Welcome to the 2012 edition of Everyday Eats, a guide to the best of Sydney's affordable eateries. We've hungrily chomped, gobbled, slurped and sipped our way across our sprawling city, to put together a collection of restaurants, bars and cafes that serve up the kind of meals we crave each and every day (good food and plenty of it). And with more than 520 listings, we've got you and your appetite covered, every day, for more than a year.
For any eatery to be included in The Sydney Morning Herald Everyday Eats 2012, the bill must be $30 a head or less, for two courses, not including drinks. While Everyday Eats Awards are given for extra-special eateries, every entry in the guide has been rated with either one, two or three stars, based on the food, value, ambience and service. In addition, places serving exceptionally good coffee are flagged with a coffee cup symbol.
