JUST IN: This unique Sydney spot has been named one of the world's best new restaurants

Us Sydneysiders are a pretty lucky bunch. We're home to some of the most beautiful beaches on Earth, one pretty sweet white house with sails – and many of the world's greatest restaurants. Plus, we've got more new restaurants than we can throw a Croc at. We've always known our dining scene is world-class, and so do the reviewers at Condé Nast Traveller. Last week, the award-winning travel publication dropped its 2025 Hot List of the best new restaurants that have opened (or reopened) in the past 12 months – and one Sydney venue made the cut. Saint Peter, Josh and Julie Niland's game-changing seafood palace in Paddington – and Time Out Sydney's Best Special Occasion Restaurant 2025 nominee – was named as one of the best new restaurants in the world (read our five-star review here). And while the OG Saint Peter opened on Oxford Street way back in 2016, Saint Peter 2.0 reopened in 2024 at a brand-new address inside The Grand National Hotel. A project five-and-a-half years in the making, the new Saint Peter came complete with a slick bar and a 14-room luxury boutique hotel. The revolutionary scale-to-tail restaurant has changed the way we view and consume creatures of the sea – while championing sustainability one delicious bite at a time – with Niland serving up a dazzling menu featuring noodles made from coral trout bones, charcuterie from fish offcuts and Murray Cod fat caramel. Though this is special-occasion dining – the nine-course tasting menu will set you back $275 per person – the good news is you can drop in to the more casual bar area and enjoy Niland's creations (hello, yellowfin tuna cheeseburger) with a frosty Martini. Or dine at lunch and order off the à la carte menu.

While it shares its name with McConnell's beloved Melbourne original, which opened a decade ago, Supernormal Brisbane has been given a tropical makeover to match its breezy riverside setting.
