Following the side trip to NZ, I had 3 days left in Sydney to fit in a few last meals just to make absolutely sure that I would return to London with significant extra baggage, and I am not talking about the contents of my suitcase.
Like with my last Sydney post I am going to share a few images from each meal, with more details about the best later.
