That’s a Wrap: Taste of Sydney's Top Dishes
Some of Sydney’s top chefs and their teams flocked to Centennial Park for Taste of Sydney on the weekend to spoil us rotten with fantastic food, delicious wine and good times.
In partnership with Electrolux, the festival showcased an incredible spread of food from the hottest restaurants in town, from Biota to 4fourteen, Thievery to Firedoor.
While each restaurants' dishes blew us away in their own way, there were three that won the heart and soul of the show.

The top three dishes were:
1. Porteño’s Charcoal BBQ’d Octopus
Charred to perfection and served with perfectly balanced sweet and acidic preserved beetroot, yoghurt and pickled chilli, this was the standout dish of the festival. Ben Milgate and Abrahanowicz didn’t only win number one dish, they also won best dressed.. Of course.
2. Firedoor’s Firedoor Fries
While some were disappointed they weren't getting potato chips, others raved about Lennox Hastie’s perfectly seasoned grilled butter beans with romesco ketchup.
3. Salaryman’s Prawn Toast Okonomiyaki
Chef Stephen Seckold nailed every part of the Japanese pancake, from its crunchy texture to its umami flavour. We’re definitely going back to the Surry Hills eatery for more.
Other delectable dishes that deserve an honourable mention:
Three Blue Ducks’ iconic fried chicken and hotsauce.
Biota’s salted seaweed pretzel with smoked cheese sauce.
Thievery’s Ice Cream Kebab.
