About this event

We begin our dining tour in Surry Hills in the industrial interior of a gin distillery with its own bar! Positioned on a tree lined street with grand Victorian terraces dressed in filigree. With cuisines from Italy to the Middle East we are spoiled for choice in this part of inner-city Sydney.

The main streets of this precinct are a mix of commercial and residential buildings. Elegant restored pubs stand next to on-trend cafes with street seating and restaurants with secret lush courtyards hidden out back. Favoured by professional creatives and locals for breakfast, lunch and dinner there is always a new special or cocktail to discover. There’s a relaxed vibe with fabulous fashion and interior store windows competing for our eye, as we stroll down Crown Street taking in the scene.

Accompanied by a well-connected guide, our walks are aimed at visitors and Sydneysiders who want to go ‘where the locals go’ for inspiring food, good service and cool interiors. We take bookings for between 2 - 10 Guests per booking and visit 3 venues on each walk. Enjoying a different course at each venue accompanied by matching wine at the first two venues.

 Our Surry Hills walk starts at Four Pillars Eileen's Bar in their amazing industrial bar
