THE URBAN LIST
(10 APRIL 2023) THE 31 BEST RESTAURANTS IN SYDNEY RIGHT NOW
“Schroeter's seasonal bistro menu does not disappoint with a selection of bespoke dishes like the chef's signature vanilla lobster and a seared strawberry foie gras stealing the show, alongside some seriously good gin-cured salmon with Yarra Valley salmon pearls. The Beckett's martini, made with Widges gin and Scarpa Vermouth di Torino Superiore, is a must. Wine is also extra special at Beckett's, thanks to sommelier Sasha Siljanovic (NOMAD, Spice Temple, St Isidore). ”
