SYDNEY: $300 dining voucher to Perama
Prize Code: AP02

Enjoy the various courses of Greek through the ages at Perama, once again a SMH One-Hat restaurant. Journey from ancient Greece to the moorish flavours of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empire, and don't leave without trying their caramel baklava ice cream or olive oil ice cream.

Owner and head chef David Tsirekas will look after you like his own and I can personally vouch for the amazing silky texture of the bizarre-sounding but divine-tasting olive oil ice cream.
