Eating out in Chinatown and Haymarket

If you love good food then eating out in Chinatown is a must-do experience. Eat yum cha, a brunch/lunchtime tradition, where you choose from trolleys piled high with assorted Chinese "steam baskets". Don't forget to explore the Spanish Quarter around Goulburn Street.

About Chinatown and Haymarket

Capturing the colour and excitement of Asian streetlife, Chinatown and Haymarket offer an exciting mix of restaurants, food halls, noodle bars and quirky gift shops. Bargain-shops and Asian supermarkets also bring many visitors to the area, especially on weekends. Paddys Markets are open daily.

The busy streets in this Sydney city area have become a late-night entertainment precinct, with bars, theatres and cinemas pulsating into the night. Check out the Thai food and Korean cuisine that's become well established in the neighbourhood. Chinatown is a 15-minute walk from Circular Quay.
