The summery pastry is on for a limited time only, celebrating the opening of the top Sydney bakery’s first outpost north of the bridge.

Slices from a NYC pizza institution. Renowned carbonara udon from Tokyo. Matty Matheson’s smash burgers. Plus a night market, AP Bakery sausage sizzle and more.

Plus, the just-opened wine bar he hits, an under-the-radar Japanese restaurant and his number-one pick for a special occasion. Plus, where he buys his bread.

These sugar-coated rings are fried fresh, ready to enjoy with a coffee in the bushy surrounds. Plus, four more doughnut stops to add to your list.

The decade-old Darlinghurst restaurant is getting a sibling, north of the bridge. The menu will look to Thailand’s Chinatowns, rounded out by a few Joe’s Table signatures.

After beloved Chinatown hole-in-the-wall Emperor’s Puffs shut suddenly in August, the family has reopened in a new location. But it’s not the only place to find the piping-hot sweet treats.

Plus, Sydney’s best banh mi according to chefs, a top cocktail bar returns and four cafes entering their wine bar era.

O’Donuts hits Haymarket with charmingly wobbly nama doughnuts. The texture is thanks to a 16-hour slow-ferment and pumpkin, with the dough fried till deep brown then stuffed with lightly sweet custard, matcha cream and more.

You’ll find bread, pastries and more from new teams and established favourites – from north of the bridge to Cronulla.

You already love these spots for coffee, brekkie and lunch. But a trend with a distinctly European edge is popping up: drop-in night-time services with sharp drinks lists and snacks.

Six months after the CBD’s “porn chic” cocktail bar closed, the team is back – with ’70s-inspired cocktails and French onion dip. Plus, made-to-order tailoring by day.

The harbourside outpost will have the Sydney bakery’s signature loaves, pastries, pies and more, plus an exclusive for what’s arguably Sydney’s best commute.
