. The desserts that are offered are also top notch. End your meal with a raspberry soufflé or a Tahitian vanilla braised pineapple and you will not leave hungry or disappointed. The casual ambiance and the great drinks are what help put this place on the list.

4. The Royal George - When looking for a great pub in Sydney, you need to consider two things. The beer and the food. The Royal George is able to deliver in both of these areas. Not only have they had the latest royal baby in England named after their pub, they also know how to make their guests happy. They are open until 4 am on the weekends and 2 am on the weeknights. The only night they close early is Sunday when they close the doors at 10 pm. You will get to eat some classic pub food. Choose from a classic burger or go for the grass fed sirloin steak that will make your mouth water. Top it off with their award winning chips and a gold beer or glass of wine and you will be happy.

3. Prime Restaurant – When it comes to finding the best steakhouse there is only one thing that matters and that is the beef. Prime Restaurant gives you some great choices when it comes to steak. Go for the Wagyu beef that Australia is famous for or choose an Angus steak if you like. There is also the option of Angus Hereford Yearlings if you like. Any choice you make, you will not go wrong. They know how to handle their beef in Australian and Prime restaurant is doing it just right.

2. Bistro Moncur – This is located in the Woolahara hotel. There may be some people that think any restaurant on a hotel does not belong on this list, but they are wrong. The French inspired menu at Bistro Moncur is great. The French onion soufflé is prepared perfectly every time. The wine list that accompanies the meal offers the perfect complement to the well prepared food. Do not ignore this place because it is in a hotel.

1. Murphy’s Bar and Grill – This place tops the list because it combines the best of two worlds. Steaks and a pub. Enjoy the great burger, steaks and chips while you sit back and enjoy a cold beer. It is a great place to eat and hang out in and is the best that Sydney has to offer.
