Top 5 spots for international food in Australia

Italian – Little Italy in Leichardt, Sydney is famous for some of the best rustic Italian food in Australia. The European style piazza of Norton Street has a vibrant café culture and hosts the annual Italian Festa.

Vietnamese – as well as having some of the best food in Australia across the board, Melbourne is home to a vibrant Vietnamese community. Head to Victoria Street in Richmond to find tens of Vietnamese restaurants and enjoy a bowl of bun (noodles) or steaming, herbaceous pho (soup).

French – Sydney may be on the other side of the globe but that hasn’t stopped French cuisine making an impact with fine dining restaurants and traditional French patisseries dotted all around the city. Potts Point and Balmain residents are lucky to have some of the best on their front door.

Cantonese – head to Chinatown in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane for a fun and authentic Yum Cha experience. Lunch on Sundays is the time to go and choose goodies from bamboo baskets filled with every type of dim sum such as steamed buns, dumplings and rice noodle rolls and wash it down with pots of tea.

Swedish – embrace beloved Nordic culinary delights found in colder climes such as Sweden and try some of Tasmania’s famous salmon and oysters while marveling at the spectacular natural environment.

And of course, if you don’t want to trek here, there and everywhere to enjoy the international flavours of food in Australia, rejoice in the fantastic Sydney takeaway food scene – where you can get anything delivered to your door without heading into town – let alone going abroad!
