World-class events are about to kick off in the Harbour City - from Vivid Sydney (May 24 to June 15) to Sydney Film Festival (June 5 to 16). And if you're heading to the NSW capital for one of these, don't forget to check out some of the hottest new establishments, starting with Morena, housed in the 150-year-old GPO Building at Martin Place.
Seasoned chef Alejandro Saravia (best known for Farmer's Daughters in Melbourne) is serving up stellar Latin American dishes - from ocean-fresh ceviche prepared table-side to exceptionally delicate ox tongue skewers. Nearby, one of the city's most famous hospitality groups, Merivale, is turning up the heat, too, with not one but two new joints.
Head to Good Luck Restaurant Lounge on Bridge Street for chef Mike Eggert's soy-poached chicken in shisho dressing, or make your way to Jam Record Bar on Georgre Street, which is drawing crowds for both Japanese-inspired snacks as well as for its collection of 15,000 vinyl records. Just don't forget to drop in at Lumiere on Thirty Five on top of Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour for inventive cocktails with a side of water views. sydney.com
