I've tried to find a suitable Google Places API that takes in My Location and returns the nearby restaurants.

Currently, I've been able to find only restaurants in a "particular" city.

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/xml?query=restaurants+in+Sydney&sensor=true&key=*MyKey*

Is there a way of implementing this?

Is this what you are looking for?

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/xml?location=49.260691,-123.137784&radius=500&sensor=false&key=*PlacesAPIKey*&types=restaurant

types is optional
