Subscribe The Best Dining Deals in Sydney this Week
There's a dining deal in Sydney for every day of the week. These are the best.
Whilst the cost of living has been hitting a little hard as of late but that’s not to say you can’t pop out for a bite to eat every now and then with the help of a sneaky dining deal.
In fact, some of these deals are so good that it’s cheaper to duck out for a quick bite than pop something together at home. From $15 curry nights to $4 tacos, there’s a bite for every mood. Keen to save a buck? Read on for the best dining deals in Sydney this week.
$10 Burgers, Every Day at Bar Julius
Just when you thought lunch couldn’t get any better — Bar Julius drops a bomb. Every day from 12pm–3pm, swipe their signature burger (normally $26) for just $10. We’re talking thick, juicy patties, Swiss cheese melt, celeriac remoulade, and dijonnaise — a flavour-packed combo that hits all the right notes without hitting your wallet hard.

$5 Martinis, $12 Cheeseburgers & $28 Bug Rolls with a Side of Caviar at Franca
There’s no better way to clock off than with a $5 cocktail in hand at one of Sydney’s most elegant brasseries. Franca’s ‘5@5 Happy Hour’ is your golden hour — running from 5pm to 6pm daily, and serving up a tightly curated lineup of bites, minus the hefty price tag.
Whether you like your martini classic, dirty, or with a twist, nothing beats a cheap sip of the good stuff — and all within the chic, Euro-inspired surrounds of Potts Point’s favourite French diner. Pair it with a $12 cheeseburger, chicken liver parfait, or a Negroni if you’re feeling bold. Or go all out with their secret Moreton Bay Bug roll and caviar plate for just $28. With just one hour to make the most of it, we’d suggest booking ahead to avoid missing out.
