The Best Set Menus in Sydney for Under $70
Score a fancy feast on a budget with the best set menus in Sydney.
We love a good set menu. They’re seasonal, bountiful, and a great way to try a taste of everything at a new restaurant. The downside? They’re often rather pricey. No need to panic, however, if you’d like to get your hands on some frugal multi-course meals and quality set menus.
If you’re willing to dine within specified hours, you might just bag a bargain. Are you a foodie on a budget? Read on for the best set menus in Sydney under $70.

Cho Cho San
Equal parts playful and chic, Cho Cho San is where the cool kids go for Japanese. To sample the best dishes and save some coin, order the Izakaya set menu with eight dishes for $65 per person. For fine dining without the price tag, this feast is 100% the way to go with their eggplant miso sticks, fried pork cutler and black sesame mochi trout making winning appearances on the menu.

Ela Ela
For a full Greek feast under $70 that will have you rolling out the doors, it has to be Ela Ela. This opening from Peter Conistis has been a hit since the day it opened. Giving low-key Mediterranean luxe, the neutral interiors are a great backdrop for plate after plate of Greek treats.
Start with a wood-grilled pita, baked kalamata olives and whipped feta before diving into entrees, two main courses and an orange-blossom ice cream dessert. A fun selection of Greek bevvies and a smattering of Aussie drops make up the curated beverage list.
