If you don’t see your preferred reservation time available, don’t worry! We set aside half of our restaurant for walk-ins, so you’re always welcome to drop by. Harry Gatos is a Pan-Asian bar and diner harking back to the golden era of '80s Asian eateries—the ones we all grew up with and loved. We’re having fun with our food and drinks menu, taking the classics we know and love and peppering in some Australian natives to bring it all home. With bold flavours, playful twists, killer cocktails, tap beer, and a curated wine list, Harry Gatos is the perfect spot to share a feast, have a few drinks, or just a good time after a paddle at Freshie Beach.Must-try dishes: Our prawn toast, drizzled with a wattle-seed & honey soy sauce, is a game-changer. Or dive into our rich chicken curry, infused with lemon myrtle and garnished with crispy fried curry leaves.
