A street in Double Bay has been described as the Rodeo Drive of Sydney restaurants.

Bay Street has been welcoming high-end restaurants for some time now, and with the latest inclusion of a new Japanese 140-seat Asian eatery and jazz bar it's set to further cement its reputatio for innovative fine dining.
