Restaurants to Treat Dad This Father’s Day in Sydney

When treating Dad to a Father’s Day feast, why settle for the ordinary? From award-winning cuisines to awe-inspiring views and venues, try these eateries befitting of a celebration:

Empire Lounge, Rose Bay

Named after the Empire Flying Boats of 1938, the waterfront lounge and bar is home not only to delicious seafood and cocktails, but also serves as the departure lounge for Sydney Seaplanes. Watch them take to the skies while basking in the surrounding views—a great way to really spoil your dad.

Ripples, Milsons Point or Chowder Bay

Rain, hail or shine, Ripples Milsons Point or Chowder Bay is the perfect Father’s Day destination to soak up the city’s famous sights. The café offers relaxed Sydney dining with innovative Italian-inspired menu. With water views and affordable, delicious food, Ripples will become your dad’s new favourite spot.

Love Fish, Barangaroo

The Barangaroo District is home to more than a few gems and for fathers who prefer to tuck into the other white meat, love.fish does fish in all the best ways. Expect Australian seafood grilled to perfection. The fish is yours and yours alone; however, you may have to share the chips and greens as these come as substantially portioned sides.

Plonk Beach Café, Mosman

Does your Dad love fresh seafood and cold beer? Treat him to a lazy lunch by the sea at Mosman’s Plonk Café. This seaside venue is the perfect place to while away an afternoon watching waves gently lap the shore as you reminisce about old times.
