From gourmet fish pies to traditional Greek Spanakopita, we’ve rounded up the best oversized pies to keep your family well fed in lockdown.

There’s no shortage of bakeries across Sydney selling award-winning classic beef pies. But what we’re seeing more of is gourmet family-pies, designed to be shared from the middle of the table. These are no ordinary pies and the abundance of flavour and incredible produce chefs are able to encase inside perfectly golden pastry is noteworthy. For those days when you don’t feel like cooking, take your pick from these restaurants and cafes offering delicious takeaway family pies in Sydney.

Bellevue Cottage, Glebe

This charming restaurant in the heart of Sydney’s Backwattle Bay serves one of the best fish pies in Sydney. Head Chef Antoine Moscovitz crafts a delicious cottage pie combining premium seafood and perfectly golden pastry. The filling is a combination of John Dory and Barramundi with a juicy prawn broth and aromas of ginger and charred leak. It’s not cheap at $60 a serve, but it’s worth every penny. Order online here

Alpha Restaurant, Hyde Park

Alpha reopened its doors earlier this year after a Greek-inspired renovation. Much to Sydneysiders’ relief, the famous Alpha Spanakopita is still on the menu. With the perfect ratios of fresh spinach, creamy feta and buttery pastry, you have Sydney’s best Spanakopita. The best part? It’s just $28. Order online here

Brown Sugar, Bondi

The only pro about winter is that truffles are in their prime and we see them pop up on menus across Sydney. The prices are usually hefty, but not Brown Sugar’s iconic Fish and Truffle Pie at just $38 a serve. With perfectly golden pastry folding over the edges, chunks of fish and fragrant leek falling out of each slice and a side of Paris mash, this has to be one of the best fish pies in Sydney. Order online here

Margaret, Double Bay

Neil Perry’s newest venture Margaret is offering takeaway until diners can visit the restaurant. With Perry in the kitchen, you can expect the menu to highlight Australian produce and he sure does this with the Beef and Guinness Pie. This pie features CopperTree Farms premium beef with sides of potato purée, braised peas and good old fashioned ketchup. You can email samantha@margaretdoublebay.com to secure your serve and pick it up from the restaurant.

Neil Perry at Home, Providoor

Providoor, Sydney’s newest boutique delivery service has added Neil Perry at-home to their list.
