The 2026 Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide is your essential companion to eating out in NSW and the ACT. 

And with more than 600 independent reviews of restaurants, bars, pubs and cafes across various price points, cuisines, styles and suburbs, it’s the largest SMH Guide ever published.

That full A to Z list of reviews are available to explore at the home of the Guide, the Good Food app, but consider this 80-page publication as your companion to the 2026 edition. 

Along with all the usual Guide features such as winners, for the first time the Guide – presented by Oceania Cruises and T2 Tea – includes the 115 essential restaurants that define dining out in NSW and the ACT right now. 

These venues, hatted or not, are the places our editors urge you to visit, either to discover something new, to be reminded of how our cities, towns and suburbs have evolved or to luxuriate in the pleasure of dining somewhere at its peak. 

Your 80-page Guide publication includes:

• Award winners including Restaurant of the Year, Chef of the Year, New Restaurant of the Year.

• A list of one, two and three hat winners.

• 115 reviews.

• The innovators shaping the NSW and ACT dining scenes.
