We offer a 3 course menu with sides for $210 per person. Our cooking is not overly technical and tricky – it’s robust and direct – allowing the pure flavours of the ingredients to sing. We’ve enjoyed developing a whimsical dessert menu based on traditional Australian sweets, and the wine list, similarly – is a reflection of the best of Australia – without taking itself too seriously", Peter Gilmore.

A delightful anniversary experience. We have dined once at the Bathers Bistro, but this was a first meal at the restaurant. The food was excellent, though not overly generous. Waiting staff were friendly and attentive without being pushy. It is lovely to sit and eat while watching the sunset colours over Balmoral Beach, Middle Harbour and North Head, and then after dark the floodlit beach out the front.
