THE BEST RESTAURANT IN SYDNEY

As part of my tradition, every time that I am in Sydney I like to have lunch at Machiavelli’s on Clarence Street. Greetings are a lengthy affair. Giovanna and her daughter Caterina, are the owners of the restaurant and no matter how busy they are, they always sit me at my usual table in the main room. Ricki, the waiter who has been working there since the day they opened, places a glass of Greco di Tufo in front of me and then magically a row of four deep-fried zucchini flowers filled with ricotta cheese, appear on a plate. Lunch at Machiavelli it's not just a meal, it's a grand experience that it's followed by a walk down to Circular Quay and the Opera House. A view that I like to bring back with me to Los Angeles.





I forgot to add a couple of photos to the list below. They are part of Peter's garden. The first is the flower of a South African apple tree. The second is one of the surprises that you can find in an Australian garden. I hope you will enjoy it!
