The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2009

For more than two decades, The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guidehas provided expert advice on negotiating the minefield that is the Sydney restaurant scene, keeping residents and visitors in touch with the best, the most interesting, and the most innovative places to dine in the city and suburbs, and further afield in regional New South Wales. For the 2009 edition, food connoisseurs Simon Thomsen, Joanna Savill and their team have visited over 400 restaurants, and numerous bars and cafes, setting down their impressions with the flair, insight and razor-sharp wit for which the guide has become known. In one of the most anticipated events of Sydney's gourmet calendar, the Good Food Guide 2009will announce a list of award-winners in various categories, restaurants that will go on to set the standards by which others are judged in the coming year.
