My Kitchen Rules star Colin Fassnidge has revealed the best places to eat 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 has declared family-owned Thai restaurant Porkfat in Sydney’s Haymarket the “best restaurant” in the country.
“I took Nigella Lawson there last year and she’s (still) raving about it,” Fassnidge told Secondz, an Australian restaurant recommendation app.
The establishment has received hundreds of five-star reviews from foodies who praised the restaurant’s menu, ambiance and service.
“This is the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to,” said one. ‘Very powerful and absolutely delicious flavors. The pork jowl is a must-try, as is their homemade coconut ice cream dessert, which is divine.
The celebrity chef named Billy’s Bar Espresso in Maroubra as the go-to place for the best coffee in Sydney.
Australians are very picky about their coffee and often criticize foreigners who claim that Australian coffee is not up to par.
“(Billy is a) very loud coffee maker, he never shuts up,” Fassnidge joked. “But it makes excellent coffee.”
The chef’s order is a flat white with a triple shot of espresso.

The celebrity chef named Billy’s Bar Espresso in Maroubra as the go-to place for the best coffee in Sydney.
Billy’s Bar Espresso opened in 2007 and locals return every day for their caffeine fix.
When it comes to Sydney’s best pub, Fassnidge can’t get enough of The Red Lion in Rozelle.
The cozy place is decorated with elegant furniture and artwork on the walls.
Locals frequent the pub for weekly events such as Tuesday trivia nights and happy hour.
The Red Lion also has a bistro upstairs for those who want a little more sophisticated menu options, without the high price tag.

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