The Best Restaurants in Rockdale, Sydney (NSW)

Just south of the airport, Rockdale is close to the city while still just being a short drive away from beaches, particularly those along Botany Bay. It’s on the train line, with a major bus interchange also at Rockdale Station making it an easy suburb to get to by public transport. Close to the M5, it also provides easy access to the city’s west and eastern suburbs. Explore the wide streets on foot and find large heritage homes with expansive gardens and apartment buildings dotted through the suburb.

The neighbourhood has a very multicultural population, reflected in the diversity of food available (Bangladeshi, Chinese, Lebanese, Vietnamese, Pakistani, Nepalese, Thai, Filipino, Greek). It also means great grocery stores if you’re looking for something a bit different to cook with. Casual dining and takeaway options abound along the Princes Highway, as well as within Rockdale Shopping Plaza.
