Whatever the case is, you can easily satisfy your cravings for something sweet on your next holiday. Here are some ideas to make sure your next holiday is filled with unforgettably sweet memories:

Head to Sydney if you want to stuff yourself with the best sweet treats you can find. This city is the perfect food trip destination for dessert lovers because choices aren’t just limited to the classic treats. Tickle your tastebuds at the Greek restaurant Alpha and order a plate of chocolate hazelnut baklava that comes with a sour cherry ice cream topping. If you want something Italian, Darlinghurst’s Gelato Messina has the perfect treat: a bowl of pear and rhubarb gelato. Drop by Ms G’s and get your hands on the Stoner’s Delight, a strangely delicious but aptly named combo that can include ice cream, jam, peanut butter, potato chips, bacon, and fried banana.


One good way to get to know a place is through its delectable sweets. So why not plan a food trip with your friends or family for a more memorable holiday? You’ll never run out of places to visit and treats to taste. From the Noosa region to Sydney’s busy streets, your options are practically endless. To make it easier for you to roam around the city in search for the ultimate dessert, book with a cheap car rental that has branches at different locations.
