Campsie is a Feast of Flavours! Campsie is a Feast of Flavours, with an extensive and diverse collection of restaurants and shops to suit the tastes of the discerning diner and people who just love food! For over ten years we have been highlighting Campsie Feast of Flavours with our annual Campsie Food Festival - affectionately known as the Seoul of Sydney – reflecting the predominant Korean influences in Campsie with local businesses, residents and community groups, associations and clubs. Campsie is more than a destination to visit once a year for the Campsie Food Festival – it’s somewhere you just have to keep coming back to explore the unique cuisine, taste and aromas, and authentic Asian speciality shops and grocers. This Feast of Flavours Guide will tantalise your tastebuds and is designed to entice you to find out more about why Campsie is a true foodies destination. Inside you will see some mouth-watering dishes of the great food that our local restaurants have to offer. Whether it is Pork Buns, Peking Duck, Pho, Hotpots, Korean BBQ, Kim Chi or crispy Agadashi Tofu and Sashimi Campsie does it like no other. Korean, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese are the main cuisines, but you’ll also find Italian, Indian and a Turkish takeaway. Campsie’s Feast of Flavours is not just about food – it’s an experience. I invite you to come back to Campsie and discover the hidden gems of Sydney, and the stories behind the food.
