Top Food Australia
Discover Better Food. Cook Better. Eat Better.
Food is more than something on a plate.
It’s the recipe you make again because everyone loved it. The little restaurant you almost walked past. The perfect steak on a Friday night. The dumpling place worth driving across town for. The ingredient that completely changes the way you cook.
Top Food is your place to discover what’s worth cooking, eating, trying and sharing across Australia.
From easy weeknight dinners and weekend feasts to restaurant discoveries, ingredients, kitchen tips and the food trends everyone is talking about, we’re here to help you find your next great meal.

Food Without the Fuss
There is already enough complicated food advice on the internet.
Top Food is about making food interesting, approachable and useful.
We want to answer the questions people actually have.
What should I cook tonight?
Is that expensive ingredient really better?
What’s worth ordering?
Where should we eat this weekend?
Can I make this at home?
What should I serve when friends come over?
And, most importantly…
Will it actually taste good?
Discover Australia’s Food Scene
Australia has one of the most diverse food cultures in the world.
A single neighbourhood can take you from Vietnamese pho to Lebanese charcoal chicken, handmade Italian pasta, Cantonese roast meats, Korean BBQ, Indian curries, Japanese ramen and a classic Australian pub steak.
That diversity is what makes eating here interesting.
Top Food celebrates the restaurants, dishes, ingredients and people that make Australia’s food scene what it is, including the suburban favourites that don’t always make the glossy restaurant guides.
Good food doesn’t need a dress code.
For People Who Love Food
You don’t need to be a chef to care about good food.
Top Food is for home cooks, enthusiastic eaters, restaurant hunters, BBQ obsessives, coffee people, amateur bakers and anyone who has ever spent twenty minutes deciding what to order.
We’ll help you discover:
Better things to cook.
Better places to eat.
Better ingredients to try.
And better ways to enjoy food.
Running a Café or Restaurant?
Great hospitality isn’t only about what comes out of the kitchen.
Restaurant owners also have to think about staff, stock, cash handling, deliveries, customer areas and what happens to the premises after closing.
For hospitality businesses looking at CCTV, alarms or access control, Serious Security provides commercial security solutions specifically for restaurants and cafés in Sydney and Melbourne.
Then you can get back to the more important question:
What’s on the menu?
There’s Always Something New to Taste
Great food doesn’t stand still, and neither will Top Food.
We’ll be exploring recipes, restaurants, ingredients, products and ideas from around Australia, with plenty of opinions along the way.
Some will become favourites.
Some we’ll probably never order again.
That’s half the fun.
