Sydney Restaurant Tips by SmilingTraveller

Restaurant Name: Doyle's On The Beach

This is the site where Doyle's opened their first seafood restaurant in 1885. Ever since, it has been family owned and operated for over 5 generations.

With both indoor and outdoor dining, located right on the foreshore of Watsons Bay with the waves lapping the shore as you overlook Sydney Harbour, it is a true experience to dine there for either lunch or dinner.

Doyle's is fully licensed and offers a great range of fresh seafood and is open 7 days a week. Parking is available.

Entrees average around A$17.00, with Mains averaging A$35.00 and Dessert A$8.80.

Favorite Dish: I always enjoy the fresh seafood, especially the Sydney Rock Oysters and King Prawns. The simple things in life are often the best.

Restaurant Name: Barzura Cafe-Ristorante

Barzura has been a favourite with the locals since 1994. Offering both indoor and outdoor dinning, this restaurant has a casual feel and is buzzing from breakfast until well into the night. Situated at the south end of Coogee Beach, Barzura offers uninterupted views across the beach.

Breakfast is served from 7am to 1pm so there is no need to get up too early to enjoy your favourite breakkie foods.

If you are not feeling too hungry, but would still like to enjoy a delicious snack, Barzura serves up Barzura Bites from 7am to 7pm.

For lunch and dinner you can select from the menu or from the Specials Board which is updated each Thursday fortnight. Three courses will average around A$50.00 p/p.

Barzura is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee and cocktails from 7am, 7 days a week. Fully licensed or BYO wine.

Favorite Dish: At breakfast don't miss the Cornfritters with bacon, tomato and advocado - A$12.50.

For a lunchtime treat I have not found a better Nasi Goreng anywhere else in Sydney - A$15.50.

Two delicious choices for dinner are the Grilled Kangaroo Rump with redcurrent jus - A$21.50 (remember, Kangaroo is best eaten rare) and the Seared Salmon Fillet with braised fennel - A$24.00.
