Best Australian Restaurants in Balgowlah

There’s no other place like “Bather’s”, where you can sit and watch the people walking by on the promenade, gaze at the ocean and eat wonderful food served by efficient staff. It’s been a favourite restaurant over the many years and holds many wonderful memories.

The restaurant seats by date of booking and order of seating preference. So be sure to let them know if you want to be on the balcony (outside) or inside as this will determine whether you are in the direct sun or not depending upon your dining time. We did not know this and they were kind enough to accommodate us to be out of the sun. The food was excellent as was service. It seems expensive for a small sourdough loaf ($12) - we get bread included for free at home, 3 prawns ($32) and fish & chips ($56) hence my "good value" rating only. However, food is expensive in Sydney, the portion size was not skimpy and the quality of the fish was high. So it was worth it and we'd go back again.

Superb location. Staff and service exceptional. Food was fresh, plentiful and delicious. The live music was relaxing and so perfect for a lazy afternoon lunch. I’ll be back - Thankyou.

As always the service and food excellent. Carol and Paul were very attentive and professional. We always have a wonderful experience at Garfish Crows Nest. Thank you to all the staff !!!!!
