The Sydney Connection conducts inner city dining walks of Surry Hills, Darlinghurst and Potts Point. Accompanied by a well-connected local guide, our walks are aimed at visitors and Sydneysiders who want to go ‘where the locals go’.

We offer our guests the chance to experience Sydney’s fabulous small bar culture and dine at four different inner-city Sydney restaurants in one evening. It’s a great opportunity if you are only spending a short time in our city and want to gain an understanding of our food culture and night time vibe.

You can also ask your guide all your Sydney questions: our history, the demographics of the precinct, the latest real estate prices or just where to go for breakfast.

Potts Point has been entertaining locals & visitors alike since the 1940’s and she does it well. Whether your dining alfresco on a vibrant laneway or in an eccentric old terrace house on a back street.
