We love being the envy of Sydney

Beautiful iron clad terrace homes lodged on tree-lined streets. Feel the pulsating energy as you meander up Oxford Street, the suburb’s artery. Cutting edge design and fashion. An inviting array of boutiques. Sophistication and trend combine. Convene for a latte on the sidewalk at Paddo’s 5 ways. Enjoy a crisp afternoon beer at the hidden back street pubs. Social. Bustling. Enviable. Paddington.

Cafes & Restaurants

1. Centennial Parklands Dining

Grand Drive
While theres always been somewhere to get something to eat on the grounds, theres never been anything as special as this. Split into three separate sections including a café and kiosk, this brand new fine diner offers interesting food in a beautiful setting. With views of the park including folks out walking their dogs and sweaty joggers puffing by, the rooms absolutely huge. Its as close to eating on the lawn as youll get in a restaurant. Chef David Whitting is running the show, which is no...

2. Tiger Mottle

248 Glenmore Rd
True love is what brought Tiger Mottle to the good people of Paddington. A former Allpress barista, owner Peter Henderson moved here from New Zealand to be with his partner, eventually setting up shop in Five Ways. Tiger Mottle refers to the ‘mottled surface of a perfect espresso extraction, which pretty much sums up this little Paddington local. A restored terrace, the café is all sleek white interiors while the front wall is decorated with a row of retro vinyl covers over a smart...

3. Buon Ricordo

108 Boundary St
Over the past 21 years, the walls of Buon Ricordo – one of Sydney’s most established restaurants – have held some of Sydney’s biggest hitters. Everyone from Cate Blanchett to Packer family captain John Alexan- has been spotted there, and it’s easy to see why: if you’ve got the moolah, and you order right, you’re in for something exceptional. Chef and restaurateur Armando Percuoco came to Australia in 1972 and brought serious, authentic Italian cooking with him, and he still stalks the floor...

4. Letoile

211 Glenmore Rd
In A View to a Kill, James Bond refers to French cocktails as "musical comedy drinks". You can see why with concoctions such as the Flirt Sur La Plage, described on the menu at Letoile as a "favourite in 80s French seaside resorts" (enough said). The combination of vodka, peach schnapps, cranberry and pineapple juice tastes exactly like a Frosty Fruit. Similarly hilarious French cocktails include the Paul Bocuse. Named for the famous French chef, its a mix of Champagne, crème de cassis and...

5. Sugo

10 Elizabeth St
Sugo is now closed and has been replaced by Cipri.This Paddo newbie is serving up traditional woodfired pizze including one with ‘nduja (a type of spicy sausage common to the cooking of Calabria and, for all you sausage nerds out there, a distance relative to the French sausage made from tripe and lard, andouille) as well as a very good margherita. There are a bunch of nice old Italian dudes running the fl oor and it’s a hop skip from Oxford Street....

9. Love Supreme

180 Oxford St
Love Supreme has the atmosphere of a neighbourhood restaurant where the owners remember your face and maybe even send over a bowl of olives with their compliments. Brought to you by Bosko Vujovic, the guy who made Arthur’s Pizza the Sydney icon it was, Love Supreme has the same jazzy, zany character and social club feel. Love Supreme uses organic produce as far as possible. Its always busy (dont go if youre in a mad rush) and extremely fun. The long marble table at the back is great for big...
