bel mondo is commonly rated one of the top restaurants in Sydney – it specialises in dazzling Italian/Australian creations by Franca Manfredi and her son Stefano – so it usually requires a booking to get in and a hefty wallet to get out again. A cheaper alternative is the anti bar at the front of the restaurant. The menu is different but the chefs are the same and prices are substantially lower. Naturally, the antipasto selection is the one to go for but there is a small yet first-class lineup of hot dishes as well. Average price is $50 (£20).
