It’s human nature to be attracted to the shiny hot new thing, and in the world of food and drink (the best world to traverse in, in our humble opinion), that means we’re drawn to new restaurant openings like tweens to Jacob Elordi (actually, most people to Jacob Elordi, hello Saltburn). (You can check out the best new places to visit in Sydney here.)
But there’s something to be said about the Sydney restaurants that stay open throughout the years, riding the hospitality wave and managing to stay fresh and current while being consistent and reliable. One of these restaurants is Spice Temple, the fiery subterranean Chinese spot that swung open its heavy black doors in the CBD in 2009 and never looked back.
