Experience

Your tour starts at the historic and vibrant Sydney Fish Market, which has been serving the community since 1871. From the market, your route takes you through the Victorian-terraced suburb of Glebe and along the lively Glebe Point Road, which is home to a variety of cafes, bakers and grocery stores. Your tour then terminates at the culinary hub of the recently renovated Tramsheds, where the food is creative and innovative.

Uptaste

What is Uptaste? We’re something like a travel agency business (although we don’t sell flights or hotels). Instead, we specialise in finding the right place to eat, wherever and whenever you are, using location intelligence combined with expert and community curation. Uptaste destinations will rarely be restaurants; they’ll be shops, they’ll be street traders, they’ll be local markets, or some other easy-to-miss but hard-to-forget place.
