Renowned pastry chef Anna Polyviou was amazed by the abundance of food offerings in the City.
“I didn’t realise how much Canterbury Bankstown had to offer,” Polyviou said.
“As soon as I stepped into An Restaurant in Bankstown, the smell transported me to Vietnam, and the pho was absolutely amazing.
“I was even taken back to my home in Cyprus when I visited Trianon Cake Shop, a family run business in Earlwood.
“There was everything from the Cypriot tahinopies, the galaktoboureko, the baklava, the Flaunes; just so much on offer and all made in house.”
With more than 1,000 restaurants across Canterbury Bankstown, the options are endless.
Mayor Khal Asfour said the pandemic had revealed the importance of exploring our own backyard.
“The Eat Global Visit Local directory is an opportunity for visitors to unlock the flavours of the world,” he said.
John Gebran, owner of Gebran Lebanese Cuisine, did not hesitate when opening his restaurant in Canterbury-Bankstown more than 20 years ago.
“Canterbury-Bankstown has been my backyard all my life, so when I wanted to share the traditional dishes of North Lebanon with my community, it was an easy decision to open in Mount Lewis,” he said.
