Signature Searches

Time Out readers voted for their favourite unique eat worth searching for

FOR TIME OUT’S People’s Choice Award this year, we did something a little different. In partnership with Google, we hunted down five truly one-of-a-kind dishes from all across Sydney that no food fan will want to miss. These dishes are all delicious and all locatable through Google search terms yielding a specific and unique top result. We invited Time Out readers to find and try these Signature Searches, then vote for their favourite.
