The Best Set Menus in Sydney for Under $70

We love a good set menu. They're seasonal, they're bountiful and they're a great way to get a taste for a new restaurant. The downside? They're oftentimes rather pricey. No need to panic, however, if you'd like to get your hands on some frugal feasts. If you're willing to dine within specified hours, you might just bag a bargain. Are you a foodie on a budget?
