These sprawling Sydney spots are here for you when you're looking to book for a group of ten or more people.
Whether you're trying to organise a birthday, a farewell or just a good time with a heap of your friends, there are times when you're on the hunt for great Sydney restaurants that take big group bookings. While the obvious place for your mind to go is your favourite diner or drinking hole, not all of our favourite inner-city haunts and beachside bars are fit for a large group.
We've put together a list of Sydney's best restaurants where you can book a table for ten or more without taking up the whole restaurant. These sprawling venues come fitted with large open spaces, crowd-pleasing set menus and an array of wine and cocktails.
