Baccomatto Osteria
For a fine dining experience in a trendy, modern setting, head to Baccomatto Osteria. After relocating from its Surry Hills HQ to Randwick's Newmarket hub, this high-end Italian restaurant has become a trusted go-to for special occasions.
The head chef brings his Midas touch to the food with the menu divided into antipasti, pizza, pasta and secondi. We're eyeing off the tagliatelle al ragu with mixed mushrooms, porcini butter, parmesan, slow-braised wagyu beef and pork ragu and the sopressa pizza with tomato, hot salami, fior di latte and red onion. Bene!

Clove Lane
With its open-plan fit-out and moreish menu that changes daily based on the best ingredients available, Clove Lane is one of the most beloved restaurants in Randwick. Chef-owner Emile Avramides serves up a seasonally driven, dynamic menu that's great for sharing.
It's the perfect balance of fine dining food with a relaxed, neighbourhood feel. Menu highlights include anchovy toast, gnocchi with broccolini, chilli and bottarga and glazed pork cutlet.

Maybe Frank
Maybe Frank is an award-winning Italian pizza bar that's all about serving up old-fashioned fun with your slice of pizza. This place is always packed and buzzing thanks to its epic cocktails (get the jasmine negroni and thank us later), which are matched by the mouthwatering menu.
Our top picks would be the prosciutto pizza, lasagne and homemade tiramisu for dessert, but it's all worth trying!
69 Perouse Road, Randwick
Lebanon & Beyond
With colourful interiors, an impressively long menu and a BYO wine offer, Lebanon & Beyond is all about good food and good vibes.
Skip the decision-making and opt for the Chef’s Banquet. The four-course meal is made up of hummus and tabbouli to start, followed by meaty or vegetarian delights (like shish kebabs or stuffed zucchini), and baklava for dessert. You'll want to be hungry for this one.

Soul Burger
Cult plant-based burger joint, Soul Burger, is a hit among locals and visitors alike. Don’t be afraid to bring your meat-loving friends, because the burgers here are just as juicy and filling as the real thing.
The southern fried chicken burger layers cajun seasoned fried plant patty with crispy slaw, jalapeños, SB sauce and tomato relish, and pairs well with a serving of thick-cut sweet potato chips and a coconut milkshake.

It doesn't take bookings but walk-ins are very welcome, making it an unbeatable place for casual dinners. The pizza is consistently good, and our top pick every time has to be The Randwick Pizza: olives, anchovies, capers, basil and semi-sundried tomatoes - it's also a favourite among the locals.
