My Kitchen Rules star Colin Fassnidge has revealed the top go-to food venues in Australia
My Kitchen Rules star Colin Fassnidge has revealed the best places to eat in Australia – and the one cafe he ‘always’ visits for ‘great’ coffee.
The Irish chef declared the family-owned Thai restaurant Porkfat in Sydney‘s Haymarket the ‘best restaurant’ in the country.
‘I took Nigella Lawson there last year and she (still) raves about it now,’ Fassnidge told Secondz, an Australian restaurant recommendations app.
The establishment has received hundreds of five-star reviews from foodies who praised the restaurant’s set menu, ambiance, and service.
‘This is the best Thai restaurant I have ever been to,’ one said. ‘Very punchy flavours and absolutely delicious. The pork jowl is a must try and so is their house made coconut ice cream dessert, which is divine.’
The celebrity chef named Billy’s Bar Espresso in Maroubra as the go-to spot for the best coffee in Sydney.
Australians are very particular about their coffee – and frequently slam foreigners who claim coffee Down Under isn’t up to par.
‘[Billy is a] very noisy coffee maker, he never shuts up,’ Fassnidge joked. ‘But he makes great coffee.’
The chef’s order is a flat white with a triple shot of espresso.

Billy’s Bar Espresso opened its doors in 2007 – with locals going back every day for their caffeine fix.
When it comes to the best pub in Sydney, Fassnidge can’t get enough of The Red Lion in Rozelle.
The cosy spot is decorated with elegant furniture and pieces of art donning the walls.
Locals frequent the pub for weekly events like Tuesday trivia nights and happy hour.
The Red Lion also features an upstairs bistro for those wanting a slightly fancier menu options – without the hefty price tag.

Nude Pizza and Big Bunz are among the celebrity chef’s favourite restaurants in his local area
‘One of the best pubs in Sydney by far,’ a five-star reviewer said. ‘I’ve been coming here every week for years.’
Nude Pizza and Big Bunz are among Fassnidge’s favourite Malabar restaurants, which are in his local area.
The small dining venues are known for making their food from scratch and using top-quality Australian ingredients.
‘Big Bunz is such a gem – best burgers in Sydney,’ a foodie said.
‘Ingredients are fresh, patties cooked to perfection with just the right amount of flavour and smokiness, but the unsung hero is the signature sauces made in-house.’
‘Such great value for money and hands down the best Italian food I’ve had,’ another said about Nude Pizza.
‘The dessert pizzas are a must.’
