Restaurants & Bookings
When it comes to dining out in Potts Point I recommend to make bookings with all the local restaurants as they are extremely popular and frequently booked out. Especially if you have a favourite or know a hot new place you are dying to visit.
If you decide to wing it then I would recommend arriving really early 5.30pm / 6pm to secure a spot on the night of your choice.
Alternatively most venues have a waiting list which is usually about 45 min wait during the dinner rush from 6.30 through to 9.30.
Hope this helps!
