The Best Cafes and Restaurants to Visit In Potts Point
It's been a bumpy decade for inner city suburb Potts Point. The area has been rocked by lockout laws, COVID-19 restrictions and the closure of some big-name restaurants. But it's bouncing back. Exciting and innovative restaurants are popping on almost every street, 'for lease' signs are being replaced by new bars and archaic liquor licence restrictions are being overturned. The area is abuzz with potential. That said, there are still plenty of old favourites that've survived the ups and downs worth visiting. So, we've rounded up the best of the best. The newbies worth checking out for the first time and the golden oldies worth returning to for a 50th saganaki or tiramisu.
