Sydney Food Tour: Oxford Street to Surry Hills

This guided food tour takes you through Oxford Street and into Surry Hills, combining local history with a steady run of tastings. Along the way, you’ll explore a part of Sydney shaped by post-war migration, with influences from Greece, Italy and Portugal still visible in the food scene, shops and streetscape. Expect eight tastings across the tour, including dishes like fresh Sydney oysters, stuffed zucchini flowers, Greek honey biscuits, butcher’s choice, ginger beer, local wines and a mystery secret dish. It’s a more premium food walk than a quick snack stop, and it’s strictly for adults aged 18 and over.

Over roughly three and a half hours, you’ll walk through a neighbourhood stretch known for churches, older architecture, independent shops and produce stores. The guide introduces the area as you move between food stops, with tastings spread through the route rather than saved for one sitting. The menu can change depending on availability and conditions, so exact dishes may vary on the day. There’s a fair amount of walking involved, so comfortable shoes are a good idea. If you have dietary requirements, you’ll need to contact the operator in advance.
