Chatswood is home to some of the best foodie spots in Sydney, thanks to its huge variety of Asian influences and flavours. Whether you’re an avid foodie, or you’re looking to try something a little outside of your comfort zone, these 3 hotspots have got your name on them. 

Gram Pancakes

Gram Pancakes is one of the most popular foodie hotspots in all of Chatswood, with regular queues out the door at all times of the day. Gram is famous for its Japanese-style soufflé pancakes which are also known as the ‘wobbly’ pancakes thanks to their thick consistency. The pancakes gained a cult following across both Japan and the internet and has since opened many stores across Asia, the US and now Australia. The cafe itself is extremely aesthetically pleasing and is accompanied by neon lights and beautiful greenery in the form of hanging plants. There are eight different flavours of the pancakes to try, including tiramisu, honey apple and caramelised banana. There are also a variety of delicious drinks to accompany the treats including mango, matcha and strawberry smoothies.
