If you're a foodie at heart, then you know how important amazing food is. Some venues do it better than others, so if food is a top priority for you when it comes to your wedding or event venue selection, then you're at the right place! We've shortlisted some of our favourite spaces that have high quality food, to help you plan your next event:
Botanic House
Chef and Masterchef Judge Luke Nguyen has designed the modern Asian Australian museum at Botanic House, a beautiful modern and clean venue located in the middle of the Sydney's Royal Botanical Gardens. Simply a footstep away from a multitude of ceremony options, this makes for the perfect cosmopolitan garden wedding setting!
Chiswick Restaurant
Chiswick is owned by celebrated chef Matt Moran, known for his philosophy of seasonal and fresh produce with local grown garden ingredients. The Woollahra venue is beautiful for its aesthetics, where guests can enjoy the fresh, seasonal and delicious menu, both indoor and outdoors.

Employees Only
Craving for an intimately glam, New York inspired bougie wedding reception venue within Sydney CBD? Look no further than the private function room of speakeasy bar/restaurant Employees Only. A decadent space with gorgeous green velvet, gold and dark wooden tones, along with a superb menu… and the most delicious cocktails to boot!

Ripples Chowder Bay
As part of the Sydney Restaurant Group, Ripples Chowder Bay has been a go-to for its delicious food, as well as its award winning food and service. What's interesting about this location is also that it is a heritage building, which was once a submarine miners' depot!

Three Blue Ducks, Rosebery
Located in a converted industrial warehouse, Three Blue Ducks in Rosebery is one of several in the TBD family of restaurants. They have a strong emphasis with cooking with smoke - think Argentinian wood-fired oven and charcoal pits - with three celebrity chefs at the helm (Masterchef winner Andy Allen, alongside Darren Robertson and Mark Labrooy).

Restaurant Hubert
For smaller, intimate weddings and private events with a luxurious French twist, Hubert in Sydney CBD is on point. With space options including the main dining room to the beautifully restored 'Theatre Royal', Hubert is gorgeous Merivale dig, with quality french fare.

The Gidley
A very hidden away, exclusive private dining space at The Gidley (by the same group behind Bistecca), is available for reservations. Dripping with old world decadence, with a meat lovers focussed menu and private bar, The Gidley is an interesting, smaller and unique space to be considered for a small wedding or event.
