Sydney Food Guide

“Sydney’s culinary innovations are popularly known to #BreakTheInternet. Thus, it is impossible for a tourist to try each and every spot we lay our eyes on, on Instagram… ❤”

– By Robbie Hammond (follow his journey on Instagram and Facebook)

To help us all, Robbie – one of the leading food bloggers, who has literally tried almost EVERY grammable joint, has listed down some of the best cafes and dessert spots to try in Sydney (you rather not slack at spots that aren’t worth it 😉 )! PS: Robbie’s Instagram feed is to-die-for!

5. Blackstar Bakery

Rob recommends: Strawberry and Watermelon Cake

🍓 Strawberry Watermelon 🍓 Two layers of almond dacquosie, rose scented cream, watermelon, strawberries, pistachios, and dried rose petals @blackstarpastry Watermelon is one of the few things I don't like. Yup I said it, I hate watermelon! I've been seeing this famed strawberry watermelon cake for too long. I decided it was time to remove with surgical accuracy the watermelon from the cake. The result was a delicious Strawberry cake ❤️ #blackstarpastry #newtown #sydney #sydneyfoodie #strawberry #watermelon #cake #pistachio #itd_be_rude_not_to #sydneyfood #sydneyeats #dessert #sweets #birthday #birthdaycake #sweettooth #zomatoaus #eeeeeats #f52grams #lickyourphone #foodpics #foodie #instagood #foodstagram #summer #🍉 #🍓
